English speaking grad schools in Scandinavian countries??

gregco • 2014 • 2 Answers

I'm beginning to look for graduate schools and would love to do something different and look in scandanavia somewhere to go to school. I am looking for a program where a B. Arch is not required, and more focused on design. I know there will be extra steps once I come back to the U.S. regarding licensing but I don't mind. Any comments would be much appreciated!

I am not an expert in that, but I can say for sure that even if can't find one it should not be an issue. Everyone speaks a perfect English there.

I attended Aalto University on exchange during my M.Arch. I wouldn't be too concerned about it, as English is widely used throughout the Scandinavian countries and schools. I assume this may not hold true for obscure schools in remote/small towns, but this info will be readily available if you get in touch with admissions officers directly. I would probably recommend staying in the major urban centers, and save the small spots for travel destinations.
