April saw the release of statistics for this year’s intake of students to the country’s international master’s degree programmes. Stockholm University saw a 10 per cent increase in international students being given places on master’s programmes, as compared to the figures for last year, 2011. A total of 628 students have been accepted onto one or other of the University’s over 70 master’s programmes, with 537 students being placed on the reserve list.
The areas of IT, Business and Management, Law, and Economics have proved the most popular with this year’s batch of qualified applicants. An exception to this is the Master's Programme in International and Comparative Education, run by the University’s Institute of International Education (IIE). Places have been offered to 45 qualified international students—more than any other programme at Stockholm University.
