Skövde, in western Sweden, is a small university city at the foot of Billingen hill, known for the University of Skövde. Its programs in game development and IT attract students interested in technology.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language study options in Skövde. The University of Skövde's Swedish courses and preparation programs for international students are among the options.
In Skövde you can book courses of as little as one week. On an intensive program, one language level usually takes 6-8 weeks. A complete beginner typically needs 6-12 months to reach the B2-C1 level required for university.
The biggest factor in the price is the length of your booking: the weekly fee drops noticeably for bookings of 12 weeks or more. Winter is usually cheaper than the summer months. NGGlobal students can take advantage of the schools' seasonal discounts and offers.
At most language schools courses start every Monday, though complete beginner courses may have set start dates. For long programs that require a visa, we recommend applying at least 3 months ahead. Summer is the busiest period.
For study longer than 90 days in Sweden, you need a residence permit for studies from the Swedish Migration Agency (Migrationsverket). It is usually granted for full-time programs at higher education institutions, and a long-term permit for a private language course alone is usually not possible.
Working in breach of visa rules can lead to serious penalties, so always follow the official rules. NGGlobal helps you plan your budget for the course and living costs.
Student housing in Skövde is provided by the university and private housing companies; demand is high, so apply early.
Living costs in Skövde are lower than in Stockholm, and student housing and discounts ease the budget.
Buses serve Skövde, and cycling is very common. SJ trains make other cities easy to reach.
Skövde has a mild but cool climate: winters are cold and snowy with short days, and summers are mild with long days.
Direct flights from Istanbul to Gothenburg Landvetter (GOT) take about 3.5-4 hours; the train from Gothenburg to Skövde takes about 1-1.5 hours.
Because Sweden uses daylight saving time, the time difference changes with the season: from late March to late October Skövde is 1 hour behind Turkey, and in winter it is 2 hours behind.
