Sweden is consistently ranked as one of the most technologically
advanced and well organized countries in the world. And as such,
Sweden puts tremendous resources into its university system. For the
student this translates into an atmosphere where faculty has the time
to engage and inspire and where the computing resources are top notch
and well maintained.
As you consider your Masters Degree in computer science, consider our
program at Ume=E5 University in northern Sweden.

their various research fields of databases, image processing, grid

unofficially known as the 'capital of Norrland.' With a population of

As many of you may be aware, tuition in Sweden is currently free for
all University students, including international ones. Given this
fact, we are selective in those foreign students that we admit. Please
include in your application a general GRE (Graduate Record Exam)
score. Selection criteria is based on grade point average, GRE scores
and a personal essay. Students lacking a GRE score will still be
considered, however the quality of their grades and essay will have to
reach a higher level.
