Residence permits Closer dialogue with the Migration Board needed • Time frame (last day for payment) • the later the better • Recognition of other funding opportunities. • Today only US student loans and Swedish scholarships are accepted, but thousands of other scholarships are available. • Invitation from the Migration Board to a national meeting of all Swedish universities regarding immigration policies?

  12. The admissions process More expedient and flexible admissions process needed with regard to: • Application period • Possibilities for universities to have continuous dialogue with students during the process • Integrated scholarship process. Today students are being admitted without knowing their full costs (possible scholarships) • Application fee a major obstacle when recruiting students • Possibilities to have designated places for fee-paying students in second admission selection Local admission 2012?

  13. Scholarships - Not enough funds! • Not enough funds!

  14. Erasmus Mundus Exemption of tuition fees for Erasmus Mundus scholarship holders needed! • Contracts already established • Important source of excellent students with scholarships • Important EU programme, long term institutional cooperation

  15. Sweden as a study destination • Europe, Nordic, Scandinavia, Öresund, Lund? All? • Work opportunities after degree? • Coordination and help from authorities involved (embassies etc.) Better dialoque needed! Lots of challenges – Lots of opportunities !
