NEW ORDER IN SWEDEN would favor INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

The Swedish Parliament is discussing a decree that would facilitate them doctoral students from non-European countries to establish procedures in Sweden after graduation, by granting permanent residence permits.

The laws in Sweden have to be more flexible to attract the best students from abroad, who may decide to live in this country from the moment they begin their doctorates.

At present, international doctoral trainees have temporary residence permits, which does not guarantee getting them permanent residence permits after graduation. Even reaching restrictions cause problems when leaving the country during their studies.

However, today there are approximately 20 000 PhD students in Sweden who are considered by the higher education sector as leaders capable of driving the Swedish economy.

A large proportion of our PhD students were born outside Sweden. Often they receive their doctorates in strong competition with Swedish students.

This announcement follows a long battle to increase the rights and exceptions for PhD students from other countries living in Sweden. The Minister of Higher Education of Sweden requested the parliament to grant improved rights and better working conditions for doctoral students.

The ministry wants to increase the number of doctoral students working in higher education institutions, guaranteeing the joy of compulsory insurance and improvements in their rights when ill or have children.

Last year proposed the creation of a new residence permit that gives them doctoral students from countries outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, the same rights as students from Europe.
