Were you able to find work in Denmark, Sweden, or Germany after attending university in those countries


Were you able to find work in Denmark, Sweden, or Germany after attending university in those countries?
I am interested in attending university in Denmark, Sweden, or Germany as a non-EU international student to earn a masters degree. I am looking for a well rated, cheap university that preferably offers English versions of one of the programmes that interest me. It seems Germany and Denmark may be the cheapest. What concerns me the most is finding work in the same country, or nearby countries, after finishing my degree. So, if you've completed masters programmes at universities in any of these countries, please let me know what your experience was in finding work after finishing. If you don't mind, also what school you went to and your degree. Thank you.

Germany and Denmark are the cheapest, they also teach the least in English. Give up on Denmark, they are anti-immigration and preserve it by doing everything in Danish. No school will be cheap for you. Sweden will start charging tuition in 2011. Germany charges about $22,000 a year for the English degree programs that it does teach. Norway doesn't charge tuition but the cost of living is really high there, and student loans wouldn't count, so you would go on personal loans, which are much harder to secure. It is hard to help you since you didn't mention what field you are going to. Finland does not charge tuition, and the cost of living is not that high, they also teach a lot of courses in English, my top choice for grad school in in Finland, they have a great human geography program. Finding work is a completely different game. You will need to speak the language of whatever country you do go to, you don;t stand a chance if you only speak English. Right now their economies are not doing amazing either, so it is really hard to say, but you always have to be prepared to go back home.
