The official language in Sweden is Swedish. Even though it is very easy for international students to get by with English only, learning Swedish could be a great advantage. As a foreign student, you do not need to learn Swedish, but doing so will help you understand the culture better and it will increase your chances to get a job in Sweden after your studies.
