I'm beginning to look for graduate schools and would love to do something different and look in scandanavia somewhere to go to school. I am looking for a program where a B. Arch is not required, and more focused on design. I know there will be extra steps once I come back to the U.S. regarding licensing but I don't mind. Any comments would be much appreciated!

I am not an expert in that, but I can say for sure that even if can't find one it should not be an issue. Everyone speaks a perfect English there.
Send them email and see what they say.

I attended Aalto University on exchange during my M.Arch. I wouldn't be too concerned about it, as English is widely used throughout the Scandinavian countries and schools. I assume this may not hold true for obscure schools in remote/small towns, but this info will be readily available if you get in touch with admissions officers directly. I would probably recommend staying in the major urban centers, and save the small spots for travel destinations.

Thank you for your input! I am thinking about going to school there for the full 3-4 years to get my full M. Arch so I should have clarified! So in that case, is there programs that offer all english speaking courses and lectures? I will get in contact with admissions officers though!

KA in Copenhagen has a fully English masters program in 3 departments, but in general everyone (and I mean everyone, from small children to crusty old men who have lived on a farm their whole lives) speaks impeccable English.

Thank you Stephanie Braconnier! Did you graduate from this program? Or did you just hear about it?

I graduated from KA dept. 11 in 2011.
