Hi,

I am also agree with saxwidby recommendations. I was pursuing my PhD in Norway from last four years and my supervisor never care about my project and department also don't care about international students/researchers . it is difficult to make any network inside and outside academia since local people not open to foreigners. At the end i have to leave Norway and now working in Germany as researcher. I found completely opposite environment here in Germany. I definitely recommend to go for PhD in sweden, denmark, germany, and holland as my most of friend have not face any problem while doing phd in these countries and they also enjoyed full support from supervisor, groups and local people. But I also suggest you to enquire about supervisor thoroughly before join any group for PhD.

Best Wishes
