Sweden's constitution, its geography and its modern history are just some of the topics included in new educational material for the country's upcoming citizenship test, published online this week. Listen as we look at some of the topics covered in the brochure released by the Swedish Council for Higher Education, as well as what we know about how the test that's set to be taken for the first time this August will work.
