Course recommendations:
I did the Communications course which was fun and interactive and not really all that serious. The best thing about many of the courses offered for international students is that Swedish students are allowed to do them too, so you get the best of both worlds. We went on a field trip too to Berlin which was pretty cool.

Personal comments:
To tell the truth, I wasn't really there for the academics. BUT! I did enjoy the classes I took and the group projects we did. Other people did more serious courses than I did (like international law) which required more focus, but they seemed to learn a lot from those too.

Course recommendations:
Business Strategy Management is the best course I took there, really impressive. International Marketing is a good value course (measured by the amount of work it takes to get good grades). A huge percentage of students couldn't pass the Corporate Finance course but it's a very interesting one. Courses with essays (as opposed to exams) offer the best value.

Personal comments:
It would have been better if there were more native English teachers, more case studies and better local student involvement.

Course recommendations:
Professor Iain Cameron is a bit of hard task master but his course in International Law was inspirational. Don't take this course if you want to party. Do take this course if you want to discover a very fluid, constantly changing, challenging and very rewarding area of law. I would especially recommend it if you are interested in international affairs and politics.

Personal comments:
Not really. If you want to study then you can reach your potential and more, if not then you can enjoy the great parties.

Course recommendations:
Immunology is supposed to be pretty good. I took Biophysical chemistry MN1(supposed to be the hardest course, but it's not so bad. The class was very small, so I got to know many locals). Project work is an excellent experiment, just make sure you'll get along with your supervisor.

Personal comments:
Some of the courses were somewhat unorganized. They usually have several lecturers, so I suppose it can get quite difficult to make sure everything goes smoothly.

Course recommendations:
Courses are very interactive (at least by Swiss standards), professors and Swedish students are very welcoming towards internationals. Courses are easy to pass as long as you participate in group projects and seminars, but coming home with above average grades is definately an effort.

Personal comments:
Be attentive to course descriptions, and refer to anyone who has already taken the course for advice. In my experience a lot of the courses were too similar.

Course recommendations:
The Media and Communication stream of subjects was definitely not a difficult course.

Personal comments:
In most courses, you study one subject intensely for several weeks and then have an exam, before moving on to the next course. This was a very different type of assessment to what I was used, and took a bit of getting used to. No room for cramming before exams. It was necessary to keep up with the readings and class notes all of the time.

Course recommendations:
The level does not indicate anything about the interest or the amount of homework to do. Sometimes the amount of work is heavy, but for me it was pretty ok.

Personal comments:
It seems that Swees like to read and give back the exact opinion of the author at the exams. Strange. Maybe not enough personnal opinion. Maybe i also didn't stay long enough to assess the whole degree and way of studying.

Course recommendations:
It would be better in my opinion to have more lessons, I mean we had maybe 4 hours, not even, maybe with resting time, 3 hours per week. I had the impression of beeing on holidays, we had to study everything for our own, it would be good to have at least 2 hours per day to keep a pace. Though the idea of working groups was great. I just lacked to receive more information from professors during class lessons.

Personal comments:
Some professors did not speak a clear English. Most of them spoke perfectly English. It was difficult to follow those who explained the lesson with such a weird accent (India, one Swedish professor Org Behavior too). Try to stimulate relationships among swedish and erasmus students. I don t remember not even one swedish in my group. Photocopies are so extremly expensive in Uppsala. Having lesson at 8 in the morning when you have later all the day without other lessons seems ridiculous. At 7 it was -15 and totally dark in the street, paronama was scary.

Course recommendations:
I personally chose courses from the Faculty of Economics and Business: such courses are much better than those at the Faculty of Political Science

Personal comments:
It would be nice to discuss final exams (which are written) with the teacher, because during the time available for such tests you don't always have the opportunity to fully express your own ideas.

Course recommendations:
This master program is a very good for both local and international student, from which i can learn more detailed knowledge about chemistry and chemical engineering.

Personal comments:
If possible, i would rather to choose some other major's courses,like economic courses.

Course recommendations:
My classes were a joke. But I had some buddies who had a hard time with their classes. My advice is to make it as easy on yourself as possible, Your not going to want to spend the weekend studying when your buddies are off traveling.

Personal comments:
none

Course recommendations:
The courses, course materiaal and teachers were good. The only thing that was a problem at my faculty was the computer facility. I had difficulty finding a good computer.

Personal comments:
Just, better computer facilities for the economics faculty.

Course recommendations:
Overall the courses were fairly good. The emphasis on group work made for a fun learning environment.

Personal comments:
Better ongoing assessment so students are completely aware of where they stand going into their final project/exam.

Course recommendations:
I was lucky enough to be able to enroll in a class for Swedish students, but the majority of exchange students can only take courses in English. I took one of these courses and it was also really good. We had a field trip to the parialment house in Stockholm. It was great fun!

Personal comments:
No improvements, but you must be a person that takes initiative and wants to learn. You need to keep up on the suggested readings in order to pass your exams. I have never studied as much as I did in Sweden, but I learned a ton!!!

Course recommendations:
i very much enjoyed the fact that courses take place in one-month blocks; you do one course full-time for a month, then sit the exam and only then do you start worrying about the next course

Personal comments:

Course recommendations:
International Marketing tries to arrange guest lectures in St.Petersburg for the terms to come

Personal comments:
more specialized courses and more variety in courses would be nice

Course recommendations:
It would be good to have more explanations from teachers about the material the exams consist on.

Personal comments:
It was in general quite good. No commentaries.

Course recommendations:
Teachers in international courses shall improve their teaching skill not speak Swedish when they don't know what's in English!

Personal comments:
As the above.

Course recommendations:
They are usually arranged for international students because they're taught in English,and only few Swedish students choose this chance.

Personal comments:
none

Course recommendations:
Courses?

Personal comments:
Orientate the courses more towards previous academic experiences, not always a wide range of possibilities available.
