by Sylvia, Fundaciķn Universitaria San Pablo CEU, Madrid, Spain
Business Studies, Erasmus
My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
I am not acquainted with all the courses that are given at Växjö University but that University is pretty known all over Sweden and abroad for the business and economic studies. Almost everything if not everything can be studied there with good reputation
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
we, southen european students, dont have the habit to attend few hours of lessons and then study the rest on our own. In Scandinavia, it works just in the opposite way. In one side, that makes the students work harder themselves, but in another side,if the teacher explained a little bit more, students would increase their knowledge in less time This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Loved this one. Nice and easy and prepared me for my next semester at my home University, I came home to find a lot of the work for my final year already covered in my experience at Vaxjo.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
If English books were more accessible, I should have prepared and brought some with me had I properly known the areas of particular study. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
ACADEMIC

International Relations, Erasmus
My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
You'll be working together with other international students and this is a challenge. People from different cultural backgrounds have different approaches to working on a project, but it is a great way of working and gaining experience in working together with students. Your English is going to improve as well. You will not have a lot of hours in classrooms, but the projects take time. You will have plenty of time to travel or go out.

I can only say that I find Växjö Universitet doing a wonderful job. Please let them keep up the good work. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
I was in the Swedish Language class and my teacher was absolutly horrid. The books were more like readers which didnt teach us how to speak the language and our teacher didnt know how to communicate with us.

Course recommendations:
finally all business courses are interesting whereas I won't recommend any social science
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
Since Växjö I like and get along with group work, writing papers ... but finally the written exams that are based on single books are quite stupid. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Course recommendations:
I've been doing courses in Management and in social sciences. In social sciences sometimes i felt the impression that was not so perfectly organized. But in the complex I' ve had a positive experience

ACADEMIC
by Jesse, University of Minnesota - Duluth, Duluth, MN, United States
Business Studies, University Agreement
My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
Being able to take classes with people from all around the world led to many great discussions and there was a great gain in international perspective. Evaluation in the courses generally consisted of a large paper (with oral presentation) and a final, written exam that took a few hours to do. It was really straightforward.

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
very intense, sometimes only 3 classes in one week and then the course is finished. This is only for the business course.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
courses should offer more time for the international student to travel. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Business Studies, Erasmus
My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
In Vaxjo University they have an advantage that is that you can choose the subjects you want. That means that you can choose one subject from one couse and other from othe course and so on you make your own program. On the other hand the courses that are allready selected by the University are very good as well.

My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
When courses are only or mainly composed with International Students, Theachers should take more advantage of that by asking and make us share our personal experiencies more This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
ACADEMIC
by sc7jk, University of Hull, Hull, United Kingdom

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
If you arrive already with a knowledge of Swedish, then forget the international programmes and try: Nordiska Spraak, History or even another language as I did like German.

ACADEMIC
by Rodrigo, Instituto Tecnolķgico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, Monterrey, Mexico
Business Studies, University Agreement
My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
There are not many english courses to choose from because it is not the country´s native language, but the ones existing are pretty good.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
More in-site classes would be better, a bit too much self-study. A higher ratio of Swedish students to international students might be better. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
Since my courses were basically pre-selected for me, I can't really comment on any others.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
Since having a HUGE five-hour exam at the end of each course is the Swedish norm, I'm not going suggest an 'improvement'. It is a bit shocking to an American student, however. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
Iwould suggest an extension of single courses. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
It was very interesting. Love the Swedish acamedic set up - you do one course at a time - anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks - write a 5 hour exam and move to the next course. If you fail you get to write the exam again and again until you pass.
