Personal comments
If you go to Göteborg to improve your Swedish, I would recommend to take a course in your home country before. It helps if you do not have to start from zero.
Problem is that the Swedes speak English perfectly and you need a good discipline to speak Swedish with them.

I did not choose to learn Swedisch, because of the low advantage it presented to my career. However, I still regret my decision I made at the time!

Course recommendations
My choices were limited to overall business courses. I tried to get in to the computer science facilities, but at that time no agreement was set between the host university and my home university. :( Those agreements depend on your home university.
