The overall experience is evaluated as positive. The university life allowed me to meet interesting people and to improve my interpersonal skills. The cost of life is quite high, expecially considering the food, so everyone want to go to the north had to take this into account

I didn't have a clue about scandinavian costumes, cultures and people, and was able to develop some familiarities with all of it, which today are still reflected in my life. Therefore, I still think it was an advantage to go "blank" for Sweden, as learning was done on a daily basis.

Fantastic arquitecture, on a beautiful place, with state-of-the-art facilities for students, during both class and extra-class periods. Good atmosphere, and very cosmopolitain ambient. Teaching is fair, compared with my home university and the demanding level to reach good marks is not that high. Anyway, I recommend it to anyone who wants to be on a modern and first level university.

I just loved my 6 months period in Göteborg for all the below mentioned reasons. Travelled a lot around Scandinavia, met many people, learned new ways of studying, became very independent, learned to live by myself. If you want to experience a new life, please try to travel abroad and earn some international experience, it's just great!

Nothing special. It was enough for me to be admitted to The Master Program and be provided with information on living expenes. However I would have liked to know a bit more about the interaction with companies.

I cannot really speak for the University as a whole, but for the Gradute Business School where I studied.
The School should futher interaction with companies, should reconsider the marking system which has only three grades.

I have not only gained intercultural experience but also an understanding of the importance of being open minded flexible and independent. It is one of the greatest learning experiences of my life that is making me grow stronger more independent and autonomous, as well as fully integrating me into an international culture.
Do not be afraid to come to Sweden because you do not speak swedish. Everybody here speaks english, you should also try Sweden during summer especially its two islands on the east coast.
