Malmö Högskola (MAH)

I came to do a master's in IMER (international migration and ethnic relations). The program is VERY new, barely three years old, and the university is still trying to work it out. It was very disorganized at the beginning, even teachers in the program couldn't agree on what to teach and when to teach it. It was very difficult at times to obtain the literature for the courses, as no bookstores would carry our books and we had to order them online. The professors were nice, accessible and very approachable, however their grading criteria wasn't fully clear most of the time. The program is promising, but it definitely needs to go through some major changes and adjustments, it's still very new.

I have to say that the grading in my program was very confusing. Being the only native speaker of English, studying in an international program, I was frankly appalled to see that some of my classmates struggled with English in their presentations and essays (at times, they weren't able to convey their messages) and sometimes we would all get the same mark! Likewise, many professors seemed to favour projects and essays that focused on the Oresund region (Denmark and Skane), from a sociology perspective. That was frustrating, because this is supposed to be a multidisciplinary program, and all students have different academic backgrounds.

full-time courses during the winter and half-time during summer seems the perfect choice if u wanna travel a bit

Making the rules concerning dead lines, grading and second chances very clear in the beginning of the course would avoid some confusion.
