Uppsala Universitet (UU)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

none

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.

Just, better computer facilities for the economics faculty.
