What is it really like to be an international student at Stockholm University? Hear our international master’s students and alumni talk about their own experiences.

Studying abroad can be challenging in many ways. Being alone in a whole new country, having to find an accommodation or getting to understand how to live in a completely different climate, can feel exciting but also a bit overwhelming in the beginning.

However, studying in an international environment, and adapting to a different teaching model is also a great way to grow both as an individual and as a student.

Maybe you wonder about what student life is like in Stockholm, or how to get a job after you have finished your studies, or maybe you ask yourself the same question many international students do: do I have to learn Swedish when studying in Sweden?

Ismail, Summer, Krizea and Aleftin talk about their own experience at Stockholm University, discuss their own challenges, and share their best tips on how to cope with them.
