What It's Like To Study In Sweden 🇸🇪 (Everything You Need To Know)
Sweden is an incredible country to study in with world-class universities, a strong student culture, and real career opportunities after graduation.
In this video, I share my experience of studying in Sweden as an international student, the good, the challenging, and the things no one really tells you before you move.
I moved to Sweden in 2018 to study for my master’s at Lund University. After graduating, I found a job and have been living here ever since. I know how confusing it can feel when you first arrive trying to understand the education system, student life, work opportunities, and Swedish culture. This video is here to help you feel more prepared before you arrive, or help you settle in if you’re already here.
Whether you’re planning to study in Sweden or you’re already an international student, I hope this video gives you clarity and confidence.
