Lund University (reviews)

Studying GIS at Lund University, Sweden was a valuable experience overall, though it came with both highlights and areas for growth. The course offered solid theoretical grounding in spatial data, remote sensing, and cartographic principles, supported by experienced faculty who are clearly passionate about the subject.

Practical lab sessions using tools like QGIS were engaging and relevant. However, I felt the course could benefit from more advanced programming integration, particularly with Python for geospatial automation, to better prepare students for today’s data-driven industry.

The international student environment at Lund enriched classroom discussions with diverse perspectives, which I found genuinely inspiring. Access to research databases and university resources was excellent.

Overall, I believe this program provides a strong foundation in GIS. With a few curriculum updates, it has the potential to be among the top geospatial programs in Europe. I recommend it with that context in mind.

The student life is probably one of the best in the world. The education is high level and the diversity is great! The sustainability is definitely a high priority in the university and the university is a global leader on this as well.

There aren’t many vibrant club activities here, and many of the professors in my Asian Studies department don’t actively engage with you; you practically don’t know each other after class. If you’re really looking for intensive academic training and personal connections, I don’t think this school is for you.

Furthermore, the potential job opportunities it offers make some positions seem practically meaningless.

Sometimes challeging and hard work, sometimes it was easy with studies and lectures. I think it was the best experience in my life. Meeting a new people from over the whole world. Professors were also nice and friendly.
