SU Review

SU is a quite vibrant school and I am quite satisfied so far. I believed my programme can help unlock multiple career prospects in the future, The professors are kind and always willing to provide assistance.

Top 3 in Sweden

Uppsala itself is a great city, it's easy to go to Stockholm and Arlanda. But to be in Uppsala as a university student is a whole experience on its own. With Nations, parties, fikas, cafés, parties (yes again), bars, knitting groups and many other events Uppsala has a place for everyone. (The other Universities in the top 3 would be Lund University and...... well the third is not set in stone as there are a few universities and "högskolor" to choose from" In my experience professors and teachers, competence will vary depending. But the great ones are really great.
