Over the past 7 days I have learned a lot, not only about second hand shopping and fashion, but also about myself.

The first part of our sustainability campaign was centred around second hand shopping. Oh […]

With only a 2-hour flight between my home country and here, I wasn’t really expecting university life in Sweden to be so different from in England. But I’ve been pleasantly (well, mostly pleasantly!) surprised by the differences in academic life between here and home. Please note: The following examples most likely don’t apply to every […]

Time flies. Time sure does fly, not only while you’re having fun, but also while you’re toiling away against challenges and deadlines. That pretty much summed up the first semester of my master program in Sweden. As a newcomer to both the country and postgraduate education, my life was like a roller coaster. I had […]

The Swedish Institute has recently updated several things about the Swedish Institute Study Scholarship (SISS) – its name to begin with! It will no longer be referred to as the Swedish Institute Study Scholarship (SISS) but the Swedish Institute Scholarships for Global Professionals (SISGP). If you are considering sending in your application in the next 2 months, […]

I am studying a one year Masters in Information Systems in Sweden at Lund University. It is a unique course because unlike a majority of Master programs that run for 2 years, it runs for 1 year. It feels like I started the course yesterday, however, in 2 months time, I will be submitting a […]
