How did you choose your programme?
– I was looking to implement continuous improvement in life and never stop learning, so I began looking for a Master’s degree that would not only add value to my skill set and accelerate my career growth but also become a hub for my passion and motivation. This programme serves a variety of courses in different flavours that would complement everything I have previously learned.

This would allow me to achieve my ultimate goal of becoming a manager at a multinational firm.

What is it like to be an international student?

Also, I get to learn Swedish and enjoy fikas. Overall, I feel that being an international student brings about significant personal growth since you get to be independent and adapt to a new way of life.

There are many seminars where you get to discuss what you have read, and some courses even have music-based lectures that tap into the creativity of students.

Three quick questions
What is your favourite place in Uppsala?
– My favourite place in Uppsala is the old part of town. It feels like you are escaping reality when you walk the streets.

Where do you see yourself in five years?
– In five years, I hope to be here in Sweden, working at one of the big management consulting firms. Hopefully, my Swedish will have improved by then.

Where is the best place to study?
– My favourite place to study is the library in House 10 (Campus Ångström). I love the rotating single couches, where you can sit and charge, and turn your chair towards the sun when it is sunny outside. It is also nice to nap in them when you are very tired.
