Location is great as I now am in an English speaking environment studying English and Linguistics, Rating is also important as it marks high for both the quality of the university and my course which in itself ranks top in the world.
Course Curriculum
It is very broad and has much room for indivisualisarion and areas of focus and specification. It gives you a bit of everything in the beginning so you can choose your area of expertise towards the end.
Exams
IELTS was the exam which I had to take as I am an international student coming from the EU. Otherwise my Swedish grades and qualifications were sufficient.
Internship
I believe they do, although I am unsure as I have yet to attempt to access alleged internship opportunities and places as I am only in my first year currently. Possibly these are queries more suitable for later years of study.
Fees
Tuition fees paid by SAAS as is my right being an EU student. Accommodation rent monthly. Other expences are e.g., text books and other academic material.
Scholarship
No. I have not availed any scholarship or financial aid outside of the tuition fees paid by SAAS as is my right being an EU student.
Examination Structure
Very good. One block in the winter, one in the spring. The dates for the entire exam diet are readily available and your specific dates for personal courses are released about a month beforehand which can seem a bit too late, but honestly it is fine.
Faculty
Very good and professional. Helpful and happy to engage with students regarding their interests, troubles and queries. Active and always available both online and through office hours and reception.
Hostel
I live in university accommodation off campus where I was allocated a room in a flat of total 9 residents with a shared kitchen. I have a private bathroom with shower and a study space in the bedroom. The accommodation has a laundrette, common room and 24/7 security/reception which makes me feel safe and cared for.
