Hello dear new students, welcome to Blekinge Institute of Technology! Completing the Master’s programme at BTH is a new challenge and will give you an unparalleled competitive advantage, especially in your future work. Of course, life at BTH is not just about learning. BTH has many clubs such as badminton, hockey, football and other clubs. BTH holds regular engineer tea parties and will also invite some engineers with work experiences to participate at the tea party. Discuss with them the latest technology and your field of expertise. Looking forward to a pleasant exchange with you at the engineer tea party! Do you want to know more about these kind of activities? Read my blog article.

Welcome to Blekinge Institute of Technology (BTH). At BTH the master’s programmes are organised in such a way that you will get the best experiences for your upcoming professional life. I can not say the student life for a master’s student is very smooth, but the teaching system at BTH will always make you capable and self independent. For the master’s thesis you either go for an industrial thesis or thesis on campus. To find an industrial thesis you have to work on it and show your interest and knowledge by submitting your proposal to improve their ongoing research. If you ask me, this is one of your best opportunities to show your skill and  hard work. One more thing, after finishing your thesis the industry will pay very good salaries. The experiences you will gather from working with an industry, will help you to find a relevant job in Sweden easily. Apart from the study life, there are many occasions that take place here. The experience during summer is amazing in Sweden. People in Sweden celebrate the midsummer with different programmes and cultures. This is one of the biggest festivals in Sweden. Read my blog article to learn more about tips for studying and activities. Hope to meet you at BTH soon!

Keep Calm and Move to Karlskrona: Welcome newly admitted students & future MSLS cohort! A warm welcome to you all as you are preparing to enter this little special town of Karlskrona whether you are coming from abroad or within Sweden. I call Karlskrona a special town because I view this town as being so small in size but big in potential. There is a clear mix of traditions of old heritage and modern IT sector growth, internationals and locals communities, isolated from the mainland while being accessible to bigger and interesting places like the surrounding archipelagos and other cities like Malmö and Copenhagen. One other thing that I have to mention is that I was so touched by how the teachers & staff engaged themselves so much in our wellbeing and were interested in getting to know us individually. Read my blog article to learn more about the programme and student life.

Karlskrona is a lovely small town that is spread over 30 islands in the eastern part of the  Blekinge Archipelago and is the capital of Blekinge county. Almost every part of the town is walkable and it is peacefully quiet and beautiful. Well if you are from a big city and used to crowd and lively streets, you will get really shocked at first (just like me!) but then you will get used to it pretty fast and start enjoying it a lot! In Sweden, hiking will become your favorite hobby (if it was not in the first place) as there are so many breathtaking hiking trails everywhere. Want to know more about activities? Read my blog with tips about the magical Karlskrona.

Dear students, I just wrote a blog article about “10 Things to know before moving to Sweden (as an Indian student)”. You will get information about Swedish traditions as well as practical information. One of the things I am pointing out is that Sweden is very women-friendly. Treating all women with respect and dignity, Sweden also supports and provides women with benefits like maternity breaks, medical care, and financial support.
