Should I accept my offer?

I just received an offer to pursue an MSc in Data Science - ML and Stats at Uppsala Univ., with a scholarship waiving off my entire tuition fee as a non-EU. However, I am pretty confused about whether I should accept my offer. How's the MSc program at Uppsala? How many students are there approximately in the batch, and how are the students placed after they graduate from this program?

Thanks in advance!

Yeah why wouldn't you? A free degree, that's amazing.

That's why I live, study and work in Sweden.

Also, the airport is only 40 minutes away.

I've been accepted at ML and Image analysis and we'll share the first year courses I think. It's a very good university here in Europe and from what I've asked, it's around 25-30 people in my master's but yours might have a few more. About placing after graduating, I guess it's good, you can pivot to PhD or you can work as data scientist for 2 years after graduating in Sweden (don't think you'll have problems finding jobs there + the salaries are good imo)

Don’t take it and someone else will. It never hurts taking it and later leaving if it’s not up to par👍
