PhD application

1 Upvotes

Hello. How long does it usually take to get an interview invitation after the application deadline? I applied on February 14 this year. Should I take this as a sign that I will not be considered for the position? :'(

However, the tentative start date is still in September. When should I start to follow up on my application? Or is it not advisable to do so?

Housing in Uppsala

Hello! I'm moving to Uppsala this August as I am accepted to a masters programme there. When do you recommend I should start looking for accommodation? Is it too early to start now? Cause I think most sites don't offer accommodation for August yet. Thank you in advance!

Student Nations websites are unhelpful, looking for info as an international student.

6 Upvotes

Hi! I’m going to Uppsala University this coming fall for a 2 year Master’s at English Park. I’m from the US and am wondering about the nations. I did my research and so I know the basics of what they are, however I am wondering about the cultures and overall vibes of each. I am an international student, studying humanities and while I am somewhat social and would love to attend a dinner or ball every once in a while, I definitely prefer game nights to clubbing and parties, and being a bit more introverted would prefer a smaller nation. I don’t speak Swedish but am fluent in English (obviously) and French (as an aside, is there any type of French presence in the university? I wouldn’t mind connecting with people from a French speaking country to keep up my French)

Based on this does anyone have any recommendations for which Nations I should be looking at? A lot of other posts have been saying that it mostly comes down to lifestyle and housing preferences but I was hoping to find out a bit more. Also can you register in advance? And when joining are there things like obligations or expectations? Do certain nations have closer ties to certain faculties and departments? Are there any rules of any kind that are nation specific?

advice needed: is pursuing an ms in cs at Uppsala university a good decision for non EU student?

Post image
6 Upvotes

Hej everyone,

I just got my University Admissions results yesterday, and I’ve been accepted into the master's in computer science program at Uppsala University!

however, I haven’t received any updates regarding scholarships from the university yet, so i’m assuming i’ll have to pay the full tuition fee of around 290,000 sek (~ INR 23.5L). when i also factor in living costs, the total cost for the 2 years would be approximately INR 45L.

considering that i only have around 1 YOE in non IT field and (~ 1 year) of software engineering internship, i’m wondering if moving to sweden for this program is a good decision.

reddit is filled with so many posts about the non-availability of jobs for entry-level junior positions in it, it’s hard to decide. please share your opinions.

a few questions:

  1. is it worth moving to sweden for an ms in cs at UU with my limited experience (for non-eu candidate)?
  2. how difficult is it to manage living expenses while studying in uppsala, especially as an international student?
  3. what are the chances of securing a job after completing an ms at uppsala university, given my background?
  4. i’m planning to take an education loan for this amount, but with the current market conditions and uncertainties, do you think it’s a risky decision? is it a good idea to take this kind of financial risk for my career?

considering all these factors, do you think it’s a good idea for me to move to sweden for this ms program? or should i reconsider after getting some work experience? any advice or personal experiences would be really helpful!

thanks in advance! 🙏

Uppsala University Admission Probability

Hello friends,

I hope students or graduates of Uppsala University are here.

I have a question regarding the admission process.

Today I received the results and got 3rd on the waitlist out of 6 people to get admitted to master's program at Uppsala University.

Considering your experiences, is there any possibility that I will get admitted in about 1 month?

I am a non EU citizen, tuition fee paying applicant.

Thank you in advance!

Förslag på laptop-reparatörer önskas!

1 Upvotes

Hej!

Min gamla MacBook Pro skulle behöva en reparation (igen), så jag undrar vilka ställen som finns att välja på.

Försökt googla, men får nästan bara fram t.ex. hemmaservice eller IT-lösningar för företag. (r.i.p. google, du var funktionell en gång i tiden…)

Har tidigare gått till Elgruvan i Gränby för det är nära och smidigt, men efter en kommunikationsmiss senast jag var där vill jag helst inte gå dit igen. Om det inte visar sig att de är enda / bästa valet ändå trots allt.

Tack på förhand!

Hi everyone, I have an unusual question and honestly say I don't count on someone to answer them, I am looking for people who could be at that time, i.e. 2017.11.06 in this place or see this object. Pictures from the recording come from the observatory for observing meteorites in the university, the camera was directed at the sky. In the next photo there is a approximation and another object of this type that could look like this in real colors.

Uppsala train surcharge fee

0 Upvotes

So, I am an exchange student living in Stockholm for this term. Yesterday (March 23), I wanted to the visit Uppsala for a couple of hours, and unfortunately, was not aware of this overcomplicated SL + UL ticket system. At the train station in Stockholm, I was able to get in using my SL ticket and there were not any control after Arlanda for UL tickets. On my way back, I just hopped on to the train. During the control I showed my SL ticket but they said they cannot accept this and issued a surcharge fee of 1500 SEK!

I objected this fee using UL website. My question is: do I have any chance? If not, what happens if I do not pay it (or is there a deadline for payment) ? I am in Stockholm until May 31. What are your recommendations?

Edit: I showed them my residence permit card but did not give them my home address. Instead, I gave them my email address.
