MSc Mobility Engineering - Batch of 2024
4.1
Study paradise but job hunting nightmare.
Tips: I would say only people who know exactly what they want to study to improve their already existing knowledge should choose Chalmers. Not all courses are intensive. The courses are intended for you to be industry ready. Only a few Master's programs have theoretically intensive courses, but they are very much needed. I definitely grew a lot as a person. I had an absolutely amazing time attending lectures, which was not always the case in India during my bachelor's. I never missed any classes, even if there was a snowstorm outside. I would recommend mostly students who have worked 1-2 years in industry and have knowledge of what they would like to learn more about. This helps them get a better understanding overall during Master's and also will be job ready at the end of 2 years. If someone has just finished a bachelor's and wants to come, then I would rather ask them to try to make as many industry connections during the 2 years as possible. It is very difficult for them to find jobs.
Likes (Indian Food): Many good Indian restaurants, and I would rather cook myself and with my friends. There are multicultural restaurants in the city of Gothenburg. But it will be expensive. It is always good to have one or two meals outside in a month, but not more than that.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I have had a great experience at the university with excellent faculty and study programs. I thoroughly enjoyed studying as someone who was really interested in Electric vehicles and how they are built. But due to the current bad situation in the job market with the automotive industry struggling to even keep their regular coffee machines, they do not want to hire fresh graduates as they think of them as a liability rather than an asset at the moment. Hopefully, it'll be better by 2027-2028. Most of the jobs offered are Test engineering jobs or verification engineering jobs. These are taken by more experienced engineers naturally. If lucky, you can get graduate engineering roles in some companies like Volvo, Sandvik, etc. But that is rare and more difficult. You could be the best of the lot, but still, they wouldn't select you, because they want to fill their diversity quotas.

MSc Mobility Engineering - Batch of 2024
4.3
Outstanding for learning future tech, industry exposure and very friendly professors.
Tips: The university is really good for learning and getting a taste of trending technology. Focus towards making connections with professors and industry people, who will help in understanding the job market after graduation. The university also has a very happening life, with student parties every month, trips to beautiful cities and a chance to see the northern light, a very sustainable approach to everything and a very friendly environment. Things can get challenging after graduation, as the college is not responsible for placing you; the student will have to make extra efforts by reaching out to recruiters on LinkedIn, attending job fairs, etc. To secure a job, most of the Swedes speak good English but learning Swedish is highly recommended to increase your chances of getting a job and better integrate with the natives.
Likes (Value for money): The teaching and the facilities in the university are excellent. They partner with the leading companies to make the projects and learning of students very industry ready. The professors are very friendly. You can also clear your doubts with them. Most of the projects are based on current and upcoming technologies, so this makes the student future ready. The campus also hosts a lot of fun events every week, including painting, dancing and personal development sessions but of course, they are paid. All departments also have their own well-equipped study rooms, party clubs and cafes, which let the student balance their academics with chill out sessions. The city is excellently planned, very clean and beautiful and it's mostly less crowded and well maintained.
Dislikes (Part time work): The number of part time jobs on campus was low at the time of my study. The Swedish language is a must to get a part time job. In winters, the weather gets very harsh with temperatures even dropping below -15 deg C, so delivery jobs are very tough. Also, during winters, the icing on the roads makes it very difficult for students working as delivery agents to commute or control their vehicles.

MSc Structural Engineering and Building Technology - Batch of 2020
4.1
The university provides valuable real-world insights into building design and sustainability.
Tips: Try to understand their interest and plan for what comes after completing the course. There is plenty of competition limited job opportunity and you need to wait for a longer period and the salary is decent. Having some experience before heading for education helps them get a job early.

MSc Complex Adaptive Systems - Batch of 2024

Great research facilities, excellent faculties, and a beautiful city.
Tips: Come with an open mindset to learn the courses you want to master. Only opt if you either get a scholarship or have enough money saved to manage financially post-studies. Get some work experience in your country before thinking of a Master as it will help you understand what you wanna specialize in and it will also help you land a job easily. People thinking of opting Master's abroad paying a high tuition fee and with no experience taking up a generalised course will find it hard to land a job considering the market. Being wise is very important before making the choice of your career.
Likes (Safety): Public transportation is available round the clock. No signs of sketchy activities were observed in and around the campus area. Mugging is something that never happens in central areas. Traveling alone would not be scary for new people at any odd time.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The job market is getting niche in Europe now especially in Scandinavian countries. The courses are more specific and research-oriented. Also their immigration laws and work visa regulations have become stringent to cater local workforce properly.

MSc Supply Chain Management - Batch of 2024
3.9
The university conducts fun, recreational and educational fairs, for students to socialize.
Tips: Before joining, students should be aware of the course syllabus and the prerequisites. Prepare mentally to accustom to the weather conditions. The university was fun, and it was a great decision to come here and study and explore. Every sessions were practical and engaging and the staffs were also super- friendly. The university conducts recreational fairs, educational fairs, and fun events. And the university also gives students plenty of time and breaks before their exams start. Assignments are done in groups, which allows us to interact with people from all over the world. This also exposes students to a wider range of options. Overall, I am highly satisfied with the course, country and the university.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Most of the restaurants in this town are Western style. You can find some Indian places, but the price isn't worth it. After tasting the food here, you'll probably miss what you're used to eating back home. But the restaurants are definitely a big plus. Grocery stores have everything that you need from back home.

MSc Product Development - Batch of 2024
3.6
Blossoming journey in this struggling world.
Tips: The market is really bad. Consider multiple things while relating to Sweden. Be clear if you are considering a Master's as a bridge to get into the Swedish market. There would be many sacrifices and you are the one doing everything. So never ever close the hope.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculty are so humble and knowledgeable, with really useful experiences. You can contact them at any point in your Master's and they are more than happy to answer your queries. Teaching methodology is more interactive and assignments based rather than listening to monologues and reading repetitive questions for exams.
Dislikes (Part time work): There are very limited part time options on campus. And for every other part time you either need a driver's licence or know Swedish or both. Only possible part time jobs are food delivery and restaurant helper jobs. It's kind of impossible to find a technical part time job or anything related to your education.
