Write your study report

If you have studied abroad within a USBE agreement we ask you to write a study report and send it to studyabroad.usbe@umu.se. We will then publish your report on the study reports-website, given your permission of course.

Your study report should be in the form of essay and approximately 2 pages and contain information that will help future students to plan their studies.

For example the report could contain the following information:

General Information

Your name, name of host university, period of exchange, e-mail address and possibly your phone number (if you wish to answer questions from students).

Before departure

What should you arrange beforehand, what should you bring, advice for arranging accommodation etc.

Arriving at the university

How is the welcome arranged, is there a 'buddy system', start of the semester etc.

Practical issues

How do you pay your rent, how is the medical care, do you need to open a bank account etc.

Studies

How are the studies? (quality of teachers, lectures, group assignments, cases etc.), how is a typical day?, what courses/teachers do you recommend? A good idea is to list your courses and mention something about each one of them. How are the studies compared to those at USBE?
Finances
How did you do financially, what did you spend money on? How big is the cost of living?
Your overall experience
What did you think about your exchange semester? Are you happy with your exchange and is there something that you would have done differently?
Other
What is your opinion of the city? How was the student life (sports, entertainment etc), did you experience any language barriers? How well did you manage to live on the funds that you had?
