Leisure time and social activities

I like the activities organized by global friends, which strengthen the bonding between exchange students and local students.

Pre-departure

I would like to experience a different learning environment. A friend recommended this school by introducing some of the research and seminar provided and I think this is something i would like to try. 

Some information provided are good, however, it takes some time to find out the course information.

Courses during the exchange period

BIOX07 : BACH - Neuroscience
I think the first half of this course is have much more free time, but the second part have less free time to rest. If the topics could be evenly spread out, it would be better. The practical class is a good place of learning, can increase more time on this part. This course is relevant to my degree.
BIOX09 : BACH - Pharmacology and Toxicology
The practical class is a good place of learning, can increase more time on this part. This course is relevant to my degree. The last part where many teacher from industry come to give a class is very helpful. After that, we still got a chance to visit Astra Zeneca.
BIOX10 : BACH - Biostatistics
I hope to learn more in this course. Anyway, it is relevant to my degree.
BIOX08 : BACH - Tissue Biology
I think this is a very interesting course, where we could learn how to diferenciate the tissues. It is very useful.

Language and Culture

The course is useful to learn some basic Swedish, however, it is still some distance away to be able to communicate in Swedish. Reading is not a problem.

Studies in general

Full time students are very hardworking, it is a lifely classroom where teacher and students interact with each other. Practical class is very related to theory class, my home university do not provide that much practical class. I thing practical class is a different way of learning, which directly relate topics in theory class. 

In addition, PBL is also a good way for self-based learning, which what my home university lack of.

I learned some of the clinical procedure for tissue biology course, but not very clear about it. I wish I could have more time on this part.
