The BTH experience has been really good as the courses
displayed gave me a high quality of new skill. The Project
Management and Quality Management courses will influence
my future career as I discovered an area which particulary
interest me. The exchange students are warmly welcome
in this University and the welcoming program is excellen
(integration week, organized trips, etc.). I must admit
I met many people from different countries (Holland,
Germany, Switzerland, Finland, etc.), and they became
some of my best friends. Sweden, Danemark, Norway and
Finland are ones of the most beautiful european countries.
I advice you to visit them. The environment is really
good in these countries and especially to study there,
doing your master in scandiavia is a really good as
the submission fees are free this region.
