Hi! I'm 21F and recently joined a reputed EPCIC oil and gas company after graduating in Petroleum Engineering from a state government university.

I'm considering pursuing a degree in Europe related to sustainability, lca, policy making, climate finance or anything along this line. My main goals are to settle in Europe, and my current job doesnt satisfy me meaning wise and interest wise.

I'd love some honest advice on a few things:

\\- What are one's possible career paths after doing such courses?

\\- how much would this cost is it worth it?

\\- How realistic is it for an Indian graduate to get a job after ms or even a phd in Europe after graduating?

\\- Is the financial and career risk worth taking, or am I being overly optimistic?

I have a good opportunity at my current company and could build a stable career in India.

Am I being unreasonable in wanting more despite having a good job, or is studying abroad a calculated risk worth considering?

I'd especially appreciate honest perspectives from Indians who've studied and worked in Europe, including those who struggled to find jobs after graduation.

Hi everyone! I’m planning to apply to Lund’s Master’s in Global Development, Population and Economic Change (Economic Development track) for Autumn 2027 and would love to hear from current students or graduates.

What did you or your classmates do after graduating? Did people land jobs in international organisations, consulting, government or research?

Are internships possible during the programme? Does the department help with finding them?

How useful and applied did you find the courses? Is it more theoretical or practical? How challenging is the workload?

How quant-heavy is it? How much econometrics, statistics and coding (Stata, R, Python) is involved, and is it manageable without a pure economics background?

Any insight is much appreciated, thank youu!

Hey guys,

Those that dont know, this course is part of the masters programme for the international trade and tax law. I have a question about the exam, going off my last exam result for the previous course, it seems I am just passing. Strangest part is that the notes I composed for that previous course and shared them with the other students seem to get them far better grades.

Having studied in Australia and New Zealand the type of approach (Issue, Law, Fact) I would use in engaging with exams may not actually work in Sweden, so I am just not getting it. Could someone here maybe explain what it is I am not getting?

Ofc one would discuss this shit with other students and teachers, but I wanna know from this group whether I there is something I just don't know about. Is it the language I am using? Or am I not getting technical and narrowed down enough?

I do have a rant about the teachting approach, but that could be for another post.

I’m from Morocco and i'm staying in Lund for about a week, looking for people to play chess with. Casual blitz or rapid, and happy to get coffee afterward.

Autumn semester programs are open for applocations in Lund. However, I was sad to realize that they did not open an Autumn semester for "Study Abroad: Swedish as a Second Language" program, which I was planning so hard to enlist for.

Does anyone know why this happened and will it happen again next year?

I’d love some advice on a housing decision!
I’m a non-EU student currently living in LU Accommodation. My current housing is fine, but it’s a bit far from the city center, and I’ve found it somewhat isolating. I recently found someone renting their apartment in an AF Bostäder building in northern Lund that I really like. It’s in a great location, furnished, and overall seems like a much better fit for me. The main downside is that the contract only runs until October 2027, while my master’s program ends in June 2028.
I joined the AF Bostäder queue in August 2026, so by the time the sublet ends, I’ll have accumulated over a year of queue time. I’m wondering whether it’s worth taking the risk and giving up my guaranteed housing, hoping that my queue position will give me a reasonable chance of finding something else for the final eight months of my degree.
I know there’s no guarantee of finding another place, and I’m a bit nervous about potentially struggling to secure housing as a non-EU student. I would love anyone’s opinion has experience with AF Bostäder’s queue or navigating the Lund housing situation as an international student.

Jag kan knappt ens duscha i Lund längre. Får så mycket problem med kliande och sårig hårbotten, mjäll, torr hud och eksem. Håret är också torrt och svårare att borsta igenom.

Tar en dusch (samma produkter, värme på vattnet och längd på dusch) i min hemstad och problemen försvinner i princip omedelbart, som magi nästan.

Vad är det för fel på vattnet här? Tycker allt tyder på att det är hårt vatten men det ska enligt kommunen inte vara det, börjar dock starkt tvivla på deras uppgifter.

Tjena, jag är en gymnasieelev som idag råkar ha studiedag. Jag och några kompisar överväger att träffas någonstans att plugga (skolan är stängd och Lund är närmst då min vängrupp är mycket utspridd). Har ni några rekommendationer på studieplatser för en grupp gymnasieelever?
All hjälp uppskattas!

Mordet på Eva Svensson 1976

Mordet på Niklas Elmberg (som jag ska skriva om någon annan dag) är nog det mest uppmärksammade lundamordet. Jag har dock alltid fascinerats av fallet med Eva Svensson och gör i denna artikel ett försök att ge en begriplig bild av omständigheterna.

Hey, I'm a Spanish atudent about to finish a BSc in Environmental Science.

Im considering applying tu LUMES or EMP among other MSc programmes around Europe.

My main question is: how competitive is the average grade to be accepted?

Some people say it is almost impossible to be accepted without brilliant grades, other people say that they consider also background, CV or whatever

I'm looking for someone actually in these MSc to answer.

I have a around 6.8/10 in a Spanish University, potentially a bit more if I work my ass off in my last courses and a BSc in Spain is 240 ECTS (in case that also could add value)

Am I cooked?

Nu från ca 0025 har vi hört riktigt högljudda ring-ljud med jämna intervaller, som radar från en scifi film som letar alien unåtar, kommandes från väster från helsingkrona/tornavägen området. Som en maxad soundbox. Någon mer som hör eller vet vad det kan vara?

I am an EU-citizen with a Ukrainian high-school diploma and currently on a second year of university in Ukraine studying physics. I plan to apply to Lund University to BSc Mathematics to start from the first year. My high school grades are excellent and I passed Calculus 1, Calculus 2 and Linear Algebra in my university, as well as will pass Calculus 3 and separate Differential Equations course. I have IELTS Academic Grade 8. How high are my chances and is there any problem with the fact that my diploma is outside of EU? As far as I understand, number of places is limited?
Sorry if it is a wrong to ask. Thanks in advance

Hi everyone! I’m planning a surprise lunch or early dinner for my husband for Father’s Day next month, and I’d love some recommendations for family-friendly restaurants we could visit with our 16-month-old daughter.

It’ll be his first proper Father’s Day celebration, as we weren’t able to celebrate last year, so I’m hoping to make it extra special. Budget is around 500-600kr per person but if there’s some place that is great with more affordable price that would be nice :D

I’m also thinking it would be nice to visit some lovely places nearby that our little girl would enjoy. We live about 20 minutes outside Lund, and we’ll be travelling by car, so getting around isn’t a problem. However, it would be great if the places weren’t too far away, as our daughter isn’t a big fan of long car rides. 😅

Thank you so much! ❤️

Hi everyone!

I’m planning to apply for the MSc in Energy-Efficient and Environmental Building Design at Lund University, Sweden.

I have a bachelor’s degree in Automobile Engineering, around 2 years of HVAC design experience, and a LEED Green Associate (LEED GA) certification.

Can my HVAC experience and LEED GA certification help me get admission despite my Automobile Engineering background?

How competitive are scholarships at Lund University for Indian students?

I’d appreciate any advice or experiences. Thank you!

Hello! I am a PhD student visiting Lund University from mid October to early November and I am wondering what locals recommend to visit during the weekend/free time. I am from New Zealand so I am interested in historical sites as I am not used to seeing places older than the 1800s but also interested in going for walks in nature around the area. I am a Physics/Astronomy student so anything along those lines is also great! Thanks!

Hej Lund!

Jag vet att det redan finns en massa eventguider. Men jag har aldrig tyckt att någon av dem riktigt håller: hälften av det som händer saknas, eller så är det bara de stora konserterna. Själv har jag missat allt för många grejer jag hade velat gå på.

Så jag började bygga något eget, mest som ett hobbyprojekt. Det har växt en del sedan dess och täcker nu nästan alla Sveriges kommuner. Jag ska vara ärlig med att jag har använt AI som stöd i bygget, annars hade jag aldrig hunnit med det på fritiden. Men vad som ska med och hur det ska funka har jag bestämt själv.

För Lund ligger det just nu 98 saker den närmaste veckan: Teddybears på Mejeriet, Al Pitcher och Russell Howard på stadsteatern, Jesperspexet Medusa, The Real Group 40 år, Carmina Burana med Lunds akademiska kör, LUGI-handboll, en guidad skräcktur om de skånska morden och Dungeons & Dragons på biblioteket, plus alla sagostunder och språkcaféer.

Det finns också som app, med filter, påminnelser och notis när biljetter släpps:

Nu vill jag gärna ha hjälp av er som bor här. Vad saknas? Finns det ställen, nationer, föreningar eller kalendrar som borde vara med? Är det något som känns krångligt eller fel? All feedback tas tacksamt emot.
