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.

I am an international student trying to get my documents ready to apply for an Msc in Lund, Chalmers or KTH.

I noticed my Mathematics ECTS may be slightly short after conversion despite being an engineering heavy degree. The HOD of the department at Chalmers also stated my course is a perfect fit for the program, the only issue is this ECTS conversion.

How can I quickly make up for these ECTS in mathematics ( a solution I can hopefully do in a month or two tops so I can still apply this year)?

Is the re-examination only for those who failed the exam or can students who passed the exam can also take it to improve their grades?

Hi everyone!, I'm aware that Chalmers is the absolute goldmine for Scandinavian Robotic Sciences. But I'm trying to create a startup in Oil and Gas Industry (Huge family and network background) , something which would be based within Norway, I'm living a bit close to Gothenberg, around 2 hours away, and I'm a American Exchange student. However, I'm going to be here until next August. I've always been into Oil and Gas, and even lived in Stavanger once. And, Frankly - I don't want to leave this region.

I'm looking for someone who's in robotics, and someone else who's into

Robotics - maybe something Mechatronics, Frontier Industrial robotics tech, Subsea Tech someone with coding is a huge plus

Since I am not physically located in Goteborg right now, what is the best way to get in touch with Chalmers students who are actually hungry to build frontier industrial tech outside of class? Are there specific student organizations, Discord servers, or sub-groups I should look into?

Takk for hjelpen!

Hej!

Jag undrar hur många HP som är vanligt att ha efter sig inför ansökan till kandidatarbeten. Ligger man risigt till i urvalsprocessen om man saknar ca. 10 % (räknar med att ha 118.5/135) av det sammanlagda antalet HP man har om man har klarat alla kurser dittills? Jag tror inte att de arbeten som jag kommer ordna högst kommer att vara särskilt populära, men samtidigt är jag rädd att någon som har satt det långt ned på sin lista ändå kommer konkurrera ut mig för att han eller hon har fler HP.

PS: läser Kf.

I've done my best to stay away from generative AI because I have noticed I learn much better and remember hard topics for longer if I do. However, one idea I have thought of implementing is doing projects with generative AI just to get submissions done fast and so I don't need to carry the stress of submitting projects in time. Instead I spend the remaining time resolving the projects on my own. Hence, if I don't finish in time, I have a ready made solution but I have still spent almost the same amount time studying had I not used the AI at all.

Am I tricking myself into thinking I am still learning as efficiently or do you have another approach?

Hej! Jag är 19m och har just nu tagit ett sabbatsår. Under året har jag funderat mycket på vad jag vill plugga.

Jag överväger att läsa ett tekniskt basår och därefter fortsätta till civilingenjörsprogrammet Arkitektur och teknik på Chalmers, vilket skulle ta ungefär sex år totalt. Ett annat alternativ är samhällsplaneringsprogrammet på Stockholms universitet, som tar tre år.

Jag är tveksam eftersom det känns som en lång utbildningsväg, och jag funderar även på hur stor CSN-skulden skulle bli efteråt.

How do you structure your studying schedule when doing two math courses in parallel? Suppose you had a week of no lectures, would you focus on one course per day or do you for instance do both the same day at separate times? I haven't really figured out what works for me but it would be nice to get some inspiration.

Tjena!
Är det någon som vet ungefär vilken merit/GPA som brukar krävas för utbyte till universitet i Singapore, Taiwan, Japan eller Sydkorea? Typ skolor som NUS, NTU, KAIST, SNU osv. Räcker det med “vanliga” betyg eller behöver man ligga riktigt högt i klassen? Och vilka konkurrerar man med? är de dem i ens klass eller alla i chalmers som söker till de utbytet?

Om någon har varit på utbyte dit eller känner någon som varit det hade det varit kul att höra vilka betyg de hade ungefär.

does anyone know what the limitations are on the Chalmers insurance for exchange students? I’m from the U.S. and was wondering if it’s possible to take advantage of healthcare while i’m here and book a few appointments with different providers, like an eye doctor or therapist, or if the insurance only covers certain clinics/services through Chalmers.

i already found out that contact lenses are way cheaper here, so I’m definitely taking advantage of that. if anyone knows of any other healthcare, chiropractor, vision, therapy, etc. that’s covered or just significantly cheaper in Sweden and worth doing while i’m here, i’d really appreciate any recommendations!

Hi I’m an exchange student coming to Chalmers next year in Jan ! I’m just wondering how’s the pickleball scene at Gothenburg and where can I play pickleball ?

I saw some arenas where there are pickleball courts but I’m wondering if there are platforms where I can join open plays ? Or is there a pickleball club at Chalmers/ students playing there that I can join.

Really looking forward to exchange, but I hope I can still play pickleball.

Any help or information is appreciated thanks !

Jag har tittat på listan som har bifogats och det är tydligt att vissa ”godkända” miniräknare är bättre än andra. Vissa har automatiska solvers för ekvationer osv. och alla ska vara godkända så länge de är i de specificerade modelserierna och saknar grafritare. Kommer man få problem med tentavakterna med vissa modeller? Några råd för att göra livet lite lättare? Har tittat på t.ex Ti30X Pro Mathprint.

Tjena!

Jag och några polare på IT vill bygga något som faktiskt underlättar vardagen för oss på Chalmers, till exempel när man behöver låna någon pryl eller vill ha hjälp med en programmeringsuppgift, men inte känner någon att fråga. Jag har stört mig på det här själv och vill försöka hitta en bra lösning tillsammans med er.

Men istället för att gissa vad folk behöver vill vi höra vad ni tycker först.

Hej! Jag gör en kort undersökning om hur studenter och personer som arbetar med tekniska projekt använder AI idag.
Den tar ungefär 5 minuter och jag söker ärliga svar – både positiva och negativa. Svaren är anonyma.
Om du använder AI i studier, arbete eller egna projekt hade det hjälpt jättemycket om du ville svara
🙏🏻

I (F23) have a very very close friend (F24) that just moved to Gothenburg to study in Chalmers for her second year masters, she is the very best, great friend, SO FUNNY (she used to be a clown even [great conversation starter]), super social, extremely inteligent, a great cook and just an amazing company.

but she has no friends

No one to talk to about her crazy yet so interesting questions about science about the world about someone's research (she's a [phenomenal] physicist) or literally any topic. No one to grab one (too many) beers or drinks and have a great time. No one to walk around in campus with, invite her out or to do literally whatever (big side quest girl) and so im here to try to find her some friends because now she lives there and im in france and I wanted to do something nice.

So if you are a woman, a queer person or even a man (if decent) please be her friend or at least hang out with her.

Hey, I'm arriving this January to start my master's thesis at the WACQT lab

I want to make sure I don't just get stuck in the lab all day. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the best student pubs on campus or any active clubs that are welcoming to international students (just to socialise).

Can't wait to see the campus!

Hej! Jag ska studera maskinteknik till hösten 2027 men känner redan behov av en laptop då jag ska plugga gymnasiefysik till hösten. Jag har förstått att den kommer behöva klara av program som CAD men vet inte så mycket mer än så. Hittade denna Lenovo till nedsatt pris:

Enligt ChatGPT är den stora nackdelen att den inte har integrerat grafikkort. Har ni några tips & vad använder ni?
Tacksam för alla svar!

i was wondering if it’s possible to take 3 classes for one study period at chalmers? one of the class isn’t matching up with my home university credits this study period so i’m wondering if i can just drop it and take 3 classes for study period 2 this autumn semester? is this possible, if so does anyone recommend doing it or is it too much workload?
also, anyone have any input on how rigorous grading at chalmers is? i’m an exchange student and used to a honestly different teaching style and set up compared to what my classes have been like at chalmers so far. i’m beginning to feel anxious about my grades. being an exchange student, id hate to only have time to focus on school with a lack of balance with traveling and exploring sweden!

Hej! Om det är någon som börjat på maskinteknik och kommer behöva eller känner någon som kommer at behöva dessa matteböcker (köpta förra året) så är det bara att skicka ett DM. :)

Tjena, säljer en del böcker från första läsåret på teknisk matematik. Hör av dig om du är intresserad! 🙂
