In 1975 Sweden’s sixth university was founded in Linköping. Since then Linköping University (LiU) has grown considerably, expanding to Norrköping and Stockholm. With around 36000 students and 4300 employees spread across 4 campuses, Linköping University ranks among top 2% universities of the world.

Here are my top 4 reasons, why I chose to study at Linköping University:

  1. Quality of Education
    In general Swedish universities are ranked very high in their academic excellence. Studying in Sweden is different from studying in other countries because Swedish universities have an open climate with a strong focus on group work. The Swedish education system focuses more on your academic interests than pushing you to achieve a grade. LiU being one of the best universities of Sweden, offers 30 international programmes, in various subject areas. Most of the master’s programmes are 2 years long and count for 120 credits (ECTS). LiU also offers one international bachelor programme taught in English.
  2. Concept of Periods
    One of the best part of studying here, I felt was the concept of periods. Basically a semester is divided into 2 periods(around 2 months each). We get to study 2-3 courses every period and then we have an exam(depends on Program) after each period. Post exam, we start the next period. On a regular semester where we study for around 5 months, exam period becomes very stressful, while with this concept we focus on fewer number of subject for a smaller period of time.
  3. Student Life
    Linköping has been awarded with best student life in Sweden multiple times. With so many student associations and great student traditions, LiU stands best in student life. There is always something going on for students to participate. This creates a great environment for students to know each other and grow both personally and professionally.
  4. International Environment
    LiU attracts students from all over the globe. There are around 2500 international students at LiU. This opens new horizons for students to experience so many different cultures. With so many international students, it is very English friendly. LiU also offers single-subject master’s and bachelor level courses, exchange studies and even doctoral studies in English as well. For students who wish to learn to be able to study at university in Swedish, there is a Swedish qualifying course available.
