Can you tell us a bit about your background?

- I came to Stockholm University as an exchange student from Jilin University, China, where I am majoring in Finance. I am currently taking courses in Financial Accounting, Corporate Finance and Business.

Why did you choose to study at the School of Business here in Sweden?

- I have been curious about European countries since a young age. When choosing an exchange programme, I therefore immediately thought of Europe as a destination. As Sweden has an outstanding reputation in international education and the School of Business is said to be one of the best business schools in Northern Europe, I felt Stockholm University would be a great choice.

How are you finding it so far?

- I’ve taken several courses at the School of Business and experienced a new teaching model. The education system here is quite different from China’s. Instead of taking all of a semester’s courses simultaneously, we take one course at the time, which allows me to fully concentrate on one subject. I really prefer this way of studying and I have learned more from each course and during the semester overall. My professors have also been very inspiring and helpful.

While travelling around during our period breaks, I find myself continually amazed by this mysterious country. I love Sweden a lot, the people are really nice and the scenery beautiful.

What do you think is the main strength of the School of Business?

- The School of Business provides us students with many opportunities in different areas.  Students here are creative and the professors are inspiring. I love courses with seminars, as lectures teach us knowledge while seminars give us a chance to reflect on how we learn.

Do you have any advice to give to students who are thinking about studies in Sweden?

- Just enjoy it!  Enjoy all the lectures and seminars, even exams; enjoy all the activities held by the Senior Buddy Programme; and enjoy the longest winter and brightest summer!
