Uppsala University - Campus Gotland is at the forefront of wind power project management education. While taking the programme, you will be able to enjoy everything the historic town of Visby and the island of Gotland have to offer.
It has a unique natural environment and is the centre of early Swedish wind power development. There are frequent flights and ferries between Gotland and Sweden's capital Stockholm, so getting to and from the island is easy.
The programme leads to a Master of Science credits with Sustainable Destination Development as the main field of study. How did you choose your programme? I had my options narrowed down to universities in the Netherlands and Scandinavia.
I knew that I had to apply immediately. What is it like to be an international student? It is a mixture of excitement and stress. It is quite rewarding being a foreigner in a new country because I get to know and learn new things not only at the university and in the classes, but also about the culture, language, and the people I get to interact with. On the other side of the coin, it can also be very stressful, especially when it comes to administrative processes, such as enrolling in classes, getting student housing and so on.
However, when I look back I think of all of those experiences as part of my learning and adjustment to Swedish society. What is the best thing about studying at Uppsala University?
I get to interact with my fellow students very often and that makes working with them much easier, also teachers are much more accessible and that means I can ask questions and talk to them in a more relaxing environment. I like how open the education system is at Uppsala University, there are not strict demarcations between students and teachers. I feel my opinion matters and I can work together with my teachers to get the best out of my programme.
How did you experience your first few days in Sweden? It was a mixture of all kinds of feelings. Therefore it was quite nerve wrecking having to quit my job to move along with my dog yes, I brought my dog all the way from Mexico to a new country to study.
As soon as I arrived in Sweden, I felt a sense of relief and happiness of finally being here after more than a year of planning. That sense of calmness lasted a few days, until I had to worry about applying for my personal number, opening a bank account and registering for classes.
Luckily for me, since I already had Swedish friends, I was able to accomplish all my tasks fairly easily with their help. Then at noon, I would go to the university cafeteria to have lunch and socialise with my friends. After lunch, we would head back to class until or so. Once done with school, I would take a walk through town or along the beach just to relax a bit.
Then I would head back home. On the way I would stop by the supermarket to buy something to cook for dinner. Since most of my classes had to move to an online option, instead of having to prepare myself to go to the university in the morning, I have to make sure I have a suitable space at my place to start taking my classes.
One of the things I like about the programme is that we are a very heterogeneous group of mostly international students. We all have varied backgrounds and ages. It is very rewarding to have discussions and talk about our classes with people who have different perspectives from mine. I think I have learned a lot by just listening to what other people have to say. How would you describe the relationship between you and your teachers at the University?
I like the opportunity that I can talk to them not only about my classes but also about my plans and expectations. I have been my class representative, so I act as a liaison between the students and the teachers.
This has given me the possibility to interact directly with them in my programme and understand how they plan things and execute them. Being part of this type of interaction has made me feel like my ideas and those of my fellow classmates matter in the development of our courses.
How is your student life and what is your best experience so far? Being able to be part of an active community of students that care about environmental and social causes is the best part of my student life. As part of my class, I have the chance to interact with a varied group of people and form strong relationships with them.
I was able to organise a trip to Denmark with some of my classmates, where we attended a conference related to sustainable tourism. Specific examples of job positions that our students acquire include energy and climate advisors, sustainable project managers, environmental coordinators, sustainability analysts, environmental communications officers, and doctoral students.
