Dear All,

Asalam'O Alaikum, I want to have your kind suggestions and guidance. I got an
offer from Chalmers for MS in Software Engineering. I want to ask following
questions.

1- What is the level of study at Chalmers in this area?

2- I got 75% fee waiver as they introduce fees now. But I want more reduction
because I can only support my other expenses in Sweden. I can not pay the fee. I
read that the grant can be up to 85% of the fee and I requested them to do. Are
there any more resources or areas from which I can get help in reducing this
financial burden of paying fee?

3- Please note that, I have done BE in IT and I also have an offer of Assistant
Manager post in some defense organization of Pakistan in Grade 17. Would you
people still suggest that I should come? As I heard that there are no jobs in
Sweden in any field. I heard this from almost a dozen people who study there.

4- Guys whom did Software Engineering can guide me much better as I will be
doing the same. One thing to notice that Chalmers inaugurated Software Center at
Lindholmen campus with the collaboration of Ericson,Volvo and Saab group, would
it create more opportunities for Software Engineers. I am concerned about good
job opportunities.

Please help me out. Thanking you all people in advance.

Mubashir Iqbal

Dear Ibrahim,

Yes, you are right that job conditions in Germany are much better. But the
problem is I got admission in Chalmers :). I can switch there after doing MS and
then do job or PhD there.

Job prospects may be good in Sweden after graduation but they are for sure
better in Germany.

Would you people still suggest that I should come? As I heard that there are no

thesis level as companies hunt students during their final year by offering paid
thesis and a potential source for more job opportunities.

> The good job opportunities depends on your networking skills and ability to
socialize with academia/industry....be more involved in the student union
activities, the have paid positions for students and also they keep on arranging
workshops/seminars with the companies, you teachers are also a good source who
invite people from industry for guest lectures...& also depends on how active
you are in job hunt...chalmers provides career service as well to its students 
https://student.portal.chalmers.se/sv/karriar-jobb/Careers-Service/Sidor/careers\
.aspx where you can see the job posting else you can also check regularly the
job opportunities at the companies websites...I would advice you if you decide
to come to rigorously search for part-time IT job as companies also offer part
time work for students especially the startups & midsized companies.

language it definitely limits your options so the the first you do if you come
is get started with the language, Chalmers provides language courses to its
International students ..watch out for that and also there are numerous other
ways that can help you learn the language once you reach here.

> I did my Masters in Software Engineering from Chalmers in year 2011.  I have
returned to Pakistan after that not because I did not have job opportunities but
because my family is in Pakistan.  Chalmers is a great place to learn and
enhance your skills.  People who have IT skills generally find a job. 
Collaboration of Chalmers with Ericsson, Volvo etc is a positve initiative for
students.  If you can overcome your financial problems like payment of 15% of
remianing fee, which I think still is nominal as compared to quality of
education provided then I suggest in Chalmers is a great place.

> Hopefully more people will reply to your e-mail on getting job, I remember
some students even had manual jobs for time being.  You can check  with
companies as a student to hire you if you have some IT skills.  Do browse
through www.thelocal.se and see their Job advertisement to have an idea of
skills.

Hi dudes!

Here is a link for us international PhD students' residence permit. Please
support it by signing yourself. It says that if there are more than 4000
students asking for this, the government will consider the issue in a more
serious way. So, it will be nice if you can tell your doctoral friends ; )

All the best, Jia
