Minh Huyen Do Thi, Vietnam, Electronics

Why did you apply for Mid Sweden University?
I learned about Mid Sweden University 3 years ago when I went to Östersund for my summer vacation. This university is well-known for its Electronics programme and I am really interested in technology, electronics, how machine structure look like and so on. I want to gain further knowledge in the field I am interested in.

What is it like to study a Bachelor in Electronics?
Electronics is a challenging field to study, it is hard but when you understand the problems, it becomes interesting!

What do you think about Mid Sweden University?
It is a very good university, well organized and has a pleasant study environment. For electronics students, it has good facilities to do lab work. I feel very well treated by the teachers and the staff.

What is student life in Sundsvall like?
I’ve been here more than a year and I can say that student life here is very exciting with a lot of activities and events that students enjoy. The student life also gives me the opportunity to get to know other students from different countries.
Sundsvall is a beautiful, old and peaceful town. And, which is great for an international student like me, this town has several places where I can go and I can learn to ski in the winter.

What does a typical week look like?
At university, I go to lectures, read or do lab work. At the weekend I stay at home, cook a good meal and call my parents in Vietnam. Sometime I come to the university even at the weekend to get me in the study mood and it works, I study more focused! That is a typical week for electronics students.

What would you like to do after graduating?
This is the second year of this programme but I am thinking of going deeper into the field of electronics design and reach a master level after finish the bachelor programme at Mid Sweden University.
