Some voices about being an international PHD student at LU

The number of international PhD students is increasing at Lund University. They might experience  some  problems  in  relation  to  social  and  cultural  aspects  and  the  way information is accessed. This could also have consequences for their PhD dissertation work.  This  study  aimed  at  giving  voice  to  some  international  PhD  students  to  get  a glimpse of how they perceive their situation regarding the above aspects. Although the interviewed PhD students seemed to be quite satisfied with their situation it is obvious that more can be done in relation to how they are introduced to the University, Swedish culture and practical matters.
