LTU campus
The campus of LTU is located in Lulea. This is a fairly large city that opens up many opportunities for students: from cafes, restaurants and other entertainment to internships at large companies. But an urban campus can also be a disadvantage, because big city life distracts some students from their studies. The university has a library, in the collection of which you will find not only textbooks and scientific works, but also works of the classics, modern literature and much more. The exchange of intercultural experience occupies a special place in training at LTU. The educational institution regularly invites foreign students to participate in exchange programs and organizes various joint events.
After graduation, you can stay in Sweden for another year. You can do this by extending your student visa or applying for a job search visa. We talk about other options for immigration in our article.
