Study abroad as an engineer?

<p>Would it be feasible for an engineer to study at, say, Lund University in Sweden? Or is engineering not a course for studying abroad?</p>

<p>I am not sure about sweden but I am currently studying abroad in Australia… University of Western Australia and it has really opened my eyes to the world. I feel like I will come back (June 26th of this year I’ll head home) a change person. I have learned so much more than what I could if I remained at my university. I am studying electrical engineering btw. I can’t recommend going abroad enough… it is the best experience you’ll have in your degree, IMHO.</p>

<p>I would also like to know this… I have been looking into it and haven’t been able to find much. How much did it cost you and did you do it through your school? (Did you get financial aid)</p>

<p>I don’t want to go through my University, (UW Madison) as I know I can go through a different program for a lot less money than I am paying now to attend there as an OOS student.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Thank you for this. My son has scholarship money to study abroad, and I really want him to do this. However, he only wants to give up his summer if it’s related to engineering. For instance, there’s a great program in Oxford that his university does that I would love for him to attend, but it’s focused on English lit and theater, so he’s not interested. Son prefers an English speaking country, though I may be able to talk him into the Scandinavian countries.</p>

<p>Studying abroad is quite a challenge. It does not only take perseverance but patience as well to adjust with the people around and with the surrounding.</p>

<p>The other aspect to consider is the travel documents like passports and visas. You have to make sure that everything is fixed.</p>
