My name is Maria and I am an international student in Stockholm, Sweden. I travelled to Sweden from Athens, Greece, to study biomedicine at the Karolinska Institute. I chose this degree at this place because it is one of the best 50 universities in the world for life sciences.
The Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) is focused on natural and environmental sciences. This focus also creates a hub for researchers and students that share similar interests.
For me, it has been thrilling to meet students from different nationalities and programs who are also motivated by science and its potential to make agriculture and forestry more sustainable.
