- More on plant science» (?)
- nano/micro fluidic» (?)
- The subjects are fine but I would likto ask you people that there should be a subject that will link the program with the industry.What I mean is, there should be a project course of one quarter for all the students of MPCOM that have to be done in close collaboration with Ericsson.It will give a real practical experiance. Another thing I like to add here and This is my own experience, I have been applying for Master thesis in companies and where ever I apply their main requirements were C++ or java or VHDL or SystemC or Python or combination of these. Becuase industries dont work on MATLAB.It is only used by universities to model a system but when it comes to real implementation these languages are used. So please do add some of these languages in your courses.Because of these languages I was not selected because I didnt work on these languages and this happened to me 3 times. » (?)
- The choice you made to keep tution fees, I totaly against it. Well, you charged no fees to EU students who are from rich countries, but students from my country are poor, can"t even dream to study in Sweden any more. I am very unhappy for your dicission and sorry to say that we cannot come to Sweden for study any more. You might have few students who are really rich, but even they will not consider to come in Sweden. Because, I know, those rich students in my country they prefer to study in USA, UK, Canada or AUS. Rest of the poor students like me, preffered choice was Sweden. Now our hope and dream to receive some well higher education is stopped. This tution fee is just like a SLAP from Sweden to us who are poor. Wish you good luck you rich people.» (?)
- manufacture the at least simple satellite» (?)
- The course of "Phase Transformation" may be included in first year, perhaps in first quarter.It will make life more easier for students in the courses of Engineering Metals and Joining Technology» (?)
- Something more mathematical. I would have liked to read simulatioin of complex system. But since it is at the same period as sustainable energy futures its hard to prioritate it in. Would hav ebeen better if you could read it either in lp4 for as one of the electable courses or as an alternative to course to either applied industriable ecology of environmental management which are courses that both suck. » (?)
- strategy creation, sustainability development, » (?)
- Distributed Systems Programming, Networking Programming.» (?)
- Maybe, to have more options in the optative courses.» (?)

- I dont know, people more skilled then me should identify potential areas and hence add them as mandatory courses to the program. But i seariously feel ill-equipped to goi either in the industry or in reseach.» (Yes)
- The name of My program is almost tricky, the name should be relatied for digital domian not Integrated Electronics System on chip» (Yes)
- Practical marketing courses. The current marketing and nerworking courses are on a too high theoretical level. The majority of the students will NOT continue in the university world and thus need another type of marketing courses. Also the program boasts to involve marketing and therfore this is needed.» (Yes)
- More brand management» (Yes)
- Mer tekniska kurser! Som det är nu blir vi snarare miljöaktivister än ingenjörer.» (Yes)
- I would like to have more focus on lean which I believe many people associate operations with. The lean parts that was covered in Mats course where not sufficient and well taught. » (Yes)
- The Biomedical Engineering in Chalmers is served as a bachelor degree and gives no further details. It is just a summery of six tracks and nothing more!» (Yes)

- design course » (Yes)
- more management courses and a course/subcourse within maintenance since it is "in the loop" around now» (Yes)
- The Nuclear Engineering programme (since it is focused around nuclear reactors and power plants) should contain a basic course dealing with (electric) power production and transportation, in my opinion.» (Yes)
- More up-to-date courses or aim the course contents more to todays technologies.» (Yes)
- global enviornmental issues» (Yes)
- Advanced courses on Vibrations» (Yes)
- Resource planning and management. (More hands on and applied to reality.)» (Yes)
- some more advanced and practical courses about networking» (Yes)
- Something relating to economical issues within product development. Cost estimation, target costing or something similar.» (Yes)
- Some focus course in network programming. There are the distributed systems courses, of course, but one with focus on programming and designing high performance network applications with focus on reliability, security and performance. Maybe as an optional course. » (Yes)
- all information about other courses in other faculties could be clear. a student free discussion web base room can help students to understand the content of courses and also know professors before they take courses.» (Yes)
- More business understanding. Remove the course environmental management and replace it with a coourse in sustainable management taught by another department.» (Yes)

- Routing and Swithching, » (Yes)
- C/C++, Java» (Yes)
- Design Patterns» (Yes)
- A course/courses that go deeper in the following two areas, which are two of the master programs goals: 18. relate the technical specifications of a communication system to its role in society, including economical, environmental, and ethical considerations, as well as to regulation and standardization 19. reflect upon how communication technology interacts with the physiology of the human being, including aspects of health and perception, and which responsibilities this places on the engineer » (Yes)
- Some relevant technologies for prototyping and specifically evaluating designs, involving end users more.» (Yes)
- There is almost no course in the filed of neuroscience, which is one the major, wellknown branches of biomedical engineering. » (Yes)
- Radio electronic» (Yes)
- Quantum Mechanics, Hålfasthetslära» (Yes)
- Intellectual property» (Yes)
- Many but some of the new improvements are towards that direction.» (Yes)
- There are several subjects in the programme, road, geotecnic, water, environment and risk so it is hard to specalize in one subject. And that is not what the employers are looking for!!» (Yes)
- More emphasis on the synthesis phase, including idea generation , concept development and aesthetical issues. As it is now, there is too much emphasis on the analytical phases, resulting in an unsecurity about the more creative parts of product development. More shorter assignemnts where the creativity is trained, without the aim that the result shall be 100% water proof in every aspect.» (Yes)
- During the forst quarter, there should be a MATLAB course aimed for students who doesn"t have this knowledge at all. I"ve my freinds who don"t know MATLAb even now. It"s an integral pat of our curriculum. The current basic course in MATLAB runs for 2 weeks and during that time, students need time to get adjusted in this new place. Also that course, as I came to know was about 3D in MATLAB. So, some people faced difficulties learning that.» (Yes)
- I think that the PhD courses that are already available at the department should be available to advanced students if the lecturer agrees that the student in question can attend. Then such courses should be easy to include in the master"s degree and not as it is today with the "Topics in engineering mathematics" course listing.» (Yes)
- More courses on research topics» (Yes)
- maybe courses regarding PLC"s.» (Yes)
- environmental policy and economy» (Yes)
- Compiler construction» (Yes)
- some elective like advance system design or embedded systems design for students with background in electronics engineering...» (Yes)
- YES! more hands on courses where you learn tools such as Energy System Modelling and Planning» (Yes)
- IT Business Design, if there"s anything like that.» (Yes)
- An environmental transports course» (Yes)
- The existing "Matrix Analysis" should be the start before the course commences. Even though, this is a PhD course, this definitely sets the tone in better understanding communications, especially, subspaces, projecting vectors to null space, MIMO. The course does expect the students to know linear algebra but not everyone has read or encountered Eigen values and Eigen vectors. The course and its students will benefit a lot if the MATRIX ANALYSIS course SSY205 or something similar is at the start of the course. Otherwise, the first year of the MSc in CommEngg is well structured, going over every stage of the communication block. Apart from the Random processes course, most of the other Comm Engg courses did not deal much with stochastic processes ! :( The 2nd year MSC Comm Engg is dry ! with nothing other than the PhD courses. Most of the students are here to specialize and dig deep into communication engg but instead the 2nd year is mostly pushed to other departments. Hence, if there were courses that could talk about the latest things in research or even developments in MIMO would be wonderful. At times, I feel the MSc course is a waste of time, as nothing significant is learnt apart from what is already studied in the Bachelors ! 2nd Year needs improvement.» (Yes)
- There should be a separate course on MIMO and OFDM either mandatory or elective.» (Yes)
- Some finance as a complement, so a course in corporate finance for instance.» (Yes)
- - acoustic simulation course only using FEM/SEA/BEM/Abaqus/Ansys/CAE etc. - vehicle acoustic course - non linear acoustics - still more of the good structure borne sound which is so good done already by Wolfgang Kropp - project work in acoustic, for example that one or two people can work on a project/topic for a quarter to learn things and investigate them so that they practice more working on their own and get also ECTS for that! » (Yes)
- Juridical things like laws and regulations for biulgings and how to draw up a contract.» (Yes)
- A practical course that runs over the whole year where some more complex problem than the ones in the standard laborations has to be solved.» (Yes)
- more quality and operations management for the Management-track. As process management, course in purchasing, production economy» (Yes)
- Medical Physics. Every year.» (Yes)
- Quality methods More mixed applications between engineering and industrial design» (Yes)
- More network courses. Internet technology is so hectic, maybe you can divide it into two courses or something.» (Yes)
- More (system) modelling and mathematically oriented courses» (Yes)
- not in particular, but I think the elective courses in general don"t cover the whole area of the programme. the variety of them is too low.» (Yes)
- In-depth courses in software like CATIA, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, etc., Maya, SolidWorks, etc.» (Yes)
- Construction Planning and Control, Resource Management, Project Cost Estimating, Information Technology Applications in Construction, Business Practices in Construction, Construction Equipment Management, Construction Site planning and Management» (Yes)
- I think there is a lack of courses related to Digital ASIC or implementation technologies or related to more tools.» (Yes)
- maybe a more deep or a more practical network security course, would also be nice if it enabled you to take cisco certifications. » (Yes)
- More ecomony and market thinking. Maybe something about electrical power» (Yes)
- Basic Communication Courses like Digital Signal Processing and Error Control Coding» (Yes)
- Programming courses (Java, C/C++, C#/.NET) » (Yes)
- Skeppsbyggnadsteknik» (Yes)
- I think it"s a shame that there isn"t more cooperation with the math department and Chalmers and GU and with the logic and philosophy department at GU. I find that many courses offered at those departments are relevant to us at CSALL. Abstract algebra for example, given by the math department. The logic department at GU used to have courses in recursion theory, model theory, set theory, proof theory, etc (http://www.utbildning.gu.se/ViewPage.action?siteNodeId=541835&languageId=100000&contentId=-1&subjectParam=Logik&languageId=100000&subjectPageSiteNodeId=541835) but because of decline and money those courses are no longer given. I think that"s a huge shame, because we even have a logic track at the CSALL master and surely there would be atleast a handful of students who would like to take those courses if they knew they existed and the same goes for relevant courses at the math department...» (Yes)
- A course solely in VHDL coding, how to write good code and how to make a good system.» (Yes)
- What I miss in some of the courses are dynamic behaviour of different systems. Most of the time we looked at the ideal cases and simplifications, this is also needed but then some of the dynamic stuffs also has to be added since this is the problem in reality.» (Yes)
- More on methods to program in VHDL instead of just VHDL programming.. Dos and donts.. basically an industry oriented approach to VHDL.» (Yes)
- I suggest that the program should be split into two programs 1 Msc networks and Communicatiions 2 Msc Distributed Systems » (Yes)
- Course in patents, histology, biology terminology/advanced genetics» (Yes)
- The microscopy course in lp4 is not really a option when your taking the biomaterial track..maybe move the course to lp1 so that you can take it the second year» (Yes)
- courses in nanochemistry» (Yes)
- Management» (Yes)
- Keep the IT systems as optional. Make a production path and one more management path throughout the program. Include more focus on the demand side, not just 1 course.» (Yes)
- Since the program is in a multidisciplinary field, i would like to have a broader selection of courses, today we have 9 courses to choose from, and that is too low!» (Yes)
- Mandatory FEM» (Yes)
- Lean Production» (Yes)
- Human genetics can be added» (Yes)
- Some courses from the international project management that in some cases are difficult to get in due to capacity issues» (Yes)
- More courses in economy and legal affairs» (Yes)
- courses with a more technical/engineering perspective, advanced finance course, marketing, general strategy course » (Yes)
- a course dealing with the programming aspects of data aquisition and analysis, being able to write small programs/routines is expected from almost all physicists but but we are required to learn it just as we get along our studies, it would be good to have some physics focused programming course.( i also spoke with students with bachelor degree from chalmers and they agree)» (Yes)
- maybe a little more engineering is better» (Yes)
- Human Genetics» (Yes)
- Mangement and leader courses.» (Yes)
- The whole programme needs to be revised.» (Yes)
- a laboratory of circuit design for communication engineering. (we see a lot of matlab things that stay theoretical, but we never materialize them into a pcb)» (Yes)
- Project management, Leadership(real one), Resource management, Quote from a exchange-student at this master programme: "if I wanted to be a good programmer, I would be done after my bachelor, I came for something else"» (Yes)
- Quantum optics project course in photonics» (Yes)
- More courses involving indoor climate and building physics. Less compulsory courses.» (Yes)
- ecology and sustainability in design» (Yes)
- Econometrics» (Yes)
- More management» (Yes)
- Power System Protection and Wind power system» (Yes)
- some basic finance course, Strategy course» (Yes)
- - courses which make use of your knowledge in maths - more elective courses to choose between» (Yes)
- More suggestions for the second autumn so that the students will know what is appropriate for the degree» (Yes)
- course on mobile application development designing and validation of architecture with tools.» (Yes)
- From what I understand, many who work with computer security in the industry find it difficult to motivate to their bosses why the company should spend money on security. It might be nice with a course that bring up that topic, that might also give an introduction on how to analyze cost-effectiveness of implementing certain security-related measures. The master programme "Software engineering" (and IT-programmet on the bachelor level) has some interesting courses on high-quality programming, which is a skill that I think is very useful for making secure systems. I have chosen several of them myself, but making them recommended or mandatory might not be a bad idea. It would also be fun with advanced security courses, since the ones available now (except Language-based security) give little more than playing with Linux-servers on ones spare time. One example is to make them more research-oriented.» (Yes)
- A course about the power market and how one manage it. And a basic course about cooling.» (Yes)
- "Advanced courses" (courses that continuous where bachelor courses in the same subject left off) in general. In particular a course I"d really like to take if is existed would be Advanced Databases (focused on performance and optimization)» (Yes)
- It was a lot of probability theory in Modelling and simulation and Digital control. I saw that the master programme MPCOM has a course in Random processes with applications. That might be helpful for us too. We can choose it in the second year. However, it might be better to read it before the other courses.» (Yes)
- shell analysis, earthquake engineering, bridge engineering» (Yes)
- I think this program has a serious lack of Hydraulic courses or the courses related to.» (Yes)
- MANAGEMENT COURSES!» (Yes)
- Would like to have software architecture with revised course outline and more interactive session with the course members. Another course that i would like to have is "Design Pattern" that would focus on the learnig of various design patters in the software industries such as the GOF(gang of four) design patterns (Builder, Factory etc.)» (Yes)
- Let Master Students start their thesis earlier, even at the start of their education. They have passed bachelor, so they are capable of handle basics.» (Yes)
- For instance Phsycology for Engineers, Project Management and some kind of course that concerns starting your own business. » (Yes)
- CAD courses taught in English.» (Yes)
- Some architecture classes with a clear focus, led by competent teachers with knowledge of the course subject who give guidance, assistance, lectures on the subject and provide relevant literature would be nice.» (Yes)
- more renewable energy (i mean just few lectures on it, it should have specific courses on wind turbines, marine energy or solar photovoltaic...)» (Yes)
- Structural Optimization» (Yes)
- More propulsion courses» (Yes)
- courses about energy» (Yes)
- A seperate course for Power system protection and generation.» (Yes)
- A course with greater focus on different tools and processes used at construction sites.

- Quantum mechanics nanophotonics» (Yes)
- Business Law» (Yes)
- Finance, practical cash flow studies.» (Yes)

- A course in patents should be obligatory in an innovations programme!» (Yes)
- More early project management and team dynamics, since working in teams are quite enforced and frequent, then it would be very beneficial to have a early minimum framework so that all group members have some basic knowledge how to behave in teams and project groups.» (Yes)
- earthquake engineering» (Yes)
- High Voltage- / Electric- Power, that is nog only meant for vehicles.» (Yes)
- Networks in control systems» (Yes)
- Geophysics, statistics/geostatistics, geo and water engineering courses related to energy (ie water power, wave power, geothermal power etc), mineral resources (oil/gas/mining etc)» (Yes)
- some courses from mechanical department and maybe a few courses about earth quack design. » (Yes)
- Need to insert additional courses.Because current courses are either have been chosen from physics depertment or from micro technology » (Yes)
- I"d like to see a basic network course connected with Internet Technology. Then instead of voluntarily a mandatory Switches and routers course as it is extremely useful. » (Yes)
- Project Management, Basic Finance» (Yes)
- Optimization» (Yes)
- The hard courses are so crowded in the beginning 6 quarters in my major, and the rest time of this program are not fully used. Because the following coursed are a bit simple.» (Yes)

- a course knowledge about how chemicals effect the nature and the human body» (Yes)
- automotive acoustics, thermo acoustics, project work.» (Yes)
- The master is called Sustainable Energy Systems. Yes we have courses about Sustainable Development and Sustainable Energies. Yes we have courses about Energy Systems. But I don"t see any course in the program making the link between those two subjects. Indeed, we don"t learn that much about making energy systems energy-efficient (except by the use of heat exchangers). For instance, how to design correctly motors and pumps (size adapted to demand), what kind of devices can be added to reduce the energy demand (such as variable frequency drives), what kind of maintenance should be done to avoid losses, etc. I"m available for any other suggestion regarding an "Energy Efficiency for Industry" course (allet@student.chalmers.se). I think it is really important to have one for this master.» (Yes)
- Actually, MPCOM is too general, people who want to study wireless communication path have wireless courses only in the first year, the second year course offer is very poor. I think this is not good. You can choose a bunch of courses, get to know a bit about everything, but essentially you will end up knowing nothing really deep.» (Yes)
- Maybe some selective course related to economics in company context combining supply chain. » (Yes)
- TQM organizational behavior» (Yes)
- more Quality e.g. TQM and Lean something more suitable for mechanical engineering. Today there is still much focus on Construction engineering» (Yes)

- There could be some more technical courses. Fundamental structural engineering for example.» (No)
- Update the courses. They are way too easy.» (No)
- But make sure elective courses are being done..Ended up with a third choice this year, and hence elective became mandatory courses to only get enough credit points in the ECTS system.» (No)
- I think there should be a Swedish language course so that we can understand Swedish language and culture.» (No)
- Current plan with many elective free courses are good. Gives the student much freedom to make it"s own specialization/generalization» (No)
- I would like a clearer separation between the different areas. My primary interest is in Human Factors for instance and especially Grafical Interfaces. To be able to read all courses I feel is relevant in this field i must study at more than a 100 % pace, since a number of mandatory courses exist which do not contribute towards my understanding in the area.» (No)
- Om vi bara pratar med koordinatorn först får vi välja in i stort sett vilken kurs som helst från andra mastersprogram» (No)
- should perhaps have chosen another programme» (No)
- We are free to add courses from other areas ourselves.» (No)
- rather, the courses should have higher standard, and then I only refer to all of the courses after christmas. They were all a disaster!» (No)
- More connection to real working tasks and probable future tasks. » (No)
- Business administration» (No opinion)
- A course in parallel programming would be a good preparation for some of the courses contained in the programme (distributed systems, real time systems etc). So maybe it would be a good idea to recommend students applying to the programme to read such a course before the master.» (No opinion)
- Image analysis course is not very satisfactory,,teach it diffrently..» (No opinion)

- Organisational project management» (?)
- Astrophysics and Earth Science to revised (to be given independently)» (?)
- Some courses should be cancelled such as manufacturing strategy. It is useless for students who choose the track of manufacturing technology.» (?)
- The choice you made to keep tution fees, I totaly against it. Well, you charged no fees to EU students who are from rich countries, but students from my country are poor, can"t even dream to study in Sweden any more. I am very unhappy for your dicission and sorry to say that we cannot come to Sweden for study any more. You might have few students who are really rich, but even they will not consider to come in Sweden. Because, I know, those rich students in my country they prefer to study in USA, UK, Canada or AUS. Rest of the poor students like me, preffered choice was Sweden. Now our hope and dream to receive some well higher education is stopped. This tution fee is just like a SLAP from Sweden to us who are poor. Wish you good luck you rich people.» (?)
- building in society, construction processes » (?)
- Managing Development Projects. Make the course more applied and less theoretical.» (?)
- applied mechatronics - really bad course, I didn"t learn anything but I still got grade 5 project management - have before product development course advanced cad - better eamination needed, could be a good course but more demands are needed » (?)
- Modern manufacturing processes. Too easy» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Material mechanics» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Advanced production systems» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Material Mechanics» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Biopolymers» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Risk Assessment should be revised. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Uptill now its just 1, eHealth. In it the teacher is great, the guest speakers are great. The problem that i see is that apparently the course has no structure .... people come in talk about themselves about what they do and then leave, which might be ok, but i want more out of this course if i am made to study this as a mandatory course.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Skippa management of Physical distribution - vet fortfarande inte riktigt vad jag lärde mig i den kursen. Distribution networks är inte helt rolig heller, kanske man borde göra något mer intressant av den kursen.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Software architecture - the course was more about programming than architecture» (Yes (1 to 2))
- The course "Managing operations processes" has the potential of being a great course. The literature (book and articles) were very good and interesting but it needs to be taught by someone with enough knowledge in the field.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Utpräglade miljökurserna. Det behövs självklart utvecklas ett tänkande för hållbar utveckling, men det är lämpligare att detta görs som delar i befintliga kurser, snarare än i enskilda. Ska det vara enskilda miljökurser bör de vara tekniska inriktade och inte så färgade av föreläsarens egna uppfattning om hur alla små söta djur ska räddas.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- I would like to remove Mats course Operations Processes which I was very disappointed of. Mats is not a skilled lecturer and does not inspire the class to learn. It seems that he does not know his slides and that he has copied them from the previous teacher. The course is much to broad and too similar to the first introduction course. On a master level I as a student expect more specialization and to dig deep into an area instead of covering all type of operations in 7 weeks. After a very interesting and challenging autumn, this course very much lowered my satisfaction with the programme. Moreover, the projects in the Six Sigma course must be distributed earlier in order for the student to have a fair chans of improving the process. Moreover, information should be improved between the courses so that Stefano is not repeating too much content from the autumn, which has happened. Finally, the course should take place on dates that doesn"t clash with exam dates. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Yes the course ehealth and Bioelectromagnetics should not be mandatory cause they arenot useful for all the tracks!» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Production Logistics, den är alldeles för lik kursen Logistik som är valbar i 3:an för M-studenter.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Skip VEF and introduce a real finance course. NVF should be revised so that a motivated teacher is responsible.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Economics of Innovation are very similar to ekonomisk analys 3: innovationsekonomi which we studied in the third year at the I-programme at Chalmers. This course is much repetition for most students. Also, Research Design and methods, much of it were covered when doing the bachelor thesis.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- R&D Strategy and Organisation takes way too much time to be a course valid for 7,5 points, too many literature seminar, cases and literature. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Energy systems modelling and planning is a really good course idea-wise but it is run really poorly.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- I like the AFP course but the examination should be revised.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Sustainable energy future and sustainable developement is to similar. Half of SEF is repitition. Don"t think that energy systems modelling an planning can be held as it is. It"s only frustrating without any good planning. I think the content is ok but the performance is unacceptable.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- I don"t thick HVAC should be compulsary, it"s not relevant.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Statistical physics 2, but it already has.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- The courses that were split up could be managed better for example the earth science/space science course» (Yes (1 to 2))
- In general the examiners shouldn"t hand out assignments so heavy they can"t grade them in time.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Change teacher in Microwave projects course, either start cooperation again with someone working in industry who can lecture on project leading or pay someone from say industrial economy to come and teach project management.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- ICM Theory in year 2 lp 2 could be removed. Didn"t added anything to the program where it is situated. Would be better as a start-up of the programme. The business creation lab feels more directed towards CSE and GIBBS and not ICM which makes this course freestanding from the rest of the program» (Yes (1 to 2))
- For many courses the two first weeks are used bringing students from external master programs up to speed. Maybe give those students handouts?» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Managing operations processes - interesting subject but the course needs to be revised in order to make students more engaged» (Yes (1 to 2))
- CATIA V5 more focus on the advanced modules Business markting and purchasing change to project management» (Yes (1 to 2))
- I think the course Applied Nuclear Chemistry should be elective, not compulsory to make room for other courses if one does not wish to pursue a Chemistry oriented version of the programme.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- The MTS-courses should not be mandatory to get a "civilingenjörsexamen"» (Yes (1 to 2))
- PLM - due to that the software used havent been functioning any of the years the course has been up an running. Why force the students to take a non-functioning completely useless course?» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Building Acoustics and Environmental Noise should be presented as two separate courses.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Materials Selection and Design is a joke. It does not fill the 7,5 credits with enough content and the lecturer is really lazy. It felt like a waste of time.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Distributed Systems was a catastrophy. Nearly half the course dealt with communication protocols and security, which is covered (by good margin) by the compulsatory communication course and the computer security course. This time could be spent on design of modern middleware instead. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Environmental management should be removed and replaced with a course in sustainable management taught by another department.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- More ultrasonics, if possible, and less loudspeakers...» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Applied signal processing, Multimedia anf video communications (too similar to source coding)» (Yes (1 to 2))
- The information systems course should be heavily changed (the book, the TA, and the topics covered).» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Nuclear Chemistry course in the first study period has very high workload compared to the other course and most of the students find it difficult to cope with it. at least i found it very difficult.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Freight Transport system, it could be a bit better to add some more pratical examples.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Energy systems modelling and planning since much of the course has been covered in previous courses.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Freight course was too easy.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Modeling and problem solving The cumpolsory "environmental"-crap assignment that does not result in any credits for the students.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- just remove digital control subject from this degree program.... » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Global Chemical Sustainability Advanced Chemical Engineering and PAT » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Advanced sketching has very good and relevant content but it REALLY needs a course PM. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Freight transport systems Distribution networks Management of physical distribution These three courses could be added together since it is a lot of redundancy in them from previous courses.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- The courses "Freight Transport Systems" and " Management of Physical Distribution" could be merged to one course. There was a lot of redundancy and repetition in the two courses. We even had the same guest lecturer come and give the exact same presentatation twice. Freight systems was a decent course albeit a little bit too easy but physical distribution was a total disgrace! We only had classes for four weeks. No read thread between the lectures. If you merge the two courses to one and put in a large case-project I think it would have been much better. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Agile Development in Teams» (Yes (1 to 2))
- e-Health.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Logic» (Yes (1 to 2))
- projekt and regler» (Yes (1 to 2))
- The mandatory courses are no good to people that have their B.Sc. from Chalmers Biotechnology program.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Engineering geology, which I hope, after the last time they gave the course and the disscusions.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- The students" presentations in Complex Systems Seminar could be replaced with professional presentations of applications in Industry and Research.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- I thought the project course was of no use for me. Chalmers student have done likely courses 3-4 times before. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Some of the courses could benefit from an approach that was more directed towards learning concepts, ideas and design issues instead of trying to teach students specific implementations. The courses I"m thinking about are mainly Internet Technologies and Distributed Systems (the first course, not the advanced one). These courses should definitely be in the programme, but they could be revised.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Fuel cells Surface and nanophysics They are both far too easy to pass, you barely have to learn anything. In surface and nanophysics it is also clear that the prerequisite of knowledge of solid state physics is not enforced what so ever.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- I think "Nanobioscience for information processing" must not be compulsory» (Yes (1 to 2))
- I think that in general the programme should be made more flexible and studens should be allowed to design their own curriculum much more than now. My suggestion is that no courses are made mandatory for everyone and instead put some of the currently mandatory courses as mandatory within different "minors" or subprogrammes. This then relies on the students being given good information about the topics that different courses will deal with so that they can make informed decisions. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- The PLM course is a bit heavy...» (Yes (1 to 2))
- The preparation course for the Master Thesis do not give a good preparation for the Thesis. a course like that is necessary, but the way it is done today do not help the students at all. The course Research by Design should also be changed. The course do not give any knowledge at all.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- MCC090 is too elementary for the program.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- VEF» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Physical Computing and Ubiquitous computing should be review as both can be join in one course with a better project that can be done in six months. Instead of 2 mediocre projects...» (Yes (1 to 2))
- YES!!!!! Environmental Management . One of the worst courses I have taken and it is so fuzzy, unstructured and low level of the lectures. That course might be good if you have not taken any course on sustainability before but for a master program such as Industrial ecology - where the most of the courses has some kind of sustainability aspect in it - this course is VERY LOW LEVEL! It also might have something to do with the teachers! Also Applied Industrial Ecology was very boring and could really have been structured and tought in a much more interesting way. It is though a quite relevant course for the program...» (Yes (1 to 2))
- The biggest problem is that some courses contains too much repetition from other courses already studied during the bachelor, which demotivates me since it seems like I do not learn anything new and I do not become more specialiased. So far this is specifically true for the course Protein Engineering I, which I am sure is possible to improve in a lot of ways. A course that need to be revised if not removed is the Biopolymer which give nothing for other students than thoose reading the tissue-track.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- introduction to communication engineering, antenna engineering» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Many are extremely similar, especially "management of physical distribution" and "Distrbution networks"» (Yes (1 to 2))
- 2nd Year courses need improvement ! such that they are relevant to Comm Engg.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Either there should not be restriction to study semi-elective courses (currently 2 out of 4) or there should be more semi-elective courses for selection of courses.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Conservation and transformation about cultural heritage is an interesting course, but not as useful as for exemple a course about laws and regulations.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- -Wireless networks(Just too easy and need to be revised for sure.Make it more practical rather than just giving guest lectures) » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Quality management and risk management» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Architectural conservation and transformation. This course is in need of a serious revising.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Materials selection should be revised to if that course really adds to the programme.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Design systems » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Think about internet technology. Too much stuffs to read. It is in the first quarter and the new students might have serious difficulties with them. No one got 5 this year, even in the re-exam so there must be a problem. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Remove Introduction to discrete events system and possible real-time control systems.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- in my opinion the course "managing operation processes" needs serious revision. the issue with the course is not the syllabus, but the teacher and his lectures.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Remove "Industrial design engineering - methodology ..." and "Risk Management and Safety"» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Energy systems modelling and planning» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Applied Mechatronics might be improved by adding some more depth to the topics.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- it does not have a clear statement of course selection in the second year, not quite clear specification» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Sustainable Development. I think this is the worst of two similar courses. The pepole behaind te course are much more nice i SEF than in SD. Even the staff in ESMP makes that course bad.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- PLM-course, too narrow and specific to be a part of the mandatory block. Should be elective. Or a part of the course could be included in another course, CAD for instance.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- I guess the courses should be thoroughly revised as we come from different backgrounds from Bachelors.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Computer Introduction - removed Applied Signal Processing - revised » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Project in applied mechanics (removed) Computations in mechanics (revised) » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Ships Motions and Wave induced load bör pedagogiskt göras om. Pedagogiken i övegripande förståelse för strukturkurserna kan också göras bättre.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Good subjects but poor teaching in the Agile and Software Architecture courses.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Individual preparation course should be made into a more real course. I think that there is always a similar need for each new group of masters students to go into the "necessary evils" of acoustics and thus, a better structure should be easy to impose on the course curriculum.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Modeling and simulation was a very poor course, and not a very good introduction for the master program (since it was in lp1)» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Sustainable power production and transportation. This course is way to easy compared to the other master courses.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- again my suggestion is to make two programs instead of one» (Yes (1 to 2))
- You have to know which control subject have been handled befor in the master program. It has felt like we have been going trough the same material over and over again in the control subjects.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Ship resistance and propulsion should be split in two courses FEM in design was a bit too easy» (Yes (1 to 2))
- statistical inference can be made as an elective» (Yes (1 to 2))
- The Production Logistics course should change the book as it is really boring and hard to read, it is repetitive the information so is difficult to keep motivation when reading.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- information system for scm, make it more practical » (Yes (1 to 2))
- the QFT course needs another teacher» (Yes (1 to 2))
- As it is shaped today, I would not advise anyone to take the Room Acoustics-course since it is badly organized and requires work well worth at least 15 points. My suggestion is that the course is divided in to RAC-I and RAC-II and then have i.e. the BAC or HRSV moved to one of the periods after summer.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- BIS» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Biopolymers should not be compulsary. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Statistical inference» (Yes (1 to 2))
- MOP» (Yes (1 to 2))
- the room acoustics course should be revised. more consultation is needed. the scope is too comprehensive the learning outcome from the human response to sound course are quite vague» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Two. Advanced Classical physics and Quantum Field theory. I"m sorry but I have to be frank. The courses are good, except for the lecturer. There is general consensus among students are as far as I am concerned that we Really need a new lecturer.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- software architecture needs a new teacher.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Remove or substantially revise Environmental Management» (Yes (1 to 2))
- wireless networks. it doesn"t seem to be very well organized to me. the course memo / project memo should be clear enough for the student to understand what is that he has to do, but in this case, it seems like the people in charge are making it up along the road. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- KOK076 Natural product chemistry - the name should be adjusted to fit the content better. A large part of the course overlaps with KEM830 Medicinal Chemistry (GU). It would be more beneficial for the students if the name contained "Medicinal" or something along that line. Alot of course content is about medicine.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Vibration control» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Bioreactors is far to much similar with Bioreaktionsteknik from the bachelor in biotechnology. The part that Carl-Johan Franzen has is exactly the same as in the course we took earlier.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Bioreactor» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Materials for light weight design needs revision (as is planned for 2010/2011 for what I"ve heard) Materials characterisation and failure analysis can be more focused on some core areas instead of having a little bit of everything. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- On my oppenion Sustainable Power Production should be removed and compensated by Wind power only. Introductory MATLAB should be provided in parallel with Drives two Course. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- TEK350 Intellectual property and innovation strategies. Half of the course literature was removed becasue of copyright problems (!). The quality was extremely low in all aspects!!! » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Applied computational electromagnetics shoud be removed.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- In the first two study periods the sustanability courses are very much the same, one could be removed.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- I dont think Introduction to discrete event systems should be mandatory if you choose control. Perhaps have a course in Random processes instead.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Material performance, Heat and moisture» (Yes (1 to 2))
- The course Engineering Geology should be revised both in the amount of it"s class time and it"s subject.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Project in applied mechanics was very badly planned. Revise! And Vibration control too, it was too unclear goals and course pm.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- From the 6 out of 8 mandatory courses the course birefinery should be available for the programme, but not as a mandatory course. Instead it should be optional together with the paper and cellulose technology courses. Instead the course design of industrial equipment might take it"s place. Saying this without having taking the DOE course. It corresponds better to the chemical engineering programe. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- i do not understand why we had Iindustrial Energy Systems before Heat and Power Systems Engineering... and before Energy Systems Modelling and Planning, we should study wider systems first, it will help us to better understand heat exchanger systems... » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Introduction to automotive engineering for example» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Software Architecture. I hear it is being revised though. I didn"t like Software leadership and quality management much either.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Project Psychology course was perfect» (Yes (1 to 2))
- strategic environmental assessment is not reasonable in terms of the exam.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- The Foundations of Probatility Theory, not much new compared from the one at F, studied for 30h altogether, got a 5.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Revise the content of Managing organizations in the construction industry so that they are more specific to construction. As of now, too much focus is put on organizations in general.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- protein engineering 1» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Foundation for microwave engineering» (Yes (1 to 2))
- heat and moisture engineering» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Information Systems for SCM should be revised. The level was too low when I took it in the spring of 2009. One improvement would be if the course focused on one ERP system, for instance Movex, giving the students deep (and meaningful) knowledge instead of general (and useless) knowledge of several ERP systems. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Earth science part of RRY030.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- I think that Project in applied mechanics, TME130 should be fundamentally revised and taken over by an other examiner or removed from the programme. The problem considered in the course is way too large to be treated with the expected accuracy in a 7.5 ECTS course. The course also suffers from poor administration and inadequate computer resources. Furthermore, the course requires knowledge that we don"t have (e.g. advanced CAD modelling). The fact that this course had problems also last year, and that these problems have not been solved in a satisfactory way, suggests that a heavy revision is necessary. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Functional analysis should only be compulsory for the Mathematics specialization. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Distributed Systems. Internet Technology» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Distributed Systems 1 & 2 needs to be modified, it feels slightly old.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- biomedical instrumentation» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Nordic Architecture» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Maybe the course wireless network can be changed a bit but not removed.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- I think there are too many environemental courses, it should be more geo and water-courses instead.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Risk Management. Relevant course, but for my group it was a disaster in lectures and structure. But I know this have been dealt with internally at Chalmers already..So the next year students will probably have a much better experience.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Digital contorl should not be one of the semi complus.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Wireless networks» (Yes (1 to 2))
- To many mandatory courses. 4 or 5 would be enough » (Yes (1 to 2))
- The managing operations course and the research methodology course» (Yes (1 to 2))
- research by design» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Advanced production systems, manufacturing strategy» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Biorefinery. (Informationen om träden och vedstrukturer och lite kemisk information om lignin, cellulosa och användningsområden var användbart. Däremot rabblandet av olika processer som utgör huvuddelen av kursen är totalt oanvändbart. Jämför en historieundervisning där du rabblar kungar och årtal, det ger inte så mycket. Global sustainable chemical engineering (man lär sig inget som är kopplat till yrket (dessutom gymnasienivå)) » (Yes (1 to 2))
- -Introduction to Automotive Engineering course should be taught in a different way. Too many different areas are covered in a very short period. Therefore, the student overlaps everything too quickly to remember the knowledge.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Material performance and heat & moisture. Perhaps make them into one course » (Yes (1 to 2))
- I think the master thesis should not be compulsory. One should be able to take 4 courses instead. I think the master thesis represents too much work compared to regular courses time. And it is very hard to find a supervisor with a good subject. It is also bad not to be able to find a partner and to work alone for a so long time. According to Sven Knutsson who is responsible of master theses, a student should work 40 hours/week, in full time work. I think this is too much work, because one has to work on writting a report, prepare slides for meetings, realize many tasks, travel at the company (in my case), read a lot of documentation, etc. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- eHealth» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Research by deisign as well as design development and management needs to either be revised or removed. Also the information abour what to ekspect from the courses should be made more clear.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Introduction to AE.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Building in society (poorly planed and executet course, aim unclear..) should be removed» (Yes (1 to 2))
- the first one we took (not science of env. change which was really good)» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Material selection and design» (Yes (1 to 2))
- VEF, NVF» (Yes (1 to 2))
- software architecture software leadership and quality management» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Reform the Modelng and plannign subject, it is a good subject but very bad planned» (Yes (1 to 2))
- The project in applied mechanics. The structure of the course are not very good and it"s too short with one quarter for such a project. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Enviromental system analysis » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Managing Operation Processes» (Yes (1 to 2))
- I took the course in Distributed Systems, but I couldn"t find that it gave me much I will have use for. Maybe move focus away from the details of a few distributed algorithms and instead discuss the problems and solutions in a more general way. Tho course in Agile Development Processes could include a little more on SCRUM and a little less on XP.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- industrial engineering could maybe be a part of another course.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Internal combustion engines and Hybrid and vehicles controls... the lecturer should be replaced..sven andersson is bad for the programme.. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Applied mechatronics need a revision.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- MCC090 could be made elective, not mandatory, because many people have had similar courses in their bachelor programs» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Sustainable Development course should be revised. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- The systemic design course is problematic. It is valuable in that it helps us as architects to take a step back and realize that we are dealing with systems, all the time. However it is highly questionable to try to make students design a building in such a course without ever having the students even practice doing a more scientific systemic analysis prior to this. Perhaps it would be better as a theoretical course with some practice on more proven and traditional systemic analysis techniques, rather than throwing students out into a design assignment. It could probably be shortened. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- I was a student at Matter Space Structure during the fall, but changed to Spaces for Housing Healthcare and Work for the spring term. I am happy with my current study atmospehere, but still upset on how some issues were handled by Morten Lund. I think Morten Lund is a great architect, and good at giving relevant criticism and feedback, but not suitable for planning and managing courses. I completely lacked reasonable schedules and "framförhållning", and also clearity of the goals to achieve in one description. The part "system design" was not clear at all. "Design a system for Gothenburg, if the city is flooded". There was no respect for parallel courses, regarding the work load. The tasks were divided into "2 weeks assignment" when we had 4 scheduled days to perform, and night time work was encouraged. During the concrete workshop autumn -09, there were not safety masks enough for everyone, (or at least they run out) why I got sick and went to the hospital for lung-problems which lasted for 2 months. At the Housing program, I think things are better handled, even if I totally miss the construction aspect of buildings. Therefore, my following answers refer to mixed good and bad experiences. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Advanced Software Architecture, » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Research methods and design should be in the fall first semester for exchange students that leave Chalmers in calender year should get the opportunity to write their master thesis abroad.» (Yes (1 to 2))

- Material performance. Parts of it was good but definately not all. however this may be a good course due to large variations in students background.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- The courses DTIM and IFS could be improved academically. Many lectures did not feel relevant to the course, while other important parts seemed to be missing.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Statistics and Data Analysis(Want to be removed) Mathematical Modelling(Could be revised)» (Yes (1 to 2))
- technological change and industrial transformation course can be revised not removed» (Yes (1 to 2))

- passive safety and active safety» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Automation - too much repetition from Z bachelor Introduction to discrete event systems - seems very similar to Automation.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Advanced Active Safety - I feel more of electronics is needed in this course. Vehicle Dynamics - The entire framework should be modified !! » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Some courses seem very similar and repetetive. Could be more useful with some more electives in LP3 year 1. » (Yes (1 to 2))

- Physical and ubiquitous computing» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Advance Production Systems was terrible, did not learn anything. Lazy and uninterested professor with a very unclear purpose. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Medicine for Engineers is too much, in the future we may need to work on the specific part of the body, and then we can focus on that part, not memorizing all the Kndel textbook! Bio instrumentation and eHealth courses are less than a 7.5 credit courses. Bio instrumentation does not need to focus on details of sensors and so on. In my opinion courses are satisying that teach us useful methods, such as signal processing or analysing methods, that could be used in other fields as well.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- (Project in) Artificial Intelligence The project in Compiler Construction could be used as CSALL project instead.» (Yes (1 to 2))

- Active microwave circuit should be revised.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Industrial energy systems should be optional and the sustainable development is really bad! It"s just repetition from the course Energiteknik in Civ.ing maskin årskurs 3. If you have studied that course you shouldnt ned to take the sustainable development.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Image analysis courses are not really relevant for people who"s not going to work in this specific field - don not force us to study them» (Yes (1 to 2))
- AI: It is not even a course, no actual education occurs in the course, few unrelated lecture, incoherent theme.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- The course Discrete event control and optimization should be revised, a lot more theory could be fitted in if less focus were put on the extended reporting... this felt more like a course in report writing than a technical course. Also, at least last year (academic year 08/09), the first 3 weeks (i.e. almost half the lecture time!) of the course realtime control was repetition from digital control! (And both are mandatory!)» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Nuclear Chemistry, Natural Product Chemistry» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Heat and moisture engineering, material performance» (Yes (1 to 2))

- the work load is very high in some courses» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Multimedia and video communication should be revised.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- ´,The course risk management and safety is a course more applied to operational engineering. Some people didn´,t have more options than choosing this course. Probably the problem is lack of other good appropiate courses in specific periods... for low coordination.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Instruction for vehicle dynamics courses have to be improved.» (Yes (1 to 2))

- The curriculum is out of touch. However, I have noticed that this has been adressed already for next year, and those changes seem well thought and are in line with my own opinion.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Graphical Interfaces» (Yes (1 to 2))
- I think it would be good to only have the design studio course eg. Matter Space Structure or Sustainble Studio etc. through out the hole master as that would make the studio work stronger and more focused. The elective courses eg. Design Systems, are never really on a deeper level and you can retreve that extra knowlegde .» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Dataaquisition in systems biology. When I took it included a lot of repetition for the biotechnology students and felt unnecessary. It should be heavily revised. I don"t find the biopolymer course to have that high standard as one would have wanted. Should include more synthesis information when it comes to polymers, more chemistry.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Structural Bioinformatics could be extended to be comprised of 2 courses... Structural bioinformatics I and II respectively, there is a lot of room in that area.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Programming in teams, Software architechture» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Improvement processes» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Modeling and simulation needs a new lecturer and teaching assistents that actually care! A more arrogant person than the lecturer is hard to find. The lecturer in applied mechatronics do not know how to lecture or how to speak english, he must be replaced. It is embarrassing for a master program on Chalmers to have such low quality! Actually, the quality on the courses is very low due to lack of interest from the lecturers and teaching assitens. There is however exceptions from the rule but they are few, 4-5 people in total.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Yes, we hade a compulsory part that didn"t give us any credits, but took a lot of time. Some enviroment-poster-session. I am very intrested in water, but I don"t see why the water courses (eg. DWE) are compulsory - most of the students on this master program are not intrested in water, they are intrested in geo or traffic. I don"t see the point of why they should read this (if it is so important, why don"t the other civil engineering master programs read that course?)» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Improving processes» (Yes (1 to 2))
- improvement processes» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Management of Physical distribution, This course were bad in almost al aspects. The level was to low, very little new information was given and the cases were irrelevant.» (Yes (1 to 2))

- Passive Safety, Vehicle Dynamics Advanced i suppose» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Logistikkursen (TEK240) som vi läste i masterprogrammet är väldigt lik logistikkursen som är valbar i grundutbilningen på M (TEK125) Till största delen gick det ut på att lära sig de engelska termerna för saker vi redan kunde sen innan och det kändes som slöseri med tid. Det borde gå att samordna så att TEK240 antingen är en fortsättning (och TEK125 krävs som förkunskaper till mastern) eller att vi som läst TEK125 inte behöver läsa TEK240 utan kan välja någon annan kurs den perioden.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Introduction to nuclear reactors.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- MPP105 and PPU090. Especially PPU090 is horrendus» (Yes (1 to 2))

- Antenna Engineering (Should be revised) » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Statistical Inference» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Internet technology,the course is interesting and very basic but the way it is presented(content) is very broad so the student only tries to memorize the concepts than to understand all because there are so much concepts may be it will be good if it is given for a semester than for a quarter.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- CNB revised in terms of work load. More connections between the courses would have been preferable!» (Yes (1 to 2))

- Building in society» (Yes (1 to 2))
- microwave engineering numerical methods » (Yes (1 to 2))

- Removed:Wireless Networks, Revised:Antenna Engineering» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Organizational Project Management could be revised and the emphasis should not be on performing a benchmark on a company. I think that when we did that benchmarking assignment we did not have enough knowledge about how organizations actually work.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Finance!» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Wave Load Course- Totally Revised. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Environmental management is horrible, no substance. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Many courses contains the same information as previous courses at the Industrial engineering and management Bachelor. And many courses are way too easy, for example business information systems for SCM, logistic and transportation management (do not remember the title).» (Yes (1 to 2))
- There is no need to have both "sustainable development" and "sustainable energy futures"» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Biopolymers felt really redundant to me (I take the biomedicine track). It"s perfect for people studying tissue engineering, but I felt that I gained nothing from it. It was mostly basic level mechanics. Had it not been obligatory I would absolutely not have taken it.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- I think the eHealth course shouldn"t be mandatory for student who do not choose that track. We should get more familiar with different techniques of doing research, as mentioned above.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Industrial design engineering - theory and methodology» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Distribution networks. There should be more applicable exercises. Meaning that the improvements that can be achieved with the theory applied should be put» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Vehicle dynamics needs to be revised» (Yes (1 to 2))
- yes one mm and Sub Tera hertz reciever Tech need some improment from learning piont of view.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Wirless Networks should be replaced with Routing Technology as a semi core course» (Yes (1 to 2))

- At least change Heat and moisture engineering and material performance totally...» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Social Entrepreneurship course should be reevaluated » (Yes (1 to 2))
- The course in statistical inference needs to be more adapted to the people in the program to teach at their level. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- The complex systems seminar course needs some revising» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Surface & nanophysics borde förändras rejält om den ska fortsätta var semiobligatorisk. Fyra timmars föreläsningar i veckan där föreläsarna inte förstår vad rast är och kunskaperna därifrån kollas aldrig. En väldigt frånvarande examinator och ingen feedback på inlämnade projekt.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Environmental management have certainly some good views that we have not read about before but today the course is also very much a beginners course in environmental studies overall. That is generally a problem I think that we do not have any courses where we go deeper in the subject after having read an introduction course. All courses seem to be fit for a student who have not taken any environmental studies before. Could be nice with some more advanced courses. The environmental management course also have some problems with to big groups in the project, not showing old exams (at least not yet), and some of the lecturer (including some guest lecturers) are not the best. All this says me that this course is enough to have as an optional one. And we have many to choose from this period. Try to move some of them to the autum» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Remove sustainable development and have combustion there as a compulsory course instead. Sustainable development and sustainable energy futures are very much alike and one would be enough. So, make combustion compulsory instead of sustainable development and focus more on that area in the master programme.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- I suggest to change some general description courses into some deeper and more technique courses.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- wireless network course in not useful at all» (Yes (1 to 2))
- TCIT - Not so much new things but an ok cource» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Hybrid Vehicles and Controls is a very good course, but I think that should be an elective. A mandatory course should be Powertrain Mechanics» (Yes (1 to 2))
- less compulsary environmental courses» (Yes (1 to 2))
- The modelling and simulation course should be improved. and the applied mechatronics course should be applied and not include the part about reading scientific papers» (Yes (1 to 2))
- managing operations processes» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Heat and Moisture Engineering(BOM080) and Indoor Climate and HVAC system design(VIN032)require revision. Especially BOM080, as there were too many teachers involved and no clear perspective on the goal of the course. As for VIN032, there is a major lack of organization and it is difficult to learn from this course. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Every course with Sven-arne Andreasson should be removed or have a different teacher.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Remove: FEM - very unbalanced course involving illogical software. Remove: Applied mechantronics - bad literature, bad lectures and mostly repetition of mechatronics in M2.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- distributed systems I & II, they are mandatory but the courses had no real content. Remove them, or change them heavily (change teachers, overview the subjects in the lectures etc.)» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Advanced production systems (Johan Stahre) was a laugh. Embarrassing that Chalmers can provide such a pointless course. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Ubiquitous takes waaay too much time. And the teacher is not holding the courses, the students are most of the time. Also please revise the course Design Methodology. At least the first lecture. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- TIF120- Surface and nanophysics» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Surface- and nanophysics skulle behöva tittas till då den som den är idag inte riktigt verkar genomtänkt (åtminstone inte för den klasstorleken som var i år då det mesta bara blev pannkaka). Ett annat upplägg vore trevligt med mindre presentationer (annan redovisningsform än rapport + presentation -- kanske en poster motsv.) och obligatoriska föreläsningar. Inga 4timmars pass utan rast tack.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- The finance cource should be made much more practical» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Applied industrial ecology and Environmental management should be combined into one single course. They are relevant fields, but not relevant enough to have their own courses! This would also make room for a more societal course.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- 1. Interaction Design Project - there is no good structure and the teacher is incompetent (he does not know even the simplest computer related things) and does not take the course seriously. 2. Interaction Methodology - why did we not get any grading guidelines, and why the hell were we graded by someone outside the course and not the main techer!?» (Yes (1 to 2))
- The advanced polymer course has not been very good so far, not that much new information compared to the first polymer course.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Physical Computing and Ubiquitous Computing need better defined criteria for grading.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Interaction design methodology, The goals and keystones are really vague, the evaluation standard is not consist with the lecturer"s content Game engine, The teacher didn"t show that he have made efforts in this course» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Materials Selection and Design: The course should not only deal with selecting a suitable material for a given task, but also the other way round. One material is available, what can be done with it, judging from its properties?» (Yes (1 to 2))
- geotechnics is a very interesting course. However the way of teaching it and explained its contents is not the most adequated» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Matter, Space & Structure Master programmet var nog det sämst organiserade jag någonsin gått på Chalmers. Det ställdes extremt höga krav på oss studenter, men Morten Lund tog inget som helst ansvar och kom ständigt sent till föreläsningar handledningstillfällen med mera. Morten är en bra lärare när han väl är på plats, men han är så extremt upptagen hela tiden att han sällan är det. Allt organiserande av kursen fick göras av oss studenter eller bestämdes allt eftersom med mycket kort varsel. Projekten var mycket korta och många kände sig extremt stressade då vi på två veckor förväntades prestera vad man normalt sett gör på en månad. Det är då extra frustrerande att kursadministrationen inte alls tar något ansvar eller alls fungerar. Jag har nu bytt till Housing invention ARK 136 och är nöjd med den. ARK146 Architectural Conservation and transformation var också en extremt dålig kurs. Inger Lise Syversen har ingen som helst kompetens att leda den kursen och det var allmänt förvirrat. Det kändes inte som att någon i klassen förstod några av de uppgifter i fick under kursen då de var mycket vagt formulerade och skrivna på dålig engelska. Alla föreläsningar behandlade i princip samma sak, nämligen Unescos World Heritage List. Detta framgick dock inte när man valde kursen. Vad de flesta trodde att de valde var en kurs om byggnadsvård, hur man varsamt tar hand om befintlig bebyggelse, men om det fick vi knappt veta något alls. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- knowledge and Learning in Organizations» (Yes (1 to 2))
- The VEF course should be revised a lot.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- UNIX,I think it need a better teacher and i think the UNIX is much important in DS.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- PLM !!!! Worst course in my life!» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Advanced sketching needs a remake. The combination of typography and sketching in the same course prevents student from attending both. Also the "class room" should be changed to something that can at the very least accommodate the students in the course. Most of the practical input was lost because the students were unable to remain in the vicinity of the teacher while sketching. The photoshop part on the other hand was very well done and should remain as it is today. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- advance topic in network and distributed systems, wireless network» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Game design course, really silly and not important at all.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Molecular electronics» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Modeling and Simulation (Professor has to improve teaching skills) Hybrid vehicles and Control (Course too basic)» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Safety track is really weak and diverse and not managed by a sophisticated person or maybe a professor, mats svensson is in the margin. Sweden is famous in safety of vehicles, but safety track in automotive engineering of chalmers, is aweful.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- BOM050 - Organisational project management BOM090 - Knowledge and learning in project organisations should be heavily revised, key word would be heavily. As a resource investment from the student perspective, there is minimal value in the return. Study the courses suggested above and try to incorporate that in the modules. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Wireless Networks and Source Coding.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Surface and Nanophysics: a very interesting subject but the structure of the course is not good at all. That course should really be remade from the beginning. It isnt reasonable to have 4 h of presentations after a 4 h lecture. A different structure is very much recommended, for example: one large project about some topic and then some sort of quizes each week. Also more feedback on the presentations and reports are needed.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Courses in the "Building Performance" part of the program» (Yes (1 to 2))
- The Simulation of Complex System course could be improved» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Modelling and problem solving» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Environmental system analysis» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Tailored Materials was too many teachers and 14 different topics and there was no red wire through the hole course. Hard to reach the goal here.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Erik Ahlgrens course, Energy Systems modelling and planning. Not the weekly excercises, they were fine. But the LECTURES... they were non-existant or just plain worthless.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Modelling and problem solving» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Managing developing projects. More hands-on, teach about being a project manager. Have multiple small cases (be a project manager during this and that stage of a project), so you can learn by doing.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- The Electric Drives (I) course, had covered many different subjects, which we had already studied some of them in our Bachelor. So I think it would be much better if for example the parts about DC machines or Synchronous machines (which we had already studied before) would be removed, and instead there would be more focus on new subjects such as core design or ... . The course Power Electronic Application is a very tough courseand covers a lot of subjects. Therefore I was not able to study it in the short period of one quarter. Therefore I decided to not study it and instead focus more on my other course in that quarter. I think it would be better if this course was not this much tough, so that I was able to study and pass it.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- traffic and urban planning, engineering geology» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Interaction Design Methadology - it was unclear what exactly we were supposed to be learning. Most students coming from non-design backgrounds, including myself, found this course difficult to grasp. Interaction Design Project - the theme should not be mandatory. It should be possible (and made clear that it is possible) to pursue any project students are interested in as long as it relates to interaction design.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Tailored materials should be removed and Engineering composites needs very very heavy revision.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- The introduction course should be mandatory for foreign students and voluntary for Swedes that want to brush up their VHDL.» (Yes (1 to 2))

- hybrid vehicle coarse could be revised» (Yes (1 to 2))
- The PLM course was not well organized.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Technical Acoustics 2. Has not been supervised good and shouldn"t be so freely (and easy for teacher) that is now.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- The course Material Performance was almost completly repetition of the bachelor course "Byggnadsmaterial".» (Yes (1 to 2))
- I think Environmental Systems Analysis should be revised, especially in the manner of examination, which seems to be based on memorisation of lists. This is a turn-off for engineers and results in a lack of understanding and disrespect for the subject. The project associated with Engineering Geology was very time consuming and should perhaps include some kind of point basis. In addition, the project was introduced as an important, real-world activity, but then became a writing activity that ended in a poorly attended presentation (no professors).» (Yes (1 to 2))
- physical distribution, bara repetition av en tidigare » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Den med arkitekterna, helt värdelös» (Yes (1 to 2))
- environmental management. Applied industriable ecology. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- The sustainability course (1:st quarter). There is no substance in the content. » (Yes (1 to 2))

- Modern manufacturing processes - way too easy and general. make tougher and increase the project size. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- The purpose of the course Research by Design was quite unclear, and perhaps it could be useful but felt to me out of context and less than concrete. The course architectural competitions as well provided few useful lectures and absolutely no feedback to perhaps 75% of the students, making it almost a complete waste of time for many. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Internet technology needs to be better.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Definatley the MOP course. Maybe to some extent the Six Sigma Balck Belt also. The subject and aim is good but the education in class are lacking.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Freight transports systems and Management of physical distribution should be heavily(!) revised.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- The teacher in Power System Analysis should be replaced, I´,m sorry but nether of the swedish students could understand his english, it is very poor. Thats why I left that course, which I regret now, cause I like power systems and might work with it in the future.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Environmentally adapted product development Did not contribute to any skills that couldn"t have been done without taking the course Course goals vague Grading system unsatisfactory for Swedish students (U/G) compared to exchange students (3,4,5) I wish I hadn"t taken the course - waste of time» (Yes (1 to 2))
- The medicine for the engineer, can be shortened to one quarter. And the eHealth, I hope that there can add some lab instead of rare lectures.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Advanced Classical Physics and Quantum Field Theory. In my opinion Per Salomonsson shouldn"t give lectures. It is especially detrimental since these courses are very important for the programme.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Advanced Form Design 1» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Internet Technology» (Yes (1 to 2))
- radio and microwave engineering, radar systems and applications» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Vehicle dynamics needs to be more applied. Like using Lotus Raven or Adams etc.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- The Interaction Design Methodology course was a joke, horribly administrated. The examinating teacher (who wasn"t present at all in the course except for the last week) totally failed at communicating the goals of the course, what she would be judging and the requirements for passing.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Remove the course: Management of Physical Distribution. The course had a lot of repetitive topics from other previous courses of the Supply Chain Management Program and the teachers were not engaged in the subject.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- The course `Heat and Moisture Engineering` needs to be revised. It had too many lectures and needs a clearer focus and plan. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Research by design - time could be spent on a more relevant coure/ course could be made more relevant? Building design laboratory - .» (Yes (1 to 2))
- To much image courses, we specify on the track that concerns image!» (Yes (1 to 2))
- I think it is a lot that is repitition in advanced polymer technology that is given i this period if you have taken the material course in K3 and the polymer technology course last fall.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Those students who are not choosing to continue with the "building performance design" specialisation should not have to take a repitition course in building physics! Remove "Heat and maoisture engineering" from the list of mandatory courses.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Distribution networks» (Yes (1 to 2))

- digital control.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Source Coding Wireless Networks» (Yes (1 to 2))
- The introduction course felt too basic.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Human Centered Design has much too work in it for a 7,5 point course, and the learning outcome isn"t that high.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- building in society, » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Electric Drives I needs to be treated in more depth, is a very light course. Of course is usually one of the first ones people take and maybe you try to make it easier in order to get adjusted in a better way to the Master program but still it needs to treat more about induction machines and synchronous machines. The labs on Power Electronics Devices and Applications needs to be better supervised and guided.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- I think that many of the courses repeat a lot from previous courses, so the time could probably be spent more effective» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Advanced Topics in NDS was a good idea that was carried out badly. The exam did not manage to represent the whole course and focused mostly on the part of the course that the creator of the exam was responsible for, while skipping other subjects.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- computations in mechanics Foundations to prabablility theory» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Data acquisition and handling in systems biology should be removed or changed!» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Intro to Communication to Engineering has a very demanding course. Also, wireless comunication demands are NOT compatible with other courses. I think the courses should require fairly an equal level of studies.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Environmental System Analysis-Revise GIS-Improve » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Environmental Management and Applied industrial Echology should be revised. » (Yes (1 to 2))
- advanced theory and methodology» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Environmental Systems Analysis. (Not removed, but revised)» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Safety and Hybride» (Yes (1 to 2))
- The compulsory courses in the MBIO programme should be removed. It should be more like the chemistry and bioscience master programme, you should be able to choose your own courses among the offered ones.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- ESMP, Sustainable development» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Some compulsory courses, Bio-nano science for information processing, Semiconductor Device and circulates (needs real teacher) » (Yes (1 to 2))
- The way the "wireless networks" course is organized makes it one of the most pointless courses I have taken.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Applied industrial ecology» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Technical acoustics 2: Including practical project work with simulations. HRSV: More related to practical usage.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- The course "Energy Systems Modelling and Planning" arrives too late in the year to be really useful. Indeed, most of the concepts have already been treated in previous courses (Sustainable Development, Sustainable Energy Futures, Industrial Energy Equipment). The goals should be updated to not focus only on how to make simulations with "what if" questions, but rather on enunciating what kind of decisions should be taken to improve systems.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- SEA » (Yes (1 to 2))
- Wireless networks course should have the curriculum stated in the Student portal course description - with quizzes and everything. It is now changed to something completely else-basically a soft-skills course which anyone can take.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Technical Acoustics II, Human Response to Sound & Vibration (very interesting but not deeply studied), BAC more practical and in general more general feedback » (Yes (1 to 2))
- BOM050 Organisational project management have some serious problems. This was not on master level... It felt like we just did work for the teacher. Provided info. to her research! » (Yes (1 to 2))
- VEF» (Yes (1 to 2))
- The Studio should be heavily revised» (Yes (1 to 2))
- Passiv Safety var ingen höjdare, fokuserade på helt fel saker, Borde vara tekniken i centrum istället för att lära sig alla latinska namn på benen i kroppen.» (Yes (1 to 2))
- When i read Software Architecture it was quite bad. Not really relevant and out dated material. I know they have changed the course now so I hope it"s better. A lot of courses need new teachers that are up to date with modern technologies. Some courses gets the impression they use materials from the "stone age". » (Yes (3 to 4))
- Tyngdpunkten borde flyttas från miljö och vattenkurser till geoteknik/geologi. Flera perioder har inte erbjudit kurser som varit relevanta för en blivade geotekniker, och många har läst kurser de egentligen inte alls vill i brist på annat. » (Yes (3 to 4))
- CAD-course should be remade, PLM better back up from staff, adcanced design materials (i don"t know if i learned anything during this course).» (Yes (3 to 4))
- More emphasis creating solutions in the ergonomic courses. As it is today the course ends more or less when the problems are found. A relevant technical course, today they are mostly chosen with the aim to fulfill the formal goals for the degree and to fit smoothly into the schedule.» (Yes (3 to 4))
- - Energy Systems Modelling and Planning - Sustainable Development - Computational Fluid Dynamics for Chemical Engineers» (Yes (3 to 4))
- Higher standard needed in modeling and simulation and applied mechatronics. Would be good with some more courses with mechatronic/control topics in study period 4 year 1» (Yes (3 to 4))
- Biological Physics» (Yes (3 to 4))
- Leadership and Communication, Building in society, International projects, Strategic Management, Managing organizations in the construction industry» (Yes (3 to 4))
- The course in intercultural communication did not qualify to be held at this level. (No course literature, just a bunch of group discussions about the participants" previous experiences. The thesis we wrote ended up in nothing as we weren"t provided with much of a theoretical framework to build it on.) The introduction course was based on the same thesis so that was 6 credits granted to us "for free". I also believe that many students dropped out due to the fact that the program started out with softer topics while the subjects they were interested in (economy, law, logistics) did not appear until later. (Don"t get me wrong, I"m a keen believer in softer topics and I realize the importance of such notions in the world of maritime management. I do, however, believe that such courses should be elective and held at an appropriate academic level.) The human factors course was far better but otherwise the same arguments apply. Risk management was a disaster but I"ve heard rumors that this has been rectified. I sincerely hope so since risk management is more or less the heart and soul of modern shipping. Otherwise the courses have been just great! » (Yes (3 to 4))
- Software architecture, SPLE, Programming paradigms and Algorithms» (Yes (3 to 4))
- The compulsory courses needs to be inproved.» (Yes (3 to 4))
- software architecture(just bad), programming paradigms, algorithms (should be electable instead)» (Yes (3 to 4))
- programming paradigm Software leadership and quality management developing computer based system in teams» (Yes (3 to 4))
- Software Architecture, Programming Paradigms, Algorithms» (Yes (3 to 4))
- Architecture classes so far have suffered severely from, hazy aims and goals, lack of focus, lack of proper support from teachers, lack of experience/knowledge of the subject matter from teachers, very little or wrong written information, colliding schedules, final critiques without proper competence present etc. etc.» (Yes (3 to 4))
- The only course titled "applied mechatronics" is too basic for the master"s level and is basically a repetition of even lower-bachelor level material. the course "real-time control systems" needs some revision to fulfill the stated goals of the course. the course "modelling and simulation" in the first quarter is a good course in nature but the presentation of the course should be heavily revised. The course "robotics and robotic systems" doesn"t offer enough information for a master-level course. The work load for the course "applied signal processing" is too much.» (Yes (3 to 4))
- 1. Introduction to electronic system design 2. Methods for electronic system design and verification 3. Electronic system design project» (Yes (3 to 4))
- Courses by Phil» (Yes (3 to 4))
- Mandatory courses must be relevant for all students. Biopolymers and biocomposits is only relevant for people focusing on biomaterials. Of even higher importance, remove courses that are only or mainly repetion of the first three years, such as data aquisition and handling in systems biology. Let these courses be optional, so that students with a different background can take them. » (Yes (3 to 4))
- Material performance, Structural systems - design and assessment, Heat and moisture engineering.» (Yes (3 to 4))
- Interaction Methodologies and HCD» (Yes (3 to 4))
- Structual Systems: Only good part was the introduction on snow and wind load etc. The group work doesn"t give anything and "conceptual design" might be a good idea but is shit without experience (Basically everyone is just guessing stuff) Material Performance: Remove it, everything has already been taught in "Byggnadsmaterial". Heat and Moisture: THE WORST COURSE IN MY FIVE YEARS AT CHALMERS! Remove it or completely rearrange it..» (Yes (3 to 4))
- Biomedical Instrumentation» (Yes (3 to 4))
- Source coding: the projects should carry weight Multimedia and video communication: Lectures should be improved. Antenna Engineering: Not suitable for MPCOM, the lectures are not good at all.» (Yes (3 to 4))
- "Building in society" really really really needs to be revised content wise, find some relevance and brush up the lectures. If there is a common thread in the course it is really well hidden. The "Design, processes and management" have not had any lecture worth participating in, I went to the first four or five without learning anything, true story. Totally waste of my time, this is not what I want to spend my CSN-loan on. Waste waste waste, really need to be revised. Keep the group assignment. But really, revise the lectures, piece of crap. "Knowledge and learning in organization" are a bit too soft, the seminars would do good if there was a moderator to guide the discussions and foster a good seminar routine. Also the seminars are a bit too close to each other regarding deadlines for seminar hand-ins.» (Yes (3 to 4))
- Architecture Advanced Theory and Methodology, Architectural Competitions, Research By Design, Sustainable Development in the Design Professions. » (Yes (3 to 4))
- The mandatory courses within the program i.e. data acquisition, biopolymers and bioreactors need revision. Maybe there should be more room for "track courses" instead.» (Yes (3 to 4))
- Design and construction Project Management should be strongly revised. International Project Management could really be extended, the things we learnt could have been seen in 1 week. » (Yes (3 to 4))
- Env and water courses» (Yes (3 to 4))
- There should be more to choose between in the small elective courses like Design Project Magagement etc. The theory/method/master preparation cource had good intentions but wasn"t that helpful and interesting.» (Yes (3 to 4))
- 1-Method for Electronic design 2- Project Electronic system design» (Yes (3 to 4))
- Applied mechatronics - Lacks structure today. Finite element simulation in design - make it even more applied. Advanced Computer aided design - Update the lecture content.» (Yes (3 to 4))
- Heat & Moisture Engineering.(it is absolutely useless in all aspects) Structural Systems.(I had such a course in the first year of my bachelor degree. I believe it was too basic) Geotechnics Engineering.( I had two such courses in my bachelor degree. In a country such as Sweden with such an advanced technology and knowledge in soil mechanics, I expected more than this from Geotechnics engineering course. It was all repetition not only for me but also for some of my Swedish friends )» (Yes (3 to 4))
- I don"t get what the HVAC course has to do with this programme, it should at least be elective. Make combustion engineering or a SES-based CFD-course compulsory instead. All of the courses given by "Heat and power" should be revised not to contain any chemistry or chemical industry based knowledge.» (Yes (3 to 4))
- The level of difficulty is differing a lot between the courses in the MP. I would say that e.g. the Digital Control course is too difficult and the Global Chemical Sustainability is too easy. I don"t think these should be included in the semi-mandatory courses...» (Yes (3 to 4))
- yes the course I took in Machine learning was overlap with many other fields student!!then there was no application for Bioinformatics in that course!!this course should be more specific and it should be obligatory! The Matematical Modeling course that we have as a obligatory is a kind of heart of this program!it was not that coherent! the course Data aquisiton and Data handeling in systems biology should be obligatory for our program!and that course also was very mp3 I mean they wanted to just cover most part of the systems biology rather than dealing with course goal!on the other hand there is many topics in that course like clustering,modeling,flux balance analysis and so on that we have them in our other cources like Large scale data analysis and Metabolic Engineering course!then if these overlaps do recognize each course can be more practical and useful than this» (Yes (3 to 4))
- 1.Economics of innovation 2.Technological change & industrial transformation 3.R&D strategy and organization » (Yes (3 to 4))
- 1) Heat and Moisture should be heavily revised for the future. It contains too many subjects from previous years. 2) FEM basics, should be more practical! No learning outcome- just plain mathematics! 3) Advanced building physics: The goals were not at all well described and the course was not administrated well- messy. Very little learning outcome! 4) Applied Structural Dynamics: Should be held at the Structural Engineering in order to keep the relevance: No learning outcome, just plain mathematics! Steel Structures: Proper course material is needed! Messy course. » (Yes (3 to 4))
- I think the courses from the Building Performace Design branch should be revised. Both "Heat and moisture engineering" and "Advanced Building Physics" lacked organization and qualitative teaching. The course goals were difficult to understand in both the courses. I think Steel structures should revise the course material, it was only relevant for students attending all of the lectures. Since it is not compulsory to attend the lectures it would be useful with a proper course book.» (Yes (3 to 4))
- Building in Society, Strategic Management, Environmental management» (Yes (3 to 4))
- Financial management Leadership and communication International projects» (Yes (3 to 4))
- Modelleringskursen under MP.åk 1 är katastrofalt dålig då den saknar syfte och har inget nyskapande i sig. Allt har man sett i tidigare kurser. Remove! ESA, dvs miljökursen under samma läsperiod MP. åk 1. Bra struktur men utan verklighetsförankring, mer fokus på MKB. Denna borde inte vara obligatorisk, byt ut mot mer pedagogisk miljökurs med fokus på miljö i projekt och förbättring i branschen, t.ex hur tänker man miljö som civilingenjör? » (Yes (3 to 4))
- my opinions: research by design - remove, did not understand the purpose of the course, vague directions, a waste of time. advanced theory and methodology - should be more connected to the following master thesis. design, management and processes - should be more theoretical instead of another student project.» (Yes (3 to 4))
- Multimedia Communication Applied Signal Processing Source Coding» (Yes (3 to 4))
- The 3 mandatory courses. » (Yes (3 to 4))
- Sustainable Development and Sustainable Energy Futures should be comprised to one course. It feels likte taking the same course twice even though it"s the same institution that owns the course. Energy Systems Modeling and Planning is not good. Simulation programs are interesting but the admninistration has been very bad. Erik tries to do things right but does not suceed very well... I appreciate to learn about LEAP and MARTES but the assignments them selves need to be improved.» (Yes (3 to 4))
- Computer Graphics, Simulation Engines, Artificial Intelligence» (Yes (3 to 4))
- Nearly all the project courses should be revised into something that more effictively teaches something. In the projects there were basically no valuable feedback.» (Yes (3 to 4))
- HRSV, BAC, ATA.» (Yes (3 to 4))
- IEFS, DTIM» (Yes (3 to 4))
- compulsory courses, there should be some degree of freedom» (Yes (3 to 4))
- Environmental systems analysis should understand that not everyone want to learn how to do an environmental investigation but want to learn how to interpret an environmental rapport. Other courses that are mandatory should be optional. » (Yes (3 to 4))
- there are enough options in the program to choose and some of them are like each other that are repeat in different name» (Yes (3 to 4))
- Internet Technology: the teaching is not that much Real time Systems: they are using Ada which is obsolete, use C programming language instead, and if the teacher does not know it, let him learn. Distributed Systems II: The course is dry with no real life applications such as distributed services, cloud computing, etc.... Multimedia and video communication: The instructor does not know how to teach at all and her English is bad and not clear. Advanced Distributed System: Is this really a course or a waste of time!!! the course should cover advanced topics in distributed system but it does none of these. It is a complete waste of time.» (Yes (3 to 4))
- The CFD course should be divided into two separate parts, as it is now it"s too heavy, alternatively give 15 credits because now it"s very hard to have a course parallel with this one. The Design of Energy Systems (DIEE)course could be more prioritated. Everyone thought that the IES (Industrail Energy Systems) course was great and got a little bit disappointed in the DIEE course. But it was still good, but i felt that it wasn"t the "pride" of VOM as the IES course is. The MTS courses to chose from are not good. The MTS coarse was a waist of time.» (Yes (3 to 4))
- TEK320, TEK215, TEK 350 were completely useless.» (Yes (3 to 4))
- ALL courses that are obligatory to the program are too basic! The first three weeks of each course is a waste of time for all student comming from Industrial Engineering at Chalmers (at least 50% of the students). The workload is still heavy but we do not learn anything! If the external students cannot follow on the same level a preperation course for them should be added. It is not acceptable that Chalmers choose to waste to much of the own students" time. Thus Change all courses and put them on a proper masters" level!» (Yes more than 5)
- Do not force masters students to take courses together with second or first year undergraduates.» (Yes more than 5)
- There are a couple of courses which overlap, models of computation, types for programs and proofs, programming language technology for example all go thru lambda calculus, but none of them deals with the subject thoroughly. I also think that many of these courses intersect with each other, but the way they are presented you don"t get the feel for this unity. For example models of computation explains turing machines, the automata course covers push down automats, the types course covers lamda calculus -- these are all, according to the church-turing thesis, equivalent... The models course stresses this fact, but it isn"t mentioned in the automata nor types course i believe. An other example, turing machines, complexity classes from the algorithms course and recursion theory... again no link between these course is presented. Abstract algebra, automata, i"m sure the regex algebra forms some kind of algebraic structure. Functional programming and types and the connection to logic via the curry-howard iso again, no link presented until the types course (which is very likely the last of those three that you will take)... I"m sure there are more intersections between the courses (and fields) which i"m not aware of. I"d really like to see some effort trying to give this unified picture of the computer science field, perhaps as a separate course, but even better as part of all courses.» (Yes more than 5)
- The whole programme needs to be revised.» (Yes more than 5)
- All courses are proper for bachelor students. Master students need to be more specialized!» (Yes more than 5)
- Ta bort alla miljökurser!!! Man läser miljömastern om man är intresserad av miljö.» (Yes more than 5)
- Everything but CFD and Advanced Chemical Reaction Engineering» (Yes more than 5)
- Overall they should be more difficult.» (Yes more than 5)
- Electric drives I was terrible. Not deep enough. And ALL courses that utilizes Power Point should be rethought. It"s really worthless to watch. Power System Analysis probably were a really good course once, then it used the lecture notes on OVERHEAD! Handwritten and unreadable. It"s better to write of the black board, then you are able to gain the information. In my opinion.» (Yes more than 5)
- The Artificial Intelligence course that was offered as part of the program was of no use to game design. Learning about natural language processing was not useful. The simulation engines course is trying to cover too much in too little time. It overlaps the domains of the computer graphics and what should be the artificial intelligence courses awkwardly. The course needs to be seriously rethought and its ambitions lowered. As it is, the course teaches students how to produce a lousy amalgamation of existing software. The 30 credit Interaction Design Project course should be eliminated. The program has not yet provided nearly enough foundation (at least for the game design track) to place this program where it is. Perhaps if it was a full time, 30 credit course in period 4 it would make more sense. » (Yes more than 5)
- Most courses could made heavier, more information, more study, we are getting the 7.5 credits too easy.» (Yes more than 5)
- All of the four courses in the first semester. The first course in the second semester Building design... Financial management. » (Yes more than 5)
- The ESA-course must be more intresting» (No)
- Not of the ones I choose.» (No)
- The only thing which one can mind is that there should exist more courses to have the choose and that one can specialze still more ... as already mentioned above.» (No)
- I took English for Engineers (as extra course) and I really do not liked that course at all. I think the weakest course in Chalmers. I have taken numerous courses at different departments, but only English has really disappointed me.» (No)
- seems well structured.keep on!!» (No)
- The courses themselves and the connection between the courses are both very good. Well done.» (No)
- » (No)
- There are som work to be done with a few of them but in a few years time i think that they will worke very well.» (No)
- I am not at all interested in the robotics courses, but since they are electable I suppose they can remain. » (No)
- "heavily" you killed this question.» (No)
- The order of the courses looks a bit strange : we start with the most specific (IES) and finish with the most general (ESMP), with something inbetween in the middle (H&P). I"ve understood lots of things from IES with the H&P course. The opposite order would seem more logical.» (No)
- All courses within this program were reasonable and I didn"t feel any lack of the courses.» (No)
- I chose additional electable courses from other departments that would suit my studying goal, and I didn"t choose those that seemed to be of no use for me, so I don"t think any course should be removed, but there might be such courses.» (No)
- i want that the radio and microwave course be better than this.the teachers are not,really are not good...» (No)
- in general the courses are ok, but some teachers are not great in eng, which makes it sometimes difficult to follow. first years autum was though, especially the 2.nd study period.» (No)
- I have been on exchange the first year of the programme and haven"t taken any courses at Chalmers yet.» (No opinion)

34. In what way do (or could ) Chalmers library support you in your Masters Programme studies

- I mostly use E journals.»
- I think the open time of the library should be increased.»
- databases, e-sources, computers, working environment»
- more book would be a good place to start ... but not necessary, because GU"s library is close to what Chalmer"s library doesnt have they do. I think the library is just fine. »
- by producing resource that are introduced by teachers»
- Erbjuda gammla övningstentor, det är väldigt krångligt att få tag på dem genom sina examinatorer och vissa är väldigt motsträviga. »
- But continuing to offer the great literature offering through databases.»
- Bättre online-resurser. (De är bra idag, men bättre/mer/fler är aldrig fel)»
- no opinion»
-
- They could have an introduction at the beginning of the master program for those students that haven"t studied at Chalmers earlier.»
- Using the online databases and e-books»
- Make a search engine where I can search for keywords in all the databases/e-journals available instead of having to go through every database/journal with one search word»

- announce their existence»
- By keeping more copies of the course litterature»
- The library has got a lot of great databases and other e-resources which is not communicated in a good way. I think it would be good with a well planned introduction to the library when you start the master program. A course or lecture well adapted to the needs with a good, well thought through message.»
- Articles and books»
- Good source of literature»
- interlib»
- It is easy to search for relevant books and articles.»

- Make it easier to find relevant tools, frameworks and methods to apply on different problems »
- have database search courses more often»
- It would be good if the Library could provide us with the new standard tables in the field of Acoustics.»
- Searching articles and lending books»
- Mostly during the master thesis work when it comes to finding relevant literature. I like the e-books that are made available as well.»
- The support is really good. But in most cases it is not needed, since there is already good material pointed out by the teacher (online or books). I specially like the ability to look into e-book collections online, not being forced to borrow or buy a specific book to just look up one chapter or so.»
- books, CD and DVD"s»
- Chalmers library should be joined with the University library at the University of Gothenburg. They should use the same library card and then you could be able to borrow books from all disciplines and pick them up at Chalmers. This is important since many of the subjects in my program connect to economics and then you have to go to ghe economics library.»

- having more ebooks available»
- It was great to have all of the required resources provided for us, all the time in the library. Plus that, the inter-library relations here are really admirable for me. But 3 very important sides of support were totally forgotten by them: Swedish courses! Swedish course! and Swedish courses that were never held sufficient to the demands.»
- Books, Journals, Electrical materials.»
- well if I would have had any use of the library study rooms/tables as i hade during my Bachelor I would still use it but I have other better locations to study now.»

- More textbooks. To have MUCH more textbooks.»
- I think the library should be more involved during the bachelor years!!»
-
- Good study invironment before exams»
- Like the way there is a help for Math for undergraduates, there can be a provision made for graduate students too. Even a simple guidance as to where to find the resource in the shortest possible time.»
- Library timing is very short. It should be open till 11:00 PM or 12:00 PM.»
- It already does, especially the access to e-journals. Too bad that Harvard Business Review is gone now though.»
- nice way»
- don"t need it»

- well, it should have more resources I mean it should have more book(hard copy), because there only a few copy of book related to my program.»
- May be by having more course text books to give to students.»
- I get access to scientific articles.»
- A lot of the relevant material for us at CSALL is only available at the math library (not the main library). Because all the books from the old Datavetenskap library ended up there. The math library has very limited opening hours. Giving us 24/7 swipe card access to the library during closed hours, would be very helpful!»
- The current system is good»
- I do not even know what they have to offer me, so how can I answer this question? I use the library to pick up books from time to time, but that can barely be seen as using the chalmers library resources.»
- during the dissertation»

- I rarely use the library except for copying things. I usually buy books, and find articles online at for example "The Isi web of nowledge."»
- text books,research articles»

- The A-Library would need to be larger and have open longer. Perhaps a redesign of it in order to add more reading places.»
- Access to databases, as today.»
- I don"t know, I have no problem with finding information about the various subjects that I need.»
- easy access and good publication of new materials»
- quality of service could increase considerably by fixing the ebooks section. in some cases you can only download the contents pdf but you can"t access the chapters. in my case, i sent more than 10 emails but it seems that everytime i had a different tech support representative and i had to explain all the time what the problem was. in the end, i gave up and forgot about it.»
- Get license for databases dating further back in time. F.ex. during a background research I needed to get the scientific article containing the synthesis pathway for vat dye Indigo, [(Representation of indigo blue from Orthonitrobenzaldehyd). Baeyer, Adolf and Drewsen, Viggo. 2, München : Chem. Laborat. d. K. Akad. d. Wissensch., Copyright © 1882 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim, 2 December 1882]. Maybe some of these high impact publications could be collected in to a separate local database?»
- i am using chalmers library as my primary source, because i am picking books only from chalmers and i am not buying any book in any store..»
- in terms of providing articles and relevant e-books and books.»
- good as it is»
- Because we are doing projects and the most quick and effective way is to get information is to search on the internet. Only if it comes to something really scientific that I will go to the library for help.»

- I would like to say in almost every way in general.It fulfills all the students need. »
- more places to study, specially during exam weeks it could be very difficult to find places»
- Help you to know more about different databases. Difficult to know which ones to use.»
- by increasing the book bank»
- I access scientific reports at ACM and IEEE several times per month, and I believe that is made possible thanks to the library. However, I never make use of the library"s website in any way, since the ACM and IEEE websites are far superior. I also never go to the library because books and analog journals get outdated very fast with computer science.»
- Text books, reference resources»
- silent room,books,thesis»
- By providing the literature and compendium of courses more.»
- There must be more books of the courses taught. As the books are very expensive there is very»

- more e-books!!! at least the main book from every course should be available as e-book from library!!!»

- I use online resources by proxy-ing through the library for databases and encyclopaedias»
- providing ebook resource for course literature powerful database»
- Provides me with access to journals and e-books as well as good paper books»
- supply e-source»
- English course was useful. In the beginning of study, it was hard to manage online datebase of library. Small lecture or well illustrated manual for online search would be helpful.»
- access to the papers and sources needed»
- More business oriented databases. Harvard business review should be added! More group rooms!»
- the number of copies of books required for courses in this program rarely exceeds one! Most of the time it"s pointless to put a hold on a book since chances of getting that one copy before the course ends are very slim. therefore I can say the library has not been of much support when it comes to coursebooks.»
- Have more books(options) in the field of Power Electric which are actually useful to the courses we are reading now.»
- provide lots of relevant books»
- The access of article and e-book databases is very good!»
- books ebooks IEEE Xplore science direct papers»
- good, but sometimes with problems on accessing the articles.»
- ebook is very helpful»
- Provide a better system to get access to their database. It"s not complicated but it could be made easier. Did choose never because I"ve been there perhaps 4-5 times during my studies.»

- computer access, calm place to study.»
- The database, the books and the software support, like matlab.»
- Keep more course books!»
- Offers free access to the internet resources with scientific articles,»

- I used the libary to find articles and search in the databases. The libary could have one introduction for new master students how to use the resourses since there was many international student using wikipedia and similar webpages instead of using good sources of information.»
- Scientific articles»
- It was useful for my master thesis, and additionally as a source for extra-curiculum subjects studied in my spare time.»
- group rooms, litterature, papers»
- by giving me access to the IBM journal of research and development between year 80 to 93 that are missing for some odd reason. Or perhaps allow the access of earlier articles in IEEE explore, the theoretical advancements in recent years are mostly repetitions and reinventing theories that are more often than not already better documented in the past (< 1980)»
- Articles from databases»
- The only use I have of them is to find articles in the databases and to borrow books to see if they are good. Other than that I don"t see what purpose they should fulfill. I think that is good enough.»
- Literature search»
- i can get to know what is the most advantaged practice and theory»
- Chalmers Library Has only less number of Copies of Recomended books. Some of the Books are very expensive. So it good to have more copies or ebooks from recomended texts. »

- There are some journals and article that library do not subscribe for them and after request such article library wanna to pay for it !! Why?»
- I am fully satisfied. »
- provide more ebooks and have more books for subjects which have more number of students.»
- To be able to search the database! Look at other alternatives for example, ELIN@Skövde. Which searches all the good databases that you have on your site. But on the same time! Not as now, that you have to go through every single one of them to find what you search for. Its also good when you cant specify which area your "thing" is located in. »
- improve the energy related bibliography »
- I mainly use the e-journal/e-book resources, which i find excellent. However, the search functions are not great, so I usually locate articles using google and just use the library proxy to access them.»
- I used the library resources to search for literature for my courses, and articles for essays and for my thesis.»
- - with books ,ebooks ,softwares printing and copy services »
- by providing e-resources and important journals.»
- borrowing books... and i usualy read there»
- journals, books»
- Easier access to published technical reports (I found them very hard to find through the library web page and eventually turned to google instead).»
- The availability of scientific articles is excellent. But the webpage from where you find them is horrible to use. »
- Good source of information»
- The library staff are very competent and helpful in the search for relevant literature.»
- books, quiet study room »
- The hours assigned per student to book student rooms are not enough.»
- By providing more ebooks, as it is not very convenient to wait until a paper copy becomes available»
- if it has ability to access to the articles ,books and sources. »
- Printing. Far too little books to lend»
- The journals could be searched from library are helpful in my study. But hope the search system could be more advaced, since sometimes it took a lot of time to find out the most easy way to get the resource in the beginning! »
- Number of copies of important books should be increased. 5 copies for 60+ (sometimes 100) students is not enough.»
- Be open until 6»
- There is a load of available information and inspiration, and the librarians at the Architecture library are fantasticly skillful and helpful! I have only used the larger Chalmers library to get at quiet study environment a couple of times.»
- books computer thesis»
- Have a "database and article search brush-up-old-skills" lecture. Since we are searching for a lot of articles this is really welcomed to increase the accuracy in searches.»
- In my experience, library hours are a good indicator of academic excellence. The slim and often irregular hours at Chalmers seem to indicate that either a) students don"t have enough work to do, or b) the institution doesn"t take their work seriously. The library should be a valuable resource, but it is not a very nice place to work since desks are small and few, and it is usually too loud inside. And just some food for thought... I believe the library shortened their hours until 12 this friday not because of maintenance, or national holiday, but because of a parade, which doesn"t start until 6 hours later. I just wonder what our priorities are? »
- Limited quantity of books.»
- getting more journals available, especially those related social science.(or teach students how to use GU"s resources instead)»
- Higher demand on exchange students. They should know sufficient english and have broader knowledge, otherwise it is hard to collaborate with them»
- Mainly course books, I only use the library in bigger assignments that needs information outside the course topic.»
- For searching databases, finding relevant literature etc. Especially the web resources are good, with the ability gain access to pages for scientific publications like ieee and the likes.»
- Take in more literature relevant for students at the I-programs in management, economy etc. A lot of literature/articles we are recommended to read are only available to the handelsstudent and we do not get access. I have only got the answer that it depends on which student union you are registered at.»
- Search for literature»
- provide group rooms»
- With its enough books, Study rooms are comfortable, easily availability of the printers and there are some resources during exam time like ear closer not hear noise... »
- Information about patents. Information about materials.»

- Inform that they exist would be a good start.»
- Lending material from library, studying at library sometime.»
- Make as much as possible available through the web»
- really good book sources, but sometimes cannot easily get one because the popular book is always lent out.»
- The databases in the library are NOT user friendly and to complicated to use. I think most students just uses google instead. I have given my opinons to the personel at the library but they did not listen. They probably have good databeses with good inforamtion but since it"s so complicated to use most people don"t. »
- good to find facts in data bases»
- Many important books are not present in the library, they are usually in the math lib. but the math lib opens very few hours every week which makes it difficult to visit often. so it would be nice if the math lib opens more frequently or chalmers lib be willing to purchase books that are present in the math lib.»
- borrow textbooks, serve quiet studying place»
- text books must be held by a student for whole study period»
- Better information, ease of use.»
- It provides almost all the theoretical background that I use when writing reports etc. Good place to get sit and study for exams. »

- The education is layed out in such way, you are so guided, that you rarley need to use the library resources. Almost all projects and exercises do not require use of the library, reading of papers and so on, something I really miss. An exception from this was the course "Wireless Networks", where we, at last needed to actually do some research...»
- providing the necessary materials.»
- Provide more e-books which support the reading on mobile devices like cellphone, iPad, Kindle, etc.»
- mostly in writing projects»
- N/A»
- Support placement for self-studying»
- I have suggested a couple of times before. The library must have atleast 02 text books for each course, that should not be lent to students. these copies should remain in the library shelf, so that any one can go and get benifit of the resource. From the current practice, more than 70% students use to wait for the books occupied by other students during the course, even the exams are done. If we find a couple of books in the library, we can get maximum benifit from it, as everyone cannot buy his personal book.»
- (no opinion)»

- Its working fine»
- Borrowing books,using as study room»
- high quality reference books and free electronic published materials»
- Many good books and e-resources.»
- Very good electronic resources are available.»
- It depends on the year of study. During the first year, there was a limited use of available library resources, however, in the 2nd year it increased a lot. It should be improved more from the begining, I mean from the start of the study, courses should be designed such a way that it encourage use of those resources. A short course or lecture or some form of training could be commenced so that students would know how to use those resources efficiently. »

- Att hitta saker bland e-böcker och databaser för tidskrifter är ju närpå omöjligt! Nu använder jag det för att min kurs kräver det men annars undviker jag bibliotekets sökfunktioner för man hittar ändå inte det man söker. Och jag tror inte att mer information eller utbildning skulle hjälpa, det är helt enkelt ett dåligt system. »

I am very unhappy for your dicission and sorry to say that we cannot come to Sweden for study any more. You might have few students who are really rich, but even they will not consider to come in Sweden. Because, I know, those rich students in my country they prefer to study in USA, UK, Canada or AUS. Rest of the poor students like me, preffered choice was Sweden. Now our hope and dream to receive some well higher education is stopped. This tution fee is just like a SLAP from Sweden to us who are poor. Wish you good luck you rich people.»

- The introduction was very poor. Some activities the first days, to connect to the other students would have been very good. Unfortunately, some international students lack important preknowledge. In some courses this affects the teacheing and learning for the rest of us in a large extent. For example, why are there people in a course in advanced chemical reaction engineering who don"t even recognize the mass balance of an ideal reactor? Most students (swedish and international) has a high level and high motivation, but there are a few that have a large negative effect on the education.»

This tution fee is just like a SLAP from Sweden to us who are poor. Wish you good luck you rich people.» (?)
- It doesn"t feel like I"m a swede in sweden anymore, I could as well be an exchange student visiting India or China. It doesn"t feel like it"s one class, there isn"t any "we" in secure and dependable computing.» (No)
- Because I can not be a professional in Biomedical field and I just gained some feedbacks about its six tracks, nothing specialized in the first year!!» (No)
- The programme is to wide. I would like to study geotechnics/geology/traffic etc, not environment, chemistry, water etc. If I could have turned back time I would have studied at University of Lund.» (No)
- They lied on several things, such as what courses we could take. They should have recommend that it we are intressted in road engineering and infrastructure we should study at another school.» (No)
- I would do something completely different.» (No)
- This program was supposed to be a construction management program, or as the title claims "Design and construction Project management" which is even far more difficult to be handled because even best construction schools in the world don"t intend to cover design management, as it was claimed by this program"s title, in their curriculum. Nonetheless, the educations we got, if it can be called education as it looked like an immature not profoundly planned program, did not have half of the credibility of even a Generic Project management program and was not by no means able to give any particular competence to its students in terms of being recently graduated "Construction Managers". » (No)
- Because I would like to study another program of which I did not knew, when I applied.» (No)
- I would have chosen the master-programme "IT Management" on Lindholmen» (No)
- Since it"s lack of management (something that was not mentioned before applying). Also there seem to be far more interesting and better Master-programmes at the IT-university or GU but there was no information, or even a note, about those.» (No)
- It does not deepen my previous knowledge, to make me prepared for PhD position which is my ultimate goal. Moreover I do not have the possibility to dedicate most of my time (i.e. from the start of my Master education) to research activities. » (No)
- Det är alldeles för brett! I princip finns tre huvudspår, väg, vatten och geo. Som valbara kurser finns endast miljökurser. Är man djupare intresserade av något av de tre ovanstående gebiten finns inga fördjupningskurser att välja. Jag som är intresserad av vatten har fått läsa exakt samma kurser som mina vänner som är intresserade av geo eller vägar.» (No)
- See answer to question 22. Especially the lack of proper support from teachers with a clear focus of what the course aims towards, colliding schedules and lack of clear written information on the tasks and projects have limited the time, effort and joy I can put into the actual work. It has been a very frustrating year. I love the subject matter but the total confusion and lack of focus have been largely detrimental both to my learning and my general well being.» (No)
- Things are going well» (No)
- Unstructional lectures and fuzzy goals. In some subjects the lectures just confusing and was not in any way helping during the labs sinsce they did talk about the same thing. The coperation with other students was horrible» (No)
- i like nanotech» (No)
- i think it is not so related to the biomedical engineering,because there are courses in this field which are not so useful in the future such as finding or doing a job» (No)
- bad structure, bad course coordinator, not enough interesting subjects and too small of a class» (No)
- The competence that i have learned is not one that companies search for...» (No)
- Some of the courses has been very boring..» (No)
- Not satisfying at all» (No)
- Now i find other programs more interesting» (No)
- there is no working future in comparison with communication or control or computer engineering as well as rare PhD vacancies at Chalmers :(» (No)
- I should have taken a program which is more programming oriented» (No)
- I had already taken the good courses of the programme, so I didn"t really have a reason to take this programme from the start... » (No)
- There are not any good prospects for getting a job after this education and i do not think it has given me enough practical experience. » (No)
- the quality of the program was poor, the teachers were always super busy with things not related to the courses and would not answer emails of students, they were mostly treating swedish students differently and as the result there was no way to use my established background in chalmers to go for higher education (phd) in our department because of all the 8 phd students in TD department, non of them is non-swedish!! that doesn"t mean that I don"t have the necessary qualifications, it just means that I have been discriminated!» (No)
- Mostly my fault, the topics did not match what I want to focus on. Networks & distributed systems or Integrated electronic system design would have been a much better match.» (No)
- automotive engineering has a little scope in field. less work being done and less jobs in this period of global recession.» (No)
- The programme cover a too wide spectrum of subjects. It would be better if there were one programme for geotechnics/geology etc and water/envirnoment etc. I would have chosen another university if I could have turned back time.» (No)
- Parts of the program is mindless repetition of knowledge already achieved, the mandatory courses are not in my field of interest and the program promotes formalism rather than actual knowlege, since I feel that the actual knowledge of a student seldom is considered.» (No)
- Because my expectation of the program was completely different,I thought I will get a knowledge specifically about networking(based on the programme website)but I still didn"t get any.» (No)
- more clear about my future career plan» (No)
- It is to much work and I think of school every waken hour. » (No)
- Most of the compulsory courses are a waste of time. So many management courses in it.» (No)
- This master programme was not giving me any new technical skills on a computer science level. I learned some electrical technical skills however.» (No)
- Föreläsningarna och kunskapsnivån har varit för låg. Alltför många av kurserna blev repetition för att uppdatera utbytesstudenterna. Tyvärr saknar föreläsarna kompetensen att föreläsa på engelska, mycket kunskap förloras. Jag hade valt ett masterprogram utanför Chalmers.» (No)
- The programme is too broad, it should be divided into several master programmes. » (No)
- The programme is too broad» (No)
- Matter Space skulle jag av ovan nämnda anledningar aldrig välja igen. Mådde väldigt dåligt hela hösten och kände mig hela tiden stressad och med en känsla av att man aldrig fick vara ledig (och det fick man inte heller då även vissa helger var schemalagda)och att aldrig räcka till. Housing Inventions trivs jag däremot bra på.» (No)
- I didn"t get what I was expecting from it. I was looking for a Master where I could learn more about fabrication processes, which I did learn in the first semester. But the second semester is unrelated with the first one. I was expecting to work for professors in order to have the possibility to apply the knowledge I acquired during classes and also earn some money, it turns out that is not a common practice.» (No)
- I have not learnt that much from the program. There has basically not been anything taught. I dont know if that is by philosophy or because of the lectureres not having experience/knowledge enough to teach. The program have focused mainly on projects. I like projects but the problem is that you learn a lot that you can never use again. With valuable feedback, actual citisism, and smart projects where the work which you do not learn from is minimized this could be improved. (And in projects you do a ton of work that you dont learn from so I think the program should be more careful when deciding to add a project to a course)» (No)
- This program dosen´,t meet the needsof the business world.» (No)
- I have a bachelor in engineering physics. I felt like I learn a lot during these years. But when I came to engineering mathematics I don"t feel like I learn as much any more. I don"t want to work with math as my main thing, but I would like to know about math when I work. This program don"t really let me be prepaired for working in real life. You could think that math and economics would be a fine mix, but we are not allowed to study economics in any way and get it in the program. I know we have 30 hp free to choose, but when it comes to master thesis I can"t choose a subject that includes alot of economics. I don"t want to be best in math, I want to apply the math in real life.» (No)
- I would not have come to sweden.» (No)
- It"s been one of the biggest mistakes in my life to choose this master programme » (No)
- I am not satisfied with elective courses. It is like spending two years for nothing. On the other hand, I have gained some skills about system design. » (No)
- To easy, not really any new courses. Quality/requirements are way to low.» (No)
- People studying for grades and not knowledge=no chance to have a life outside Chalmers when you study every hour awake. Also hard to keep a friendly climate.» (No)
- This programme was not at all what I thought it would be and the administration has been out of order with the programme coordinator. The work load has been extreme, non humane, and the studio has learned me no more than producing presentations of projects without ground in as short time as possible. No new knowledge. » (No)
- Because it didnt turn out exactly as i had imagined. I came into a master"s program just sharpen my skills relevant to the research i had wanted to do and so far that hasn"t happened.» (Probably not)
- becuase there is not so much chance to continue my studey here, since the subject is almost related to digital design (not analog)» (Probably not)
- Because I have leant too little! I would have chosen a completely different school for my maste"s program in order to develop more.» (Probably not)
- För mycket flum!» (Probably not)
- Too much work compared to the other Master programmes that I could have chosen. Free time has not been available. The climat in the class is very competitive for grades and with students at the programme with severe problems in communicating in English (or low/no knowledge about Management and Economics of Innovation) makes the study environment very bad. Please: Put in tests for the programme, both in English and knowledge about the subjects before letting people in, it would have made it so much easier. » (Probably not)
- Jag hade läst lösa kurser från flera olika program, då geo and water bara erbjuder ett begränsat antal relevanta kurser. » (Probably not)
- Because the best courses were optional. In many of the courses I did not learn to much.» (Probably not)
- Perhaps bad choice, perhaps it could be more interesting.. » (Probably not)
- The courses are not taught in the depth I would have liked. There are other courses in Chalmers which are rather good. I would have chosen another Masters within Chalmers as core courses were done rather poorly.» (Probably not)
- I"m very disappointed with the teacher/relation student. May be is just a cultural problem, or may be is just me, but it has made my studies so far much less productive than I expected, and my life as a student very unpleasant.» (Probably not)
- The programme did not help me go further.. Despite getting a degree i dont feel that i am more ready now for the industry than after finishing my bachelors!» (Probably not)
- It is to fuzzy and you learn very few hands on skills. I now would have choosen a more hands on master such as Sustainable Energy Systems.» (Probably not)
- would shoose aplied mechanics» (Probably not)
- Too slow, not enough new learning... Feels sometimes more like a repitition than a deepening of my Bachelor degree» (Probably not)
- Too low level on the courses. This program is not for people that have studied physics on bachelor"s level but for people who are new to physics.» (Probably not)
- other program, like comunication will be more suitable for me» (Probably not)
- Poor coordintation between the modules» (Probably not)
- My first priority was Communication Engineering. I couldn"nt get admission in that program. I was given admission in this program (it was 5th on my priority list).» (Probably not)
- this course should be able to deal with more biology stuffs» (Probably not)
- Not stimulating. You always get a 4 no matter how little you study. No interesting discussions in class, everybody is just concerned about the grade. A non-mixed class: either you only work with Swedish people and get a good grade or work with exchange students and get to sit and correct spelling most of your time ( I think that is bad considering that you learn a lot from exchange students). The same theories come back in every course, you learn about Porter"s five forces in almost all courses and you wonder if management is only about that.» (Probably not)
- As more stress of studies is towards concurrent and functional programming, not on making a good managers or architects » (Probably not)
- The courses are, with very few exceptions, at a lower level than the undergraduate courses. Most could be taken before starting the undergraduate level.» (Probably not)
- Poor administration and project evaluation. Very little time for feedback and revision.» (Probably not)
- Think there are better programmes.» (Probably not)
- The courses and the direction of the programme wasn"t quite what I had first expected.» (Probably not)
- My interests have changed since I started.» (Probably not)
- Because I feel that some of the courses is poorly structured and that there seems to be bad communication between the courses regarding what they teach (it is better, trough my opinion, to read one subject more intesive and deep than scratch the surface several times in different courses), I had hoped for more practical practise in Leadership/management and communicational skills.» (Probably not)
- Everything here is perfect, except that i don"t have a lot of time digesting the course material. maybe i do my best to pass the course, but definetely i don"t enjoy my studying here. before i want to start enjoying it, the quarter is over! i didn"t like the quarter-based system here at Chalmers what-so-ever.» (Probably not)
- The university does not enforce high enough standards and the administration of the program is poorly structured. I don"t feel that the university is ambitious enough, which is probably a reflection on poor (or absent) leadership. » (Probably not)
- Few core subjects could be considered which are missing and few statistical courses could be made electives instead being obligatory » (Probably not)
- because in the second year me and same people as me that had chosen the production management didn"t have a support from mechanical department and should always go to VASA building and mix themselves with the courses offered in other departments. after passing those courses we are not familiar with the professors, we wont have referees, we wont have master theses and mostly we dont have identity that to which field are we experts.» (Probably not)
- I belive that what I have learned through this program I could have learned through other programs as well while getting a more general degree.» (Probably not)
- Personally willing to studying software programming.» (Probably not)
- It didnt open new opportunities to continue (my education/career)» (Probably not)
- Would like to have a more distinct alignment and more computational courses.» (Probably not)
- It is better and more useful for those who have biological background. » (Probably not)
- I simply think it has not been good enough. » (Probably not)
- The administration has been fuzzy. Lecturers are not engaged/do not try do lectures interesting. Demands are low, expectations are low (pygmalion effect).» (Probably not)
- 1-it should decided between bioinformatics and systems biology!each of these field are heavy enough for a Master program 2-if they want to cover both side and give more flexibility for student to choose a track after a semester which is really good they have to have a systematize program for tracking students for choosing a core track!thers is no good support for this! 3-many of the lectures are incoherent!they should detect good teachers and focuse on them rather than coming too many people in each course! 4-the lab parts are almost like coocking!except the KEMP labs in first quarter and Dimitri labs for MATLAB and also GUATHAM! 4-the most important thing is that you dont feel any entity for this program!there is no active website for pogram!I mean if you walk through the Matematic building you can not find any sign for Bioinformatics and Systems biology!I think this is the same for many programs,but this is very important to have entity at web and also at school 5-this is interdeciplanry program and it should be more gust lecture and also comminucation with important institute in europe and the world! » (Probably not)
- I think the practical work in this programme is less.......it should be increased.......otherwise its ok» (Probably not)
- The program was not designed well, and also the avalabilty of thesis project was very limited. I should say it opens less door to your future opportunities.» (Probably not)
- the program is not well organized » (Probably not)
- It is what i am intrested» (Probably not)
- Because it is not well adjusted to the swedish market and few companies know of it.» (Probably not)
- The structure was not what the name says. Are all the electronic systems Digital? Are all the electronic systems less than GHz Frequency? It would be better to change the name in CAD or change the syllabus please!!!» (Probably not)
- It is so far to my expectation, the number of related courses to my program is too few and students have to register for courses in other programs, like software etc. The related courses are not that much satisfactory, We have to study two courses in security.» (Probably not)
- Considering Employment and Learning opportunities» (Probably not)
- I"d probably not choose it if I had realized how few courses there were in geology and geotechnics» (Probably not)
- Very little new content coming from a bachelor at chalmers, much repetition. Uninteresting mandatory courses like Distr systems I & II.» (Probably not)
- Electronic System Design courses are more market oriented now.» (Probably not)
- The knowledge provided is not so applied.» (Probably not)
- It was not my first choice but was unaware of my possibilty of choosing the program i wanted.» (Probably not)
- Because this program is structured based on the available teachers in department, not based on the usability of the courses that has to be designed for such a program. regarding this fact just very brief description of many branches will be given to students and as a result students can not develop their knowledge in a concentrated area. » (Probably not)
- From the program description I gathered the program was going to be more about design than architecture, which is not the case. I would like something more focused on industrial design.» (Probably not)
- While it"s a great program to build foundation in Acoustics, the research done and opportunities in the department are not that exciting and interesting. Also, the emphasis of the program on Vibration and Mechanical Engineering is definitely not intune with my personal interests.» (Probably not)
- It is actually an excellent master program its just that I realized something closes to biology and medicine is more my thing. » (Probably not)
- the future of this program for international students is dark.no chance to continue their study in PHD.» (Probably not)
- There were not a lot of courses in my interest area(railway, road and logistics) even thou it sounded like it was possible when I applied. Also some of the mandatory courses are irrelevant for what I want to work with in the future.» (Probably not)
- because it has a few shortfalls in not covering enough management type situations.» (Probably not)
- I did not gain much practical knowledge from it and all the networking topics covered I have already studied before at my BS and in my Cisco CCNA. The networking section of the program is good especially with the routing technology course, but you need to work harder on the internet technology course. The distributed system section of the program is totally a miss.» (Probably not)
- I have problem to see what I really learn. » (Probably not)
- I would choose the same program but different studio.» (Probably not)
- - lack of flexibility within course and program » (Probably not)
- program is not well organized » (Probably not)
- Not as applicable courses as I thought.» (Probably not)
- since there are no jobs within the field, at least not in a couple of years. There are teachers in this master programme that are ignorant and do not want to help their students, but some are great » (Probably not)
- It is really expensive to life in Sweden. People are so close minded that if you dont speak Swedish it muight be a problem. After two years of international student you get tired and is relly hard to get a job. For instance, in UK you study a master in 1 year you pay titution fee, however you can establish long-term relationships and you might also be part of the comunity. » (Probably not)
- Too low work load, general for most courses.» (I would consider it)
- I have learnt a lot and some of my knowledge is great but I want to have the basics in the program and then studied something else more focused towards my basic training at Chalmers» (I would consider it)
- It feels like very good subjects and a nice combination of solid and fluid mechanics. However it feels like our courses has lower goals than the ones in the "Applied Mechanics" master so I might have chosen that one instead to get a deeper competence. » (I would consider it)
- I don"t feel that the master deepened my knowledge as much as I wanted, it was quite similar to the bachelor even if not totally. I can feel that I could have spent my time on a different track instead, in order to get a broader degree. Probably something within management, or entrepreneurship. » (I would consider it)
- Well, to start with the performance level of my fellow student is significantly lower at the SCM-program than it was at Industriell Ekonomi. Especially so with the exchange students. Their English level is on average to bad which make them ill suited to study Management since your most important tool is your ability to express yourself. Writing reports and so on with people who are bad at English is a pain in the ass. When it comes to the different courses some have been good, some so so, and some really bad. If I would have chose a master program now I might have chosen Business Design instead because they have better students and more resources. » (I would consider it)
- It is a very nice study environment, but i think the guidance in the studies is way too poor.» (I would consider it)
- The alternatives have the same problem as this master programme» (I would consider it)
- People always want to try something different if they have the chance, isn"t it?» (I would consider it)
- I love the world of IT, however I would probably pick something more like CSE or ICM. I thought that SET would be more allround but I still felt like we"re basicly educating code-implementors. » (I would consider it)
- Another interresting program exists as well.» (I would consider it)
- I want a mix of the QOM and Production Engineering courses» (I would consider it)
- I would consider other programmes, since some of the courses did not really suit me (like some of the control courses). I would consider other programmes as well, for example Complex Adaptive Systems.» (I would consider it)
- It"s not very theoretical, and being used to much more theoretical courses in the Bsc. education, the courses sometimes feel like they are based on rules of thumb rather than actual theory. Sometimes it even feels as if we are not expected to grasp the theory behind things, so it is not presented. Also, the lack of course literature also troubles me, I do not like the compendium style literature base that many courses have. There must be loads of excellent literature out there and I have even acquired some on my own, but the course material can be greatly revised!» (I would consider it)
- It"s a very good programme, although the focus is almost only on control.» (I would consider it)
- The courses are scattered and especially in year two they the elective courses are not really connected to the program. » (I would consider it)
- Not confident about finding a job in the field after graduation» (I would consider it)
- I would look for something more related tomy bachelor studies. » (I would consider it)
- The lectures in Advanced classical physics and Quantum field theory killed a lot of my energy to study. » (I would consider it)
- i wanted to take sometoher courses» (I would consider it)
- I do not feel very interested in management, and only somewhat interested in maintenance of programs and the computer system life cycle. Luckily there is several slots for choosing courses of own liking, but if I could turn back time I would more strongly consider the Computer Science programme.» (I would consider it)
- My interests might correspond better to another master program.» (I would consider it)
- it should be more special,more focus on a special region» (I would consider it)
- Focusing both design and engineering is a bit far from the needs of industry. The program is perfect but the reality is different.» (I would consider it)
- The name "wireless and photonics Engineering" is mischievous. it should be "microwave and photonics". This led to a misunderstanding between wireless which means wireless communication planning with microwave engineering is making troubles for me.» (I would consider it)
- Since my background is entirely electrical, I would like to have more electronics related courses which at the moment there is almost none.» (I would consider it)
- there are around 50 master programmes offered, and as a student I have to say no to 49 of them....I have to admit that I have been curious about all those courses I have chosen not to study.» (I would consider it)
- would seriously think to apply for the Business design» (I would consider it)
- because it was the first year for this program, some courses ran with pool quality, and when we asked why, the answer was that because it is the first year, so I do not know if the quality improved for new students or not.» (I would consider it)
- Its not really give much in terms of game development» (I would consider it)
- I would find a degree in core design like transportation design or automotive design.» (I would consider it)
- it is not my favorite field to study and work. » (I would consider it)
- The 2nd year courses were not organized at all. Lack of planning for thesis. Number of student is higher than available thesis.» (I would consider it)
- Sweden has a good reputation on sustainability and there are not that many schools that offer a masters that specializes in this. However, the masters lacks in technical expertise and there is the over-riding since that no matter what the quality of your work is you will pass. I agree that students should be their own motivators, however most human beings work well when the feel challenged and when their peers expect better results from them. There is very little consideration for the fact that many foreign and swedish students will work outside of sweden and need to know how to build sustainably in other climates other than cold ones.» (I would consider it)
- To much overlapping of the courses» (I would consider it)
- Interesting about Mechanical engineering as well» (I would consider it)
- The quality is to low overall in this masters programme. » (I would consider it)
- It was not as i expected. I thought it would be more antennas and transmission in air. I had not understood that it was this much electrical theory involved. Although Im not dissepointed. » (I would consider it)
- Due to that there are almost impossible to take avay compulsary corses and choose other courses that are of interest for me, I have decided not to take my masters degree from hte program but instead just take my civ.ing degree. I think that when you are of the age of taking a masters program there whould be less compulsary courses and more elective courses so that you can form the education from your own interest. Espesially when the first courses in the program are just repetition from the bachelors level to take all students to an even level of eductaion. This is wrong and a complete waiste of time!» (I would consider it)
- maybe I would also consider quality and operations mgmt or supply chain mgmt» (I would consider it)
- most courses are not so good as my expectation» (I would consider it)
- The program course core was not advanced. It was comparable with my bachelor degree. What I had seen in other universities was much more advanced. The main problem is that the program does not intend to prepare a percentage of students to be future researchers. This can be done by offering very advanced elective courses which could be selected by some of the students.» (I would consider it)
- The quality on the courses is very low due to lack of interest from the lecturers and teaching assitens. There is however exceptions from the rule but they are few, 4-5 people in total.» (I would consider it)
- ICM seems to provide a better, more hands-on education.» (I would consider it)
- find some better or more interesting programs» (I would consider it)
- I have learned a lot from this programme. However, I find in the 3rd semester I have no good courses to choose if I do not take a 60 credits thesis. To some extend, I can say I waste months and can not learn much.» (I would consider it)
- perhaps geo and water» (I would consider it)
- Interesting field» (I would consider it)
- i would consider it if course about Building information modeling are introduced.» (I would consider it)
- Personal preferences.» (I would consider it)
- The area i wanted to specialized had few courses» (I would consider it)
- lack of real dustry projects» (I would consider it)
- thought it would be more about traffic planning» (I would consider it)
- I would consider to choose a programme related more into my bachelor"s degree. » (I would consider it)
- We need more courses focus on communication technologies. Some courses in my program are not that useful and not well orgnized, when compared to KTH and Lund university.» (I would consider it)
- It has fulfilled my expectations. I think other programmes may have done that, too. » (I would consider it)
- I will not get a lot of opportunities to work non-academically» (I would consider it)
- Because the courses are not very good and I don"t feel I"ve gain much knowledge as I expected.» (I would consider it)
- The Master programme might be to similar to the bachelor I previously attended (DEI) but the raised expectations do make up for it to a large extent.» (I would consider it)
- In the last two years, my interests have changed a bit. So the choice is not linked to the quality of the master, which is very good, but to my own tastes.» (I would consider it)
- I maybe should have chosen one master programme in Lund instead since I want to learn more about roads. It feels like it"s much more construction here at Chalmers.» (I would consider it)
- Because some of the courses fail to rise to my expectations, as well as some of the students that are attending them with me. » (I would consider it)
- mostly due to personal interest.» (I would consider it)
- If courses in different track can be added and specified, I will take the programme again.» (I would consider it)
- To much focus on image!» (I would consider it)
- The only other option, as I see it, would be to atttend a similar mastersprogram at another university» (I would consider it)
- The fact of being free was a key factor in my decision. Of course also the well know level of Sweden"s education but still Chalmers is far away from US or Canada"s education. Or at least something in the system is not working well, because you have decided to start asking for tuition fees and also many of the really good professors that used to work at the department have left in the past 3-4 years, at least 5!!! Now that we are forced to pay, I would consider other options as well.» (I would consider it)
- Because we dont obtain any professional or practical experience. There are no correspondent labs with networking equipment. The level of given programming tends to 0. I am afraid to be unemployed after the graduation, because the master program doesnt give ANY employers" requirements. » (I would consider it)
- I think other masters programmes are more worked through and well organzed.» (I would consider it)
- The job oppurtunities seems uncertain.» (I would consider it)
- I would need more hard knowledge to find work withnin the field. Some courses were diffuse about learning outcomes and application. » (I would consider it)
- not easy to find a job in my country» (I would consider it)
- This is a very philosophical program with many "deep" discussions which focus on learning and knowledge, How, Way When etc. Sometimes it feels like there is to much of that part and you want some more real cases: We do like this in our company and so on...» (I would consider it)
- Maybe I choose Geo and Water since they have more friendly and helpful staff » (Yes - probably)
- The only thing that I do not like about MEI is that it is hard to put a finger on what knowledge you really got, for that reason I might consider SCM since it is easier to tell other what you actually know.» (Yes - probably)
- The only program at IndEk that accepts one year exchange studies instead of a year at Chalmers. This is great and reasonable if you manage to find the same courses abroad. MEI has a very bad attitude stating that they have a special quality and wont accept any courses from abroad as substitute. This is not acceptable. Most exchange universities, including UNSW as I go to, have way better quality than Chalmers and a range of courses that Chalmers can"t offer. Most students, including myself, that go on exchange are very ambitious. I definitely don"t want to waste a year abroad and retake all courses at chalmers when I get back. So QOM, good on you! MEI and all the others - you loose the best students :)» (Yes - probably)
- moar programming plzlol» (Yes - probably)
- I did not feel welcomed by the people outside the university and there has been a look down on me in society, the weather was awful, but the university was very good.» (Yes - probably)
- I have realized that I am more into developing, but I still want to keep the elements of interaction design in my knowledge» (Yes - probably)
- It´,s what I find interesting regarding civil engineering.» (Yes - probably)
- I might have been a bit more focused. However, it is one of the programs that gives knowledge directly usable on the market. I would have focused a bit more on programming though. And Tomas Olovsson rocks! :)» (Yes - probably)
- It covers my interests» (Yes - probably)
- That is my field of interest.» (Yes - probably)
- Its a good Masterprogram» (Yes - probably)
- I"m still not entirely sure that this is what I want to work with. Perhaps it would be good with some more in depth information of the programmes, with concrete examples of what kind of work you will be doing during the master.» (Yes - probably)
- There are limited electives in the stream. I mean there are no courses on Estimation theory, Tracking theory which i feel are very important. » (Yes - probably)
- Interesting program but not so many jobs after the education.» (Yes - probably)
- If I went back I would probably study a biological subject» (Yes - probably)
- I still think that there are improvements that can be done, especially while keeping in mind how to DEEPEN the knowledge and make it more ADVANCED for the students in their special field, and to keep better in mind what is probable that the students will WORK with (not only doctoral studies) in the future. » (Yes - probably)
- Yes I probably would have, although I found I really did not like the 7 week terms.» (Yes - probably)
- TKK, Helsinki seems like the grass is greener on the other side.» (Yes - probably)
- Teachers are highly qualified and teach good in class but they do not encourage students to go and ask questions to them after class timings.» (Yes - probably)
- I think the network and security courses have been excellent. (computer security, network security and internet technology)» (Yes - probably)
- I made a choice between production engineering and SCM, but I feel that despite the host company in each course the connection with real world and companies is poor. I have very little understanding of what I could actually work with.» (Yes - probably)
- it has gave me what i want» (Yes - probably)
- » (Yes - probably)
- It"s possible to gain a great deal of knowledge if you put some effort into it.» (Yes - probably)
- It is a good program with at least a couple of exellent courses. Reffering especially to Cryptograhpy and Algorithms.» (Yes - probably)
- Because of the level of the master program (see question 37.)» (Yes - probably)
- I find it good overall» (Yes - probably)
- like this programme» (Yes - probably)
- Because there are no other program that would suit me.» (Yes - probably)
- I should have taken more courses from other programmes, maybe changed university for one semester, since I don"t think there are enough "subject-specific" courses. I have taken some courses I didn"t want to beacuase there were no good options in the Programme. » (Yes - probably)
- It"s still the area I want to work with in the future.» (Yes - probably)
- the area is interesting, but the programmes could be revised» (Yes - probably)
- It"s interesting and no other subject interested me more.» (Yes - probably)
- I felt at the beginning of the program that the courses were not challenging enough. I took courses outside of the program in addition to the recommended courses and some of them were interesting and challenging. I expected that the master"s program would have been more fulfilling. So for, one of the most fulfilling parts of the master studies is the thesis, but it does not necessarily depends on the content of the program.» (Yes - probably)
- Many courses are very interesting.» (Yes - probably)
- becouse i like most course that i am taking» (Yes - probably)
- It is basically the only option if you want to work as a structural engineer in Sweden..» (Yes - probably)
- I like management and I like construction industry so in cooperation with CMB this is a perfect match! Perhaps I would have searched for a similar programme at Industrial Economy if this was not offered.» (Yes - probably)
- it`s hard to find a job» (Yes - probably)
- i like cars» (Yes - probably)
- but i would choose to take more courses from the "I-department" instead of the elective courses.» (Yes - probably)
- I find it is very interesting in current program. The reason make me reconsider maybe due to background of this area is not so solid. I am still glad to my choice.» (Yes - probably)
- new area, and few people participate, making it specific» (Yes - probably)
- Suitable for my interests. » (Yes - probably)
- It"s good enough for me to extend my knowledge in this area.» (Yes - probably)
- As i have said, I would like to opt a program that will offer more courses related to wireless communication engineering, rather studying un related courses just to complete 120 credits» (Yes - probably)
- jag skulle nog se över andra skolor så som KTH lite bättre om jag fick göra om mitt val.» (Yes - probably)
- it provided good and profound background in the field» (Yes - probably)
- I might also have chosen another masters programme and chose the relevant courses (I"m interested in earth observations, but not space science).» (Yes - probably)
- depends on if I can get a good job.» (Yes - probably)
- i can get a lot.» (Yes - probably)
- Also Management and economics of innovations.» (Yes - probably)
- love the subject, » (Yes - probably)
- this programme needs much strong background knowlege, otherwise it could be hard to follow from the first course, which is Introduction including knowledge from almost every fields of automotive.» (Yes - probably)
- I appretiate the layout of every project. Most projects are rooted in real problems and that adds complexity and at the same time triggers your mind to try to coop with issues that aren´,t even formulated in the brief.» (Yes - probably)
- I would chose it because I like the issues that are considered in sustaiable frame. And I like that the tutors are very open to talk or discuss with. However even the majority is internationals most of the courses are so Sweden based (we always go for climate or flooding problems, I think that is mostly a local problem to study in an international English program)» (Yes - probably)
- I would make sure to select as many courses as possible from other programs to get an even more interdisciplinary view on this field of science.» (Yes - probably)
- The ICM-program might have been more useful as it is more practical and it seems to me that the MEI program is a bit too much focused on reading articles/publications» (Yes - probably)
- But I would have studied a few other courses then» (Yes - probably)
- I would have liked more mathematics/physics/mechanics to maintain my knowledge from M1-M3.» (Yes - probably)
- The autumn courses were excellent, but the courses during the spring, especially Applied industrial ecology and Environmental management have not deepened my knowledge significantly about the subject.» (Yes - probably)
- It was fun and I actually feel that I learnt things from new areas for once.» (Yes - probably)
- It"s an interesting field» (Yes - probably)
- Most of the time, courses are overload by information, readings, lectures, project groups, individual groups, exams... There is a huge difference between the load in this programme and other programmes.» (Yes - probably)
- It met my expectations (few though they were) for the most part.» (Yes - probably)
- because my main interest in taking this program instead of a regular MBA, was the focus on the "human" part of management, and i cannot see it reflected on my courses so far...» (Yes - probably)
- No better alternative» (Yes - probably)
- Because it"s a good programme. I"m doubting because I also want to attend an other masters programme. » (Yes - probably)
- I may have had a second thought if I knew that all spring would be nearly useless. But still, I like the content of the courses, but only with the administration, pedagogical, and execution of the courses would be soo much better.» (Yes - probably)
- I would probably choose it because it is a very rare specialization that has few counterparts, but I am overall disappointed with the depth of the knowledge that I have gained. If compared to other Master programmes SCM has a quite low standard and expects little from their students. » (Yes - probably)
- I have learned what I wanted» (Yes - probably)
- Because it is the easy way.. just continuing from the bachelor. Also I had no insights in the other programmes, IDE was a safe choice.» (Yes - probably)
- Because the location in Göteborg and the possibility to have real life assignments» (Yes - probably)
- The option was solid and fluid mechanics but automotive felt more hands on.» (Yes - probably)
- Even though I think it was very interesting, I would perhaps choose a program with more focus on actual development, as that is probably what I will end up working with.» (Yes - probably)
- For a master programme I expected more research rather than just courses. However, the level of the courses were very well.» (Yes - probably)
- Maybe I would have chosen Sustainable Energy Systems, since this seems like a more precise field where you learn more specific things. IE is more vague.» (Yes - probably)
- good teachers interesting projects good conditions for working at school» (Yes - probably)
- Because it finally feels like one is learning something useful and interesting.» (Yes)
- No other MP is close to what I want to do.» (Yes)
- It"s super smashing great.» (Yes)
- I learnt a great deal, knowledgeable and energizing teachers, courses are well thought through, both how they fit together and how they are designed each and one by itself» (Yes)
- Since there are a lot of elective courses I could get the interesting parts from other Master programmes I thought of choosing.» (Yes)

- Loking back I would say that the Masters programme is the most interesting part of my entire education, by far.» (Yes)
- Nothing else is better is the main reason...» (Yes)
- Because it is the programme at Chalmers that provides the best education within human-machine interaction and industrial design. I would though, study at least 6 months, probably one year abroad to get training in the creative phases that are missing at this masters programme.» (Yes)

- interest matters» (Yes)
- Excellent Program, I am very satisfied.» (Yes)
- I think it was right for me» (Yes)
- The programme met my expectations in terms of course contents. I also appreciate the fact that most courses were difficult enough, which (listening to other students) was not the case in all programmes. » (Yes)
- Very fun an intresting program. Would take it again, without any doubt!» (Yes)
- For me it is the perfect mix of structural and fluid mechanics, and most importantly, allthough to some extent highly theoretical, the clear connection to the applications are there.» (Yes)
- Is a very good programme» (Yes)
- I really feel challenged, and even though there is a lot of work and sometimes quite frustrating. I still feel that it is worth the effort.» (Yes)
- Matches precisely my interests.» (Yes)
- It"s one of very few that I could choose, and I did not find the others more appeling.» (Yes)
- Because I studid Power Engineering from my bachelor .» (Yes)
- Many interesting coulses and project works.» (Yes)

- Good learning support and training in a relatively innovative field.» (Yes)
- It is what i want to learn. To learn the physics and to put things in application. This programme and the course it contains are excellent» (Yes)
- I have learned so very much and I have had a really great time, even though I have had to work my ass of and cried many times because of the enourmous preassure» (Yes)
- Over all has everything been very good» (Yes)
- The high quality of teaching, rather good English level, broad range of different but related subjects, company and site visits, and very good student mix - I would definitely choose this program again.» (Yes)

- The flexibility»
- The mandatory classes»
- Action Based Learning»
- The first 15 pt introduction course.»

Since I was not educated in Europe before so many things such a what should be in the report or how to use references. Many natural things here are not nature for me. I had a hard time to write the report, so I think it would be the same for those who havce no experince on thesis work if we have no this kind of practice!»

- Almost nothing. The program is rotten from the core due to the awkward combining of interaction design (the project of which all seem to be based around physical computing) and "game design" (in which there is only one actual course about the designing of games) into one program. In general, the game design students feel like second-class citizens. The interaction design students have two studios full of equipment to use. The game design students are provided no resources in terms of software, workspaces, or technical guidance. Even then, the program consistently offers little theoretical grounding for the topics, instead preferring to structure courses around group work with reflection-based essays. As a result, one ends up in groups where no individual has any motivation to actually read the suggested reading as you can generally just bullshit your way through the essays. So, in general you have little opportunity to learn during the course as supervision usually consists of you simply telling the supervisor what you have done, with little input from them as to what you are doing incorrectly or what could be done better. So, you only learn to do things the way that you arbitrarily chose to do them. At the end of the course you receive no feedback from the project/essay which serves as your exam so you learn almost nothing. Lastly, the concept of making students responsible for their own educations in a group setting falls apart when students are not motivated to do so. One can only learn from one"s peers when the peers are themselves interested in learning and sharing. Without any grade-based incentive for those peers to learn and share, they won"t. As a result, the education of the motivated is held back by the unmotivated as the motivated have only unknowledgeable, unsharing, unmotivated students with which to interact. In the example of a reading group, each student is rationally encouraged todo the reading if he believes other students will have also done the reading and be interested in discussing it. Since this level of student interest is generally not expected, there is little incentive for each student to actually read or participate if not required by some grading mechanism.»

- a sophisticated person for the program coordination, she is not in contact with students and is just good for organizing company visits. she is just like a student centrum worker, bad prestige for the program, I think, the coordinator should be someone like, lennart lofdhol or lars davidsson. this program is a prosperous program that should take care of it.»

- The choice you made to keep tution fees, I totaly against it. Well, you charged no fees to EU students who are from rich countries, but students from my country are poor, can"t even dream to study in Sweden any more. I am very unhappy for your dicission and sorry to say that we cannot come to Sweden for study any more. You might have few students who are really rich, but even they will not consider to come in Sweden. Because, I know, those rich students in my country they prefer to study in USA, UK, Canada or AUS. Rest of the poor students like me, preffered choice was Sweden. Now our hope and dream to receive some well higher education is stopped. This tution fee is just like a SLAP from Sweden to us who are poor. Wish you good luck you rich people.»

- The whole staff, is kind of young but still good. Anyhow, more experienced people should join the deparment. Also, many courses such as Electric Drives II and Power Electronic Solution for Power Systems should be preserved. Power System Operation needs to be splitted in 2 or even 3, so thing will be studied in a better way. The labs on High Voltage courses should be for sure preserved as well.

37. What should definitely be changed in your Masters programme?

-
- Material mechanics course. »
- Program Coordinator!»
- Exposure to whats happeneing in the outside world relavent to what i am doing in the program.»
- It should be divided to two part system level and circuit level»
- de obligatoriska kurserna bör revideras samt att ha ett mer balanserat utbud av valbara kurser. »
- A better skilled and motivated teacher in the "managing operations processes" course.»
- Bättre engelska hos lärare, alternativt undervisning på svenska. Färre påtvingade miljörelaterade kurser.»
- Right now the only difference I see from studying my bachelor is that I"m alone and choosing random courses that is somewhat regulated. In my opinion I could as well build my own programme and wouldn"t notice any difference.»
- Remove Operations Processes!!!!»
- Remove VEF course. Lower the work-load (e.g. through higher integration project-courses).»
- Higher demand on forreign student to have studied management before they come to the master programme.»
- The host company cases should be more diverse, so that we don"t have to ask the same questions every time we meet them.»
- The time perspective, 15ECTS should not be crammed into 7,5 ECTS. The workload is exhaustive compared to other master programmes. »
- put the advanced courses first and make the easy ones optional. With a bachelor in IndEk I would like to have the advanced courses and not take the simple courses I have already had during my bachelor. Especially when I have been abroad and am not taking the optional courses at chalmers.»
- More international perspective, right now its very Swedish!By International I mean, it should address Asia and Africa as well!»
- Add more core courses that are directly related to the Masters programme.»
- SD and SEF course is to alike. Have to change something. ESMP course. »
- Make it into a true masters program, wheras it now is merely a grouping of some PhD courses and some low level courses.»
- The microwave projects course needs to be improved.»
- Better communication of goals and demands on the students. Start to communicate what it takes to get different grades and have a structure to fail students. This is something that feels impossible today and thereby decreasing the incentive to study hard.»
- The Master"s program should be more research based»
- A better selection of elective courses, now it is quite narrow. It could for instance be made simpler to choose topics within related fields such as finance, sustainable development etc.»
- Make sure that all students have the necessary skills in English to read, interpret and producs high-quality articles and reports. During my master"s program I often had to re-write the contributions from some students - mostly students with an international background - to make the text in question even readable. It is not realistic to expect all members of a group to contribute equally when one of the team members is having a difficult time just following the most basic discussions held in English. This places an extra burden on the other students in the team but mainly induces a feeling of guilt and/or awkwardness for the person with the lower level of English which is most unfortuneate. »
- introduction sesstion»
- Graphical Interfaces, too much work and the grades did not have any correlation what so ever to the workload and achievements you did.»
- All courses should have a webpage which is continously update with relevant information.»
- some courses»
- Increase the requirements in english and relevant courses needed to enter the programme »
- Catia V5»
- See question 22.»
- When there is one mandatory course and one elective, many of the elective courses have not been possible to choose becuse of schedule overlaps with the mandatory course. This should be planned better.»
- Distributed systems: modernize. Remake. Remove basic communication things already covered in other courses three times. More programming, development etc.»
- some courses. Some professors.»
- Environmental management.»
- More geotechnics, more flexibility in choise of course»
- being more international, increase the phd positions»
- More experimental physics courses. Thomas Nilsson is doing a great job but he can not have all the courses. Could be »
- Further cooperation with the industry would be appreciated, as well as books in the area and not only hand-outs»
- Maybe more contact with the industry. More guest lectures from companies. Maybe a job pool for graduates where companies can post job opportunities.»
- A few courses that I noted before. Plus that, probably trying harder in making better relationships with the industry in order to provide more master thesis opportunities for the students by the department.»
- Only the workload of nuclear chemistry in the first study period.»
- Freight transport system is a bit too theoretical.»
- Divide the programme in to several fields specializing into the different fields with the opportunity to choose other courses from other programmes.»
- Put more into the courses and demand more from the students.»
- Nothing»
- course contents of introdunction course»
- Matter Space Structure as a programme have very good intentions and potential, but is sadly impopular due to lack of planning in advance by the course management.»
- You are more or less forced to take a specific course, Material selection and design, in order to get a "Technical specification". Since no other courses fit the schedule you need to take this course, and the course is really bad. »
- I cant say about removal of course. But some course should mege like. Digital communication and introduction of communication. »
- Make sure all exchange students have sufficient skills in English.»
- Management of physical Distribution. Merge it with Freight transport systems or remove it. Also try to have more things in cases and projects that are connected to real companies. Get a alumni website, find SCM internships like Business Design does for it"s students.»
- Teachers attitude towards information availability. Especially for teachers who are new or from outside don"t setup course websites on time. Even in some cases not much after the course had started.»
- Information about the specializations should be clearer on the master program home page. As an example: The specialization "wireless communication" is not even present on the master program home page!»
- More connection to the working life outside Chalmers that are related to the course subjects. More lectures or seminares from industrial delegates for example.»
- The order in which courses occur. More involvement with multiple disciplines: cognitive ergonomics and psychology especially.»
- duration of time in each quater must be changed, because each quater is short and there is less time avaialble to learn alot of information »
- no opinion»
- -Project»
- Higher requirements on the student accepted to the program. Rather than repeating the content of the B.Sc. courses.»
- Our program is too much computer based it is better to have a separate labs and workshops etc.»
- Hmmm... a lot of things! Starting by the curriculum, project work is done in two groups: the international and the Swedes and this leads to segregation, some old teachers, assessment methods,etc.»
- The courses that we can take, everybody dont want to take water courses »
- More creative training! More emphasis in creating solutions. Some understanding of economical issues, regarding product development. More explarative design challenges.»
- -Modify the course Energy Systems Modelling and Planning -More elective courses about Renewable Energies (design and other staff)»
- Industrial visits must be included»
- Teaching Assistant ship should be given to students who excel well in studies. Atleast give paid summer internships which will give a good amount of knowledge about the current research work in the University.»
- Many courses are far too easy because they do not enforce the prerequisits. To follow a master"s program in applied physics, I think it is fair to assume that all students have a physics background, such as engineering physics and the physics program at GU. Many students from other programs and schools have a hard time with the basic physics, but if these are accomodated, which they are now resulting in very basic repetition for students WITH physics background, the program become meaningless for us that already know the stuff. I dare to say that I know nothing more after the program than I did before, that I could not have read on Wikipedia, save for Matlab.»
- More research possibilities would be good.»
- tomuch pressure in some quarters.»
- no, it is good»
-
- Not specifically but there are things that can be improved»
- The electronics courses should be one for studens with background in electronics like more advance and ones for students without background in electronics...»
- Raise the level of the courses. it is so sad that you come from hard studies form your bachelor and when you start you Master the tempo and level of the courses decreases drastically. MAKE THE COURSES HARDER!!!»
- Programming paradigms was to hardcore coding if yoy don"t have a bachelor in computer science according to me. »
- The Biopolymer course and some of the course content in track-courses since these are supposed to give us our specialization and therefore can"t be that general. »
- more laboratory based sessions should be imposed in every course»
- Some of the courses lack realistic examples/tutorials/assignments, particularly the solid mechanics courses.»
- Develop a good receiving for the new students, we started one this year but I think this can be improved to create a better atmosphere between the swedish students and the international students. »
- Better coordination between courses. Better information regarding what availible elective courses there are and what rules that apply.»
- 2nd year courses ! they seem quite choice-less within CommEngg.»
- TA"s (Teaching Assistants) are very in-corporative. There is no check and balance on TA"s at all (other than course evaluation which probably no one takes care of). There should be some check and balance on TA"s.»
- Increase the quality of the courses that are not obligatory, the difference in quality is vast and the content of those courses are not sufficiently communicated.»
- Make a student specialize in one field»
- More courses as already written above to have the chance to choose and specialize more. For example the project course is very easily realizable i think!»
- The courses should provide what we need for our future and not what the teachers find interesting personally.»
- Bernhard Mehligs lecture notes. They need to be written on a computer so they can be understood.»
- The quarter period should be little bit longer for the core courses.1 month and 20 days are just not good enough for the heavy workload for the core courses of my program.I still remember how much stress i have taken in the first 2 quarters due to heavy workload.But later on it was ok.»
- time table/schedule »
- Teachers with more experience, more hours of class, more covered in each course. I have definatly had a lot less school work on the master then on bachelor level.»
- no idea»
- The courses visual brand identity, project IDE and form design development 1 and 2»
- Design systems. Also it is sometimes hard to find information about the courses on the homepage.»
- More system/mathematical modeling courses»
- the teacher of "managing operation processes" »
- Everything else.»
- Teachers who don"t have enough time to dedicate to the school plus those that despite what their university degree might say are not real construction experts as they have not even passed one day in professional settings of the construction industry should leave beside teachers who"re not even project manager professionals and have expertise in irrelevant fields. The entire program curriculum as well as its courses contents should be revised by close collaboration and discussion with experts from the construction industry. Hiring new teachers or even external lectures from the industry without letting the evaluation corresponding courses to be affected of due to their lack of time is highly recommended. All in all, this program should be hybrid program between academia and the industry.»
- heavy workload»
- All master thesis should be 60 credit so that student can reseach deeply in any particular area.»
- PLM course»
- Few professors do lack of bringing the subject to the students and it should be definitely changed. Laboratory sessions have to be seriously revised as almost all of the laboratory sessions are straight forward. Almost all lab sessions have answers in the handout only it should be changed to improve the thinking ability of students in understanding the concepts.»
- Deepen the mandatory courses, so that it isn"t that much repetition of the bachelor courses given at chalmers»
- I can"t think of anything that must be changed about my programme.»
- more elective courses in the field of programming and computer networks»
- I felt everything good.»
- the individual prep. course.»
- Modeling and simulation. Not a good course, and a very bad teacher.»
- Managing Development Projects»
- More individual oral reports, it"s very demoralizing to see people cheat/copy handins and still pass when you work hard to do them.»
- Some of the Ph.D teachers that I feel did not fit for the task to teach us»
- Make two programs from this one»
- Wouldn"t it be interesting to evaluate job possibilities a bit more. The statistics on what happens after could be better. I know people ar egenerally emplyed but are they working in the supermarket? Where are the best salairies?»
- More course/project with connection to the real world and not just analyzing companies but also suggesting improvements based on our courses. »
- In some courses, the teachers view upon workload, sometimes things cannot be perfect if you do not have sufficient time. They say they take this into consideration, but they don"t always do.»
- More courses to choose from, and more alert student counclers that tells us about what our possibilities are! As far as I know we wouldn"t know if we are elidgeble to select a course in advance. the student counclers only say: choose one and we"ll call you if it is not ok. ARGH! :(»
- Split the course ship resistance and propulsion intop two separate courses, make FEM mandatory»
- some core and basic courses teachers»
- the connection between different courses in regard of the host companies»
- »
- statistical inference»
- Some project work are not designed well enough.»
- The production logistic course book»
- Higher demands on the students. As for now it"s possible to sail through the program without much effort. »
- More and better feedback. the aster programme shoul build on the bachelr knowledge,today it doesn"t. more elective courses»
- in quarter one it would be nice to have an additional experimental course for selection»
- Dont know»
- More information from above»
- Re-evaluate which courses that should be the core of the program.»
- Some teachers are not pedagogical at all. And the way of evaluating doesnt follow the goals stated above. »
- The lecturer in Advanced Classical Physics and Quantum Field theory. »
- Leonid Molokov.»
- The administration.»
- The branding issues with Handels entreprenörsutbildning which is right now called ICM (Intellectual Capital Management), the same as our program. This causes a lot of confusion within the programmes but also for new applicants. As far as I have heard, this is due to politics within GU which sounds outragous to me.»
- Software Architecture needs a new teacher.»
- No opinion»
- Environmental Management»
- PhD students should NOT be the MAIN lecturers on courses. They are still under formation and in my opinion, they are still inexperienced. They should only be Teacher Assistants.»
- Regulate and set standards for language requirements of students! There has been a number of problems with exchange students. In most cases, it"s a matter of plagiary during written assignments. When confronted they say that it"s a matter of bad language skills. When this occurs, in most cases these students get by because other students rewrite their parts, but it is a disservice in the end. This means that these students pass on assignments where they have not contributed, even after multiple interventions from the other students. (when you proofread a text 3 times or more and tell the person what the problem is and where it is, and that person finds a new text on the web and plagiates again, there is not so much that you can do...) Plagiated text is delivered, time after time. This is not taken up because of deadlines and other time pressing matters, which would be delayed in the case of a the long debate that this could turn out to be. Most of the time it could be considered a case for disciplinary committee. NOTE! As this occurs, not all exchange students are guilty of this kind of behavior. Some are trying very hard and doing their best, and when that is not enough, take help from their classmates. The problem is when we are all awarded the same kind of degree after completed masters program, and some of us have passed where others should not have. To prevent this from happening, there should be written (and hopefully oral) testes for English language level for the students applying for masters program. »
- The course "Foundations in Photonics" should be changed, maybe it could be good to have it in parallel with "Numerical methods in photonics".»
- The bioreactor course.»
- Bioreactor»
- No Opinion»
- Since this master program receives students from a large variety of backgrounds and countries, it has in all too many courses felt like the level has been brought down to absolute basics in order to ensure that anyone can take the course. This is very demotivating. The level of the education shouldn"t be set on basis of who knows the least! It isn"t Chalmers responsibility to ensure that everyone passes, it"s up to the students!!! If someone is lacking the needed knowledge it is up to that person to acquire it! Sure Chalmers can support, but not to the cost of jeapordizing the quality of the master program. To give an example I can say, without exaggeration that in some courses, I"ve studied much LESS than five hours/week and still received a 4 on the exam. And I am far from a genius... »
- some instructors cooperation between students»
- More information about courses that is outside the specific section you are studying in»
- Which LP the diffrent courses are situated in. I found that LP2 in year 2 didn"t really offer any intresting courses.»
- Smaller classes and in some courses more supervision on projects.»
- it should be at the main campus»
- more technical knowldge included. In Sweden, I find the architectural education very much seperated from the engineering/technical education!»
- Only those couses I mentioned above .»
- Better feedback. Students not being allowed to choose groups by themselves. More overall engagement from someone in the program, not only in specific courses. Exams in which you cannot just come up with answers and get points anyway. In general, it should be more difficult.»
- Addtion of labs for practising Architectural description languages in Architecture courses. Give preference to write/publish some paper with presentation not on written exams as written exams just require a solution to previous exams. »
- The extremely varying, and generally low standard of the teaching.»
- More advanced security-related courses available, maybe with more research-oriented material. Higher demands on the course "Computer security".»
- Introduction to discrete event systems not mandatory if you choose control. The teaching in Modelling and sim. was not good,it felt like an important course and deserves a better teacher.»
- the building performance branch should be compeletly seperated from this program! there is no relation between these two at all!»
- project in applied mechanics»
- lab equipments»
- Almost everything else»
- Deeper courses, not general ones. General courses are presented to bachelor students so that they choose their favorite specializations later on.»
- Maybe add a course in biomaterials.»
- Gör andra året i mastern till ett förbjupdningasår så att man kan få den spetskompetens som behövs i arbetslivet. Ta bort miljökurserna!»
- The Masters programmes responsible, e.g. the director. I do not think he is suitable for this job. I do on the other hand like the director for the department and for the Civilingenjörs education (Teknisk Design) »
- »
- The architecture components, schedules, teachers, critiques, written information as aims, goals, course PM"s that actually contain useful information and a well thought through process rather than loose visions without any information about the actual implementation. »
- Se above. Also a better integration of the courses into each other. »
- more renewable, be able to have one elective course from the beginning. The 4th period is not very interesting since there are few technical courses (as i studied already computional fluid mechanics), add eco-efficiency courses (building performance)»
- More stable administration. The coordinator has changed twice now. It is not always easy to know where to turn with which questions with all these changes to the administration... If it hasn"t been done already, remove or strongly revise Software Architecture.»
- The order of giving some of the lectures»
-
- Construction processes and management should be mandatory to take. Its great.»
- Nothing»
- The name in the first place and also some trends in teaching wireless track courses»
- maybe revise heat and moisture to a more structured course»
- Make the programme harder. Also, more focus on intellectual property. Lastly, there should be less courses that are mandatory.»
- some courses and some teachers. (see suggestions for course revisions)»
- nothing»
- The courses are often very good with a high level, they are difficult enough. However, sometimes I have the feeling that it is a little too easy to pass the exam. It seems to me like some people who have definitely not understood pass the course anyway. This seems to be a problem where the teacher is very generous with bonus points from assignments, so that just a few points on the exam are necessary to pass the course. Have a look at, for example, Rigid Body Dynamics (MMA092). That is a really difficult course, but check how many students failed the course, and you will be surprised...»
- nothing particular,maybe larger library study place»
- Sometimes in the quarter there is so much burden on the students,specialy in FEM courses..It should be lessen.»
- Nothing i can think of»
- My start»
- It"s hard to specialize in a subject/field. The programme is way to broad. This master programme could/should be turned in to at least two or three different master programmes. Alternatively more courses are needed so that you can chose to specialize more within the programme.»
- 1. Introduction to electronic system design 2. Methods for electronic system design and verification 3. Electronic system design project The main problem however is the cooperation with some of foreign student unfortunately.»
- teachers who cant teach properly lack of experience»
- The English knowledge and pedagogic abilities of some teachers (without pointing fingers). It"s sad to see a teacher, probably knowing everything about your favorite subject, completely ruin the spreading of his/her wisdom because s/he doesn"t know how to express him/herself.»
- The programe is definately too easy for a master"s degree. The involvement of mathematics in different courses is almost often avoided which is not good at all. »
- nothing specifically»
- I hope the schedule of our assignments may be improved to be more reasonable. Because sometimes we are very busy and sometimes we are too free.»
- It is not possible to go on exchange studies with the current schedule without missing out on mandatory courses.»
- nothing special»
- More traffic and geotechnics courses! To many environmental courses. Move them to the environmental master program instead. And too much water courses.»
- Remove some environmental-courses and make some more Geo- and water courses (if there are resources). Otherwise you should make better contact with other Universities and offer distance courses from them?»
- I think more students should choose the program, people think it is harder to study compared to the other programs, we have to convise them that it is not,»
- You should be able to chose your own project/lab partners. Sure, mixing randomly gives you an opportunity to work with international students, but this is far from always a bless. In my current course, MEN115, we (me and another chalmers student) were forced to exclude our third group member since he didn"t contribute to the work at all. He basically relied on us to print his name on the finished report. I understand that this sounds a bit xenophobic, but this is a reality for me and a few of my friends (I"ve asked around a bit on different master programs). I also understand that there can occur cultural clashes between the educational structure (and the way a project is run), but seriously, this is a masters degree program and I think that you should be able to demand some sort of professionality from your fellow students. »
- MTS seems irrelevant for the education. I think all courses should be on advanced level.»
- The course clashes. Also there should be a prerequisite to have studied math. Many of the international students have a hard time to follow the calculations in the program. Therefore some parts is too simple for me as a Chalmers student. »
- Look over the semi obligat. courses»
- Courses within the content of testing and verification should be added.»
- Some courses could probobly be added/changed.»
- More semimandatory courses to choose from.»
- Some of the course"s layout and structure»
- Giving a more hands on approach to the theory as an option to the old more mathematic approach»
- more compulsory course in my program»
- Should include Much more about Nanoscience and Nanotechnology»
- Better information about the courses you can read, also at the vom department. I made some choises I regreted, due to lack of information about thhe courses. More course content in the courses industrial energy systems, advanced chemical engineering and advanced separation technology. Omit the courses global sustainable engineering and biorefinery, people join the programme to get skilled, these two courses do not manage that. »
- THe master thesis should not be compulsory.»
- Phil and his courses. He is a very poor educator, but his modules normally should be fascinating.»
- there must be definitely practical courses»
- More information and CORRECT information from the coordinators. More courses to choose from.»
- We could have more specialized knowledge and be less focused on the Swedish climate for architecture solutions.»
- the course Building in society»
- remove it»
- The programme as such felt far too basic. The courses are called "advanced" but they are not any more advanced than the bachelor courses. Many people in our programme (people not coming from Chalmers) had never used a pipette or did not no fundamental facts about DNA, RNA and proteins. I was many times irritated over that courses started with a description of how DNA is connected to proteins - in a masters programme in biotechnology! When working in groups, I several times worked with students that did hardly understand english and because of this they only copied sentences from articles (or even wikipedia) to create texts that were not even understandable and had to be rewritten by me or my friends, which was very frustrating. Require more from students applying for the programme. This would give all of us students a better education.»
- The way we apply the design process must be more integrated with mechanical engineering and economics...»
- operations management»
- Some of the teachers attitude towards teaching.»
- No thing»
- Financial support to international students.»
- VEF assignment and NVF course goals»
- Using of MATLAB. In real time, like working in companies or industries many of them won"t use Matlab instead they go for C, Java, Dotnet, etc., If we keep working only in Matalb how we can get a good experience of different platforms? just think about that. »
- Some teachers speak Swedish when students asked them in Swedeish during the break. In my opinion, they should speak English even they are asked in Swedish since they should concern international students who cannot understand Swedish. However, some teachers really do concern this matter.»
- Remove the courses mentioned earlier»
- the quarter-based system»
- The lack of information here and there...»
- controll of the profesors... give the studnets evaluations of the courses the importance they should have... or you say it has»
- Secure that the teachers have time to help the students if the course have had problems earlier. For example with some software or literature. More visits on factories or development divisions to see "hands on" tips. »
- The content of International Projects seem to be repetition of parts of Project Management, Human Resource Management and Financial Management. Sometimes the repetition of content made sense but the majority of the cases seem to be lack of coordination between lecturers. The coordination of the program gave us information related to Northumbria University that wasn"t very clear.It would be better to have more inputs from other IPM students in advance. There should be more support and guidance to define a topic for the thesis and it would be nice to have some contacts with the industry to write the thesis for a company.»
- Better information about elective courses.»
- -some of the teachers »
- quality of labs in first quarter. and there should be no grouping in class. »
- interaction design courses should not be mandatory for students aiming for game development»
- I think there should be more recommended elective courses to choose from, but on the other hand the current curriculum looks better in this aspect than the old one.»
- The idea that all students have the exact same background - namely three years of chemical engineering studies here at Chalmers. »
-
- replace sven andersson with someone that shows interest in the courses, he destroys the motivation»
- more contact with industry and better examinations for industrial design, a showcase or presentation of projects for others to judge and grade the result.»
- The layout of the product development project. To have lectures that mostly covered things that we"ve already come across in our Bachelor years and then tests on the content felt very tiresome. The result from these tests have an unproportionate affect on the final grade in the course. I got a good result but still think that it is WRONG that I could do a worse job in the project than the other members from now on and still get the same grade, just because I invested a couple of hours in studying for the test. The course supervisors got some criticism on this but did not respond well to it. My overall impression of how the project course have been handled by the supervisors is VERY negative, still there is so many positive things about the course, that I find the course itself great.»
- The number of students was very high in our program (about 100 students). I think there is no university that accept 100 master students in communication engineering every year. So it diminishes the quality of program. There were some students in our program who did not have enough qualifications.»
- the course book for "Integrated Product Developement"»
- Credits for DAT095 project could be awarded in two portions (as the course spans over two study periods), as it is done with 60-credit theses (30 credits are awarded after midterm evaluation).»
- Make a separet masters for structural engineers. The first half year was basically a waste of my life (with the exception of the FEM course) Cooporate more with aplied mechanics for the possibilty of choosing there courses (often the good courses from the two masters were schedueled at the same time)»
- some courses about programming( for example embedded system course)»
- better understanding of sustainability and climate change issues should be fostered.»
- In general longer periods. 2-3 month is to short to go deeper into the topics. It is more an "get an impression" programme than "get deeper knowledge", what it actually should be»
- The department should arrange appropriate master thesis for the students. There were not enough openings. Many student failed to get track related theses.»
- More constructive criticism, don"t be afraid to challenge and expect more from people. Better to have it happen in school than out in the workplace.»
- The introduction course on sustainablitity could be more concentrated and focus more on new encouraging innovations and solutions, not just the problems. That would be inspiring! The MPARC is divided into 3 branches, and I think it would be great to get a share of each branch. If I could wish, Housing - a bit more construction focus Matter Space - "ordning & reda" »
- nothing»
- There should be one semester without any mandatory courses, so that the opportunity to take one semester abroad would be easier.»
- Flow of basic information needs improvement. (i.e. class schedules, program requirements) Courses also need to be planned by professors in advance. I feel this is a matter of enforcing standards, and having checks and balances. »
- Reduce some projects or "problem-based learning"»
- Move design methods and design to the fall »
- A clearer path of specialisation in control, automation and mechatronics.»
- Set higher demands for students coming from outside Chalmers, some where really good but for the most of the time I felt that they had too low knowledge in many areas.»
- There are always improvements that can be done, but nothing mayor. I would however like to be more at Chalmers and get more support from Chalmers and the student union. I am a Chalmers student but I do not feel that I go to Chalmers. »
- The course in environmental management should be extended and include not only regulatory aspects but rather focus the business opportunities that sustainable development conveys. Overall, there is a skepticism towards companies and their role in achieving sustainability, this compromises the teachers" ability to develop our understanding of the companies situation. »
- More joint projects with enterprises»
- The courses should not begin at square 1 all the time spending too much time repeating stuff from the other courses. Build the master programme and its courses for the programme students as a main focus and not everyone else.»
- Most of the instructors really need to be changed. »
- The material mechanics course. Hard to understand. Didn"t understand things until advanced material mechanics.»
- the overlapping of courses»
- It is not an option I suppose, but some teacher would be far greater in swedish. Then our learning outcomes would be better.»
- The parts that are supposed to be academical should be improved! Better structure, literature and pedagogics. The impression is that the people constructing the courses are not very used to the academia.»
- The course curriculum-must be changed. Introducing few bioinformatics core courses like drug design and removing advanced statistical courses would improve it.»
- n/a»
- expectations from teachers should be increased»
- Managing operations processes can be improved by going deeper into some areas, because as it is now I think the course try to cover to much.»
- The teacher for the modelling and simulations course. If not change, he needs to learn to behave and teach.»
- dont know»
- The courses could be more advanced.»
- There should be some specialization tracks with good number of course. Because there are some specialization tracks but they give the taste of specialization but not deeper knowledge.»
- I believe any teachers did not take the sufficient time to prepare good courses. »
- Inger Bergmans course, organizations.»
- Vehicle Dynamics should be revised for betterment !! »
- Lecture schedules»
- Global chemical sustatinability course as stated before.»
- a better homepage»
- More compulsory courses in the second year»
- Mabye the complex seminars course... »
- more cooperation with northumbria in order to minimise the amount of overlap.»
- some elective courses.»
- Change back to swedish! »
-
- For people who can"t find a master thesis or don"t want to do a full year there are no courses during autumn (given by the faculty of fundamental physics that is (in other words, INTERESTING courses, there are plenty to choose from outside of the program)). This could be changed I think.»
- The rexams.... The master program should be more tough!»
- The AI course should not be obligatory, or it should at least not be a project course.»
- i know you are supposed to be able to work with everyone. And the idea is great in theory or where everyone wants do work. I had to drop Wireless communication since the other persons in my group did not want to work within the group. The searched co-operation with other students and preffered to work with them. »
- revise the courses program and exam dates so there won"t be any more clashes»
- Opportunities should be more for international students than local students and language preference in the companies should be avoided. but this is not for all companies applicable to few. »
- I think it is not proper that Phd students teach us and it would be better if we were taught by professors»
- Trying to integrate international and Swedish students.»
- Sven-Arne should not teach distributed systems. When having distsys in the name of the programme, the course should at least be understandable. »
- Most of course, teacher is teaching and student is learning. Just it. I think more practical experiment in industry is helpful for students career.»
- Several of the courses need some work»
- Take away many compulsary courses that overlaps courses from bachelors level. There must be a discussion between the teachers on bachelors and masters level so that the courses isn"t to much of the same. »
- Don"t make image analysis compulsory »
- AI course»
- Examinations»
- There should be much more practical work!»
- unnecessary courses with poor content like form design. also maybe some teachers could be convinced that the language of the master program is really Engish, although the number of the swedish students might be more than internationals. they have to understand that they don"t do students a favor to have a session or lecture in english. one teacher in TD once told the one international student in a class that she is welcome to leave since the rest of the class would be in swedish!!»
- The environmental system analysis course. »
- Dont know»
- it would be good to get a better overview of the job market in the field.»
- some compulsory course, should add more specializations»
- generality.»
- N/A»
- Students with better English skills is required. Many foreign students lack the required English skills for this programme.»
- no suggestion»
- The information about elective courses!»
- More courses about nanotechnology should be added»
- No»
- Review courses mentioned above. No need to visit Ericcsson, Saab Space and Ruag Space.»
- Do not have "Research Methodology" as a mandatory course. In my year the course still was elective which was positive, since I would not have enjoyed it.»
- nothing!»
- add more courses to chose for not mandatory study period»
- There is a need to apply strategies that push more the interaction between students in the second year. This is because at the second year the english skills improve in average, so internationals like me are in better positions to interact better with students that has better english skills. We interacted a lot in the first courses... so that is why there is a lot of troubles working in teams.»
- maybe the work load in some courses»
- Have some kind of kick-off arranged by the program in the beginning of the first semester to say hello to the exchange stdents in a relaxed way»
- Instruction methods of vehicle dynamics courses and co-ordination of the programme. Support and management for Formula student.»
-
- courses should comprise international aspects »
- there were some courses which could be changed, e.g. wireless networks, artificial intelligence»
- More elective courses deeper possibility for specialization!»
- There is not enough involvement of the group in practical researches or projects hence quite less activities with financial supports or hopeful future for students.»
- nothing»
- Electric Drives I»
- Environmental Management»
- Electromagnetics part from "Electromagnetic waves and Spectroscopy" is almost same as "Radio and Microwave Engineering" which should be changed with some other course, as we study the same contents two times and both the subjects are core»
- The PLM course in year 2, study period 1. Bad administration and the computer program works porely. Very frusturated course with 80 % waiting time because of slow programme...»
- Molecular Electronics»
- some courses like introduction to electronic design and Method for electronic design and project electronic design have no gain and also presented in a wasteful way.»
- increase the number of courses taught in english»
- More contact with programs coordinator. More contacts with companies in forms of guest lectures and company visits.»
- It would be better if they focus in limited issues in each subject but deeper instead of giving tones of diverse but less explained concept. »
- Heat and Moisture course. Structural systems. Adding/proposing a mathematical course for interested students so that they can take either in the civil department or mathematics.»
- I"ve noticed there are changes coming which seem decent, like a Project Managagement course, how this was not in the original plan is beyond me.»
- nothing»
- The course selection. Very chaotic, very few choises. It is either chose these two courses, or try to find whatever other course you like, guess if it fits your program, guess if you have the required knowledge, but absolutley do not ask the study centre staff, because they get angry and do not know anything. At best they refer to the student portal, which no longer works as it should and it is virtually impossible to find what you are looking for. I"m takning courses I never would have chosen, just because it is so difficult to get any help finding the right ones. And I need the money for full time studies... By the way, full time studies?? I have aced the last exams, and seldom study other than during lectures... That cant be right. »
- More options to choose from in the elective courses (eg. Design Systems) or remove them and only have studio courses.»
- Less compulsory courses as the courses dataaqusition in handling systems biology, biopolymers and Bioreactors. I did not find these courses to be relevant in that extent to be compulsory. perhaps the bioreactor course but not the others. »
- The programme responsible.»
- The courses which are clearly divided into two different parts with little/no connection.»
- replace the course "programming in teams"»
- There are too few practical assignments. I did choose the course Improvement Project (15 ECTS). The project we were assigned to do was badly prepared. We started about a month late and after another month, the company decided they would not like us to continue. Either, let the students get project themselves and warn about the risks, or do it right so that students not have to put in 10 weeks into something worthless.»
- The repetition in each course because not all master students have read the bachelor in "automation and mekatronik" must disappear from each course. If someone that have not read this bachelor applies to the master, should they not have the same basic knowledge? Very annoying to put time on old stuff, over and over.»
- none»
- more courses related to analog part.»
- Make the DWE-course and the ASE-course optinal NOT compulsory»
- More technical aspects should be taught.»
- The overall coursed structure. Make sure there are less repetition. No Host companies such as Starke Arvid that are too small / don"t have very developed supply chains. It is very frustrating to have to work with them when there are nothing more to learn after the first visit. Also, get rid of all the crappy Asian exchange students. They barely speak English, can"t write reports and ruin the experience for everyone.»
- Add an machine learning branch. Add Artifical Neural Networks and Stochastical Optimization ALgorithms to the programme as well. I took those courses and recomends them to other algorithm-interested students.»
- Someone has to make Sverker Alänge more structured... »
- Increase the number of Lab hours»
- No opinion»
- More courses need to be offered regarding game design. The program offers only one. There are almost no courses in the second year that are seriously related to game design in any way. The 30 credit project course is a terrible idea. By this time in the project the student has only learned about Graphical Interfaces, Design methodologies, Computer Graphics, and SImulation Engines. With no education provided about how develop or design a game, the students are tasked with doing just that. Since none of the faculty has ever actually done this, they are capable of providing very little feedback to this very challenging task. The students end up getting bogged down in the complex implementation details and generally end up with an uninspired project.»
- The course management of physical distribution should be changed. Some info in the course is good but the course need to be improved to be kept»
- It is OK but needs to be updated with current trends»
- More teachers with better experience especially from teaching...»
- See 35»
- There should be a compulsory thesis project in industry like in germnay, and the univerity must take this responisbility to give projects to students by collaborating with companies. There must be a compulsory 4 months languaue course for all students to learn swedish language so that can easily communication in public and can find the jobs easily.»
- irrelevant courses,too down streamed.»
- Matter Space Structure»
- I think programming should be less and more emphasize should be given on practical work in networking like routing , switching.......»
- some more courses with knowledge to students that they can choose as well.»
- Mer sammarbete med grundutbildningen på M och med andra mastersprogram»
- Nothing»
- The first study period in year 1.»
- way of examination, there should ba an open book examination for all courses to learn more about how to solve problems etc»
- Make better use of the knowledge students have. I.e. do "högskoleingenjörer" from Skövde and Chalmers have a good practical knowlege which the TD bachelors lack. It should be possible for the TD bachelors to develop their practical skill without forcing the "högskoleingenjörer" to do a lot of repetition.»
- remove biopolymers and biocomposites as a compulsory course»
- More elective courses from technological departments»
- No»
- Course structure of applied signal processing»
- The program layout. The coordinator.»
- Information availability and distribution. Berfore applying and when attending.»
- You need to have more instructors that can motivate and stimulate students because as far as I have seen there are limited number of instructors. »
- the compulsory courses »
- It should be more practical!»
- No really»
- Just the courses previously mentioned. Otherwise I am satisfied. »
- All the non-compulsory courses in this programme are really not good.»
- more oral presentations as examination and more contact with the industry»
- The Human-Centered Design course and its structure.»
- Make sure that the foreigen students are familiare with the language of English and apply a tution fee, I myself had to pay around $US 10000 per semester when studying abroad.»
- Some courses like data acquisition needs to be revised again and bioreator design needs a preparatory course for MATLAB. Also, it is good to set scientific visits in all courses in order to construct new ideas. »
- The courses like power system analysis and power system operations should not be taught by the same teacher.»
- Manufacturing startegy = Opeartion Startegy»
- Some courses have high workload.»
- Building in Society, International Projects. Especially Building in Society, the teacher is either incompetent or just ignorant.»
- Need more practical session»
- NA»
- nothing specific»
- courses»
- make the exams tougher to pass.»
- could be more flexible when choosing engine courses, safety courses or dynamics courses. After finish all base courses about these three orientations, there is no much time left to take advanced courses and related ones.»
- INFORMATION(!) about the programe. What courses to take. In what order and suggestions of courses. What courses are needed to apply for a degree. A guide how different courses can be combined and also how you can study at other programmes within chalmers. Most information I receive is the spoken word. The written information is mostly generel and havent helped my much so far.»
- Overall the techers need to be more pedagogical and better in English. There also should definitely be some kind of reception in order to get to know your fellow students»
- More consultations and feed-back on the assignments for it to be more business like.»
- Some of the lecturers have not had the abulity to lecture in english, and even if that person has been a really nice person and a good teacher, it has not been shown due to the lack of language skills, and instead, the lecturer has been a bit unpopular and seen as a bit rude, just because they sound different when they are struggling with the langugage. »
- Planning! And most importantly where the lectures are... it is a chalmers master program, but we do necer have lectures there! I miss having contact with chalmers and fellow students... why are we at Sahlgrenska..... when belonging to chalmers and handels. If I would have known this I would most probably nnot chosen this program... rather another one in the same category!»
- i think the only think that need to be changed is the way students form up group or work in groups. lecturer should decide the group for student to interact more and learn from culture backgrounds and behaviours.»
- Introducing more subjects related to this field such as (DFT,Verification etc.)»
- The coordinators for the exchange program within world wide exchange.»
- Maybe the order of the courses, as said before.»
- Exams.»
- Nothing important»
- Less lecture and more opportunity to practice in labs»
- More focus on supplying contacts with employers. The company contacts where often from sales and human relation departments instead of product development, so I think it was too little focus on supplying a master thesis contact and further a employment contact. THAT is what the educations all about!»
- More interaction with the professors. Involving in some projects in real life except Master thesis.»
- none»
- passive house studio under sustainable building should be changed into energy efficent housing, as it will be more international and general problem to be considered in architecture. »
- I cannot think up any.»
- Higher quality of education, better testing and teaching»
- As mentioned above, I am a bit sceptic as to whether Biopolymers really should be an obligatory course. It"s obviously more related to tissue engineering than any of the other obligatory courses are to any other tracks.»
- As mentioned before courses that won"t add any thing to you of they are not part of the research track you are going to pursue.»
- This programme should be more practical and not so muhch into research. We are in a very hands-on business, and trying to make us all scholars is not adequate for what we will in fact work with later on. What is up with writing academic essays/papers in ALL courses?!»
-
- Possibility of including Mandatory internships such as in the German universities can be included»
- this program is so course bases there is no research opportunities »
- i say more advance learning of softwares like ADS , MATLAB etc.Include HFSS we have not learn in our master program. »
- More Networking stuff as the course is Networks and Distributed systems........but so far we have learned very little about Networking, the only core course that we have in Networks is Internet Technology. More courses should be offered in networks track»
- Project and assignment work should be increase instead of final paper because project tasks are the actual area where the practical knowledge is achieved.»
- I don"t have such an impression »
- no opinion»
- The tutor at the Urban Design and Development studio»
- some workload»
- The programme need teachers that know how to talk english!»
- The administration is some times lacking in communication »
- The courses available from this program in the second year is ridiculus, here should be more options - I shouldn"t need to fix/tweak to get courses into my curriculum, they should be there as options from the start - even if they are from other master programs.»
- Get more feedback from the people in charge of the education.»
- MPC and more courses to choose»
- more advanced topics for electives in the second year.»
- The first exams were a bit tough for the foreign students. The first courses should really be aware of that and try to show how the system works, what kind of answers that are expected and such. You will spare them a lot of misery. »
- Less focus of industrial ecology courses and more on technical ones.»
- The number of computers should be increased for some courses.»
- Nothing,so far.»
- Additional subject or courses»
- some of the teachers is not very good at tecaching or english»
- Always make the groupings randomly, this way you force swedes to work with intenational students.»
- no comments»
- The course on Reliability and Thermal Management»
- this year it is too few international students»
- The courses previously listed should be revised. Some courses should also not be based 100% on a final examination. I believe that Masters courses should contain more project work (individual or in groups).»
- Increased demands/results - master students do not need to be baby-sitted, but the outcomes could be much higher if the teacher"s didn"t simply accept anything that"s turned in (often past deadline).»
- -The Product development project administration procedure. -Remove the technological/business tracks and let students choose courses freely.»
- Try to match the levels of the courses so they don"t overlap, make sure each course has its own place in the knowledge spectrum. In many of the masters courses you learn what you already learned in other bach/masters courses. There seem to be very little communication between teachers teacher different but similar topics.»
- Plaese, make it clear to the students from abroad that it is not ok to copy text froom the internet. they seem to think it is ok, i"m sure that they do not want to cheat, they just think it is ok to copy. and we swedish students then have to control all their text wich is a lot of unneccessairy work for us. »
- Production Logistics is an important subject, but not well educated.»
- Namnet. Det handlare bara om vatten inte något annat. Var i namnet kommer trafikplaneringen in?... Byt ut de kurser jag nämnt ovan, modelling, ESA! »
- the research opportunity is limited only have small projects which i think is not good for science subject. I think there should contains the course provide project which also we can get the credit from it. And the project should last one term . I know in some subject there is this kind of project but in applied physics in the first year there is not such course.»
- no opinion»
- The written examination of some very practical courses like Applied Industrial Ecology. Projects and practical work should have more weight and incentives, as examination should not be memory-based.»
- Maybe the arrangement of time of lectures»
- See question 35»
- It seems that in most courses the main focus is on the presentation,maybe it would be better if master students of architecture spent more time on their knowledge of building than a nice presentation.»
- The shorter courses have had to vague directions. The working environment in the A-house.»
- The courses not closed related to communication technology»
- The students. Too many students from some parts of Asia (e.g. Pakistan). Have them take a test before entering Chalmers.»
- No idea»
- the CFD course is very important. doing this course in one quarter is not good idea. we were thought whole book in just 3 weeks and then asked to do projects. this course should be extended to two quarters. and may be credits to 15.»
- More contact with companies within project courses.»
- the teachers have to plan ahead so that we can plan our life»
- The course Introduction to Engineering Mathematics could use better organization. The course Optimization (first course) would be better if it was smaller in scope. »
- Applied industrial ecology and Environmental management should be completely revised and the teachers changed.»
- It should be devided into smaller sections to satisfy the students»
- Let someone other than Johan Sandsjö give the Interaction Design Project course.»
- Persimon Kildal»
- Maybe adding another course in nanomaterials, for example bionanomaterials which some of the people in our year read.»
- Maybe little to many cases in the first courses. Better fewer and bigger cases where you can dig in a little deeper.»
- Fler kurser att välja på i år 2!»
- Better teachers - they might be great as researchers, but are not necessarily good teachers because of it.»
- not yet»
- The game engine course»
- nothing special!»
- More site visits, more practical elements to see the real life for those who have never been working in a company, or never been visiting a construction site for instance.»
- heavy work load»
- The mandatory courses. Biotechnology should do as Chemistry and Bioscience and have 10 cources of which you have to choose 6.»
- The little scope for involvement of International students in student activities (other than studies) as most of them are advertised or conducted in Swedish and the international students feels alienated»
- no opinion»
- More practical courses.»
- The PRoject Lifecycle Management course, had large problem with the software. Feelt like being on a small shitty school without reasource for the first time, problems, problems, problems.»
- Cooperation with other Master programmes should be more integrated into the the core of the programme.»
- some courses and some teachers should be changed»
- the diversity of the courses which makes students so confused that at last what is the subject that they are going to be expert in. as well as GROUP WORKS, because Swedish students always speak Swedish within the group work with each other and also it is not fair to give the same credit to all the members in the group. Using team work is just good in lower level studies not higher levels. »
- Professors should have more projects so students can work for them to put in practice what they have learned.»
- the coordinator»
- see Question 22.»
- Creating New Business" proffesor...»
- The choice you made to keep tution fees, I totaly against it. Well, you charged no fees to EU students who are from rich countries, but students from my country are poor, can"t even dream to study in Sweden any more. I am very unhappy for your dicission and sorry to say that we cannot come to Sweden for study any more. You might have few students who are really rich, but even they will not consider to come in Sweden. Because, I know, those rich students in my country they prefer to study in USA, UK, Canada or AUS. Rest of the poor students like me, preffered choice was Sweden. Now our hope and dream to receive some well higher education is stopped. This tution fee is just like a SLAP from Sweden to us who are poor. Wish you good luck you rich people.»
- The course Surface and Nanophysics!!!»
- Open more to architecture»
- See comments on courses above»
- The Game Design track should be more about Game Design and not Game Development. More industry contacts throughout the courses.»
- There Should be some change in Geo and Water courses in such a way that if an student wants to specialize in one of fields (Geo or Water) then he can do easily. It can be possible by increasing the number of subjects.»
- putting courses in each quater ,i mean it must be changed by knowing about which course is better to present in which quater »
- Courses needs to be added. Hire/contract personell that have the appropriate education and/or education that can teach things that are valuable in the long term. I think it should be more based around literature, good lectures and exercise instead of leaving it up to the students to learn from themselves. We´,re really ambitious but the problem is that you don´,t know where to look for good information. It is also hard to get an overview of big fields such as interaction design, interface design, aesthetics etc. and these are things that the program should help with.»
- The design studio options»
- Have a english course for the teachers.»
- Erik Ahlgrens course, Energy Systems Modelling and Planning. Worthless lectures, no new content in the lectures. The excercises were good though.»
- Not so many mandatory courses.»
- more access to the industry software..more lab assistants..more lab slots available..»
- I think it would be helpful if there was more structure around selecting a master"s thesis project - some well-defined process to help students find a topic and a good advisor. A collection of resources for finding a topic, a large collection of previous master"s theses, guidelines stressing the importance of having an advisor who has the time (and knowledge) to really help you.»
- 2 things: (1) A larger mix of students from different backgrounds. The majority of students on the IxD programme come from engineering/computing backgrounds, it would be nice to have more students from social science, philosophy, psychology, industrial design and other disciplines. (2) Grading feels like a carryover from Chalmers" more traditional courses. In a field such as IxD where experimentation is required, it is perhaps more conducive to do away with grades and let students experiment (and fail) any way they like without the fear of getting a "3" or a "4" instead of a "5".»
- Suggestions are given in questions 21 and 22.»
- No opinion.»
- Framförhållning i schemaläggning, information från lärarna, bättre struktur och större tydlighet!»
- All couses of the spring (MOP, Six Sigma and Research methodology) should be revised. MOP needs a more narrow content and a more engaged teacher, Six Sigma needs much more order and structure (for example to give us the project earlier than reeding week 6, and for example to have a dialouge with the industrial participants about whether their projects are suitable before they are admitted to be part of the course!), Reseach Methodology should really be considered once more why we should have it. Why do we need to learn how to write a master thesis, when rest of chalmers do excellent without this course? It should really be optional!»
- The teaching style and the content of some of courses. There seems to be a lot of pressure and stress on the teaching staff which is stopping them from teaching and motivating the students. Something needs to be done about that. Also collaboration with other universities and programs in terms of distance courses could be added (it is mentioned in the website, but is not being done)»
- The structure of courses, we often have very heavy courses in the same periods and deadline for projects, seminars etc at the same time.»
- Should functional analyses really be compulsary for everyone? I haven"t used anything of what I"ve learned there yet, and I doubt I will. Can"t it be a course you choose if you would like to work more theoretical?»
- For me it could use more of my knowledge from the Bioengineering bachelor. If i could choose more freely which courses to attend it would be good. Perhaps it is just the time that is not enough to satisfy all my interest.»
- IEFS and DTIM courses»
- Extend the course content»
- The PLM course should be better organized.»
- Host company.We can"t get much information by visiting it again and again. I mean, 4 times per year, that"s too much, and the company is just a small company. Some course are too difficult, like TEK175, I failed for two times. Some course are too theoretical,never have site visits, like TEK175,TEK115.They should improve.»
- The first period with Modeling and Eng. Geology courses was very time intensive. I think a few too many hours was spent in class.»
- More deepen knowledge, not favourble to have a bachelor in industrial engineering and management since its a lot of old stuff in order to help students with different experience.»
- Mer kurser som är relaterade till verkliga yrkeslivet.»
- Environmental management and applied industrial ecology. »
- No opinion»
- Preknowledge tests in teh beginning of each course, to set the level. Everyone would benefit. The qualified students would get better education. Those who lacks important preknowledge would get to know what level to be expected, and either learn or choose a more approperate course.»
- multiple choice exams are totally unrelevant»
- The problem is that all the rest of the courses also feels like intriductions, and not indepth courses. »
- Incentives to participate at projects with specified time frame and deliverables.»
- It"s to broad, no one can only read courses they are interested in. Everyone have to read some course they don"t feel is relevant for them.»
- A practical project thar runs along the master, where you can start modelling when you do modelling and simulation, making kalman filters when you do signal processing and controlling it when you do digital control and nonlinear and adaptive control»
- everything is good»
- some of courses like design process and management should be changed.»
- less re-exams(only once is enough for the students)»
- The masters thesis is very unorganized, it was very difficult to find an examinator and not every student has the opportunity to take a preparation course. More guidance as to this process is needed as well as a fixed schedule in advance. Expectations for the final delivery are also unclear. »
- Remove Intro to Auto possibly.»
- No opinion.»
- Maybe more focus on geo technical engineering »
- dont know»
- As a student it feels like there are almost no cooperation between the masters programme and the companies in the power industry. Much more corporate information and study visits are needed. As a student you dont understand how the power industry work and what emplyee options there are after finishing the educations. This is also good to have before making the choice of which MP to study.»
- the evaluation of some courses»
- The time confict between compusary courses and optional courses should be changed, and some course, like medicine for the engineer can be revised or shortened.»
- instead of having the interaction design project stretch over two periods - have it as the only course in one period. it was difficult to really dive into the project while having to juggle the other courses.»
- More info about courses so you know what to choose. This could be good since there are so many to choose from.»
- Per Salomonsson shouldn"t lecture any important courses, and preferably no courses at all.»
- The projects should be more controlled and increasingly deal in roleplay (teacher assigning project managers and others. Now its a MESS since we dont know project management tools other than from experience aand our own imagination!)»
- Somehow add some more group events of the students within the program. It is also very helpful to have some of these in the first half year which include second year students with first year students.»
- some similar courses»
- Course page stating career opportunities.»
- teachers those are very poor in english.they just make things even more difficult for students. in some cases students just lose interest for the course.»
- Malin Kjellberg»
- The course Interaction Design Methodology. Add another game-related course.»
- A lot of interesting courses are situated in the spring term. However we take the autumnperiod twice andd the spring once meaning that there is a alck of interesting courses the second time you attend the autumn term.»
- The course Management of Physical Distribution, change it for another course!»
- nothing particular»
- Higher standards on students english!!»
- Don"t change coordinators of the program for more than one time. »
- Dont know»
- "Heat and moisture engineering"»
- the overlap between some of the courses»
- remove of modify Advanced Distributed system course, or at least rename it to reflect what is given in the course. Distributed System course should be given in a different way, may be by a different instructor, from a different book. Real time system, change the programming language from Ada, to C. »
- Source Coding teacher and digital communication course teacher.»
- The course structure, Avoid technical and management structure. There should only be Masters in product development.»
- digital control and global chemical sustainability.»
- The course list could be increased. More electives could be added that focus on Analog designing.»
- the organistaion and information in all but lEnas courses, »
- You should introduce compulsory Internship ..there is no opportunity to work no TA or RA for masters students ...thats absurd... No motivation from University»
- Ralfs english is terrible, might make the foreign students misunderstand a lot of things.»
- too many reports»
- The area of specialization, IT is quite diverse so after Masters good to have some specific field»
- Better communication from the school directors.»
- some courses should be added.»
- Coordinate the different courses in order to reduce the redundancy between them.»
- - some courses outline »
- I think that the structure of some courses, the content is to long and things are seeing just as overview. The course on Sustainable Power Production and Transportation is way too light, it should be splitted into 3 or 4 where things could be better studied. A couple of courses on Wind Power (which I think is one of Chalmers stronger fields) should be given.»
- no opinion»
- I think their is some need for more economic thinking. »
- Programming classes should be added. More profession-oriented skills should be given, hence we need to work with communication or networking equipment (i.e. CISCO).»
- The building in society course»
- Better MTS courses to chose from!»
- More courses are needed in the digital design domain. I suggest that some basic level courses shall be introduced in the beginning such as designs big circuits using basic logic gates etc.»
- The number of teacher in the power system area. Only one is in charge of giving lectures of around 4 courses. Having more teachers will help to support effectively students outside lecturer times.»
- 2nd year courses»
- I wish you had better elective courses.»
- Overall quality and requirements.»
- The approach to different topics in a random way. It should be more specific and narrow in order to take courses in one direction. (e.g. If you want to follow the road path, environmental path, geotechnic path, etc. or at least make a mix of several in an organize way)»
- the concertations-some of them can be not only individual or with a projector but on a round table with the other colleagues»
- too many things to do during the material preformance course...»
- Safetu course»
- The elective courses. You loose many students who wants to study for example geotechnics because they dont want the water-related courses.»
- Compulsory courses should be eligible. »
- The atmosphere of the program should be International, without any racial discrimination. All opportunities should be equal for all students from different countries, regardless of their nationalities. In mater of Microtechnology, It seems that one specific nationality benefit more advantages. It clearly affects the motivation and cooperation of other students to get involve in certain research areas. Qualification of students should done base on their personal abilities and works. Not on their race or nationality. It is impossible to generalize the abilities of students by the country the are from. »
- MORE PROFESSORS IN THE AREA OF POWER SYSTEMS»
- "Wireless networks" and "Advanced topics in networks and distributed systems" need a serious change of course plan»
- Less overlaps and higher expectations about earlier knowledge. Now a lot is mostly overview and little deep knowledge. »
- to many things were repeated in course after course»
- some course may last little longer»
- Additional courses and possibility to select between cources in the programme modern and updated equipment (computers measurement devices) more space to work for students»
- The "Energy Systems Modelling and Planning" course.»
- It is possible to pass all courses without knowing how to write a single command in Matlab. All you have to do is be assigned to a project group where someone will work for you. A school like CTH should not allow this»
- some organization issues in the second semester, regarding schedules and support at some courses»
- Every lecturer starts by saying that this course or the exam he will have is the hardest one you will ever have. No wonder people get stressed in a really bad way.»
- BOM050 Organisational project management»
- The VEF course, higher requirements on business knowledge for applicants, make courses more advanced»
- Göran Lindhal»
- The attitude of the programme coordinator.»
- Do not let people that have never taught before start by teaching a course at masters level.»

38. Do you have any general suggestions for improvement of Chalmers Master programme?

- 1-increasing the number of elective courses 2-helding the new software training courses»
- Add the course or content from "Transformer och differentialekvationer" (Transforms and differential equations) to the program.»
- No, the master is good, the problem is the bachelor.»
- Bring industry closer to university!»
- With my track, i see an issue when i see that the tracks in the program have benen poorly defined. They say that if i want to have a track in biological physics i have to take courses in biological physics and biotechnical physics. I take these and realise they are not enough. Now i am wasting time finding more relavent courses. It would be good if i could find all the information together in one place.»
- yes,there are lots of student without proper background and interest and just waste others time. the admission should be more careful»
- The elective courses in the second study period in the second year could be improved. The offering now is not particularly attractive. The amount of information about the elective courses in the fall period, no separate information day was held for this.»
- Höj kompetensnivån hos utbytesstudenter, de drar ofta ner nivån på kursinnehållet.»
- Better contact between the people studying. More clear structure in the courses. More time with the class learning general goals about secure and dependable computing, haven"t heard anything since I started. The course really need more swedes, we were 3 out of 30 or something my year. That"s just wrong, the course needs to be better promoted locally. If I wanted to be an exchange student I would travel from here.»
- Remove Managing operations improvement and do not be afraid to push the students a little even if students complain that the burden is heavy. The burden has generally been lower than during the bachelor years. »
- YES, there is a lack of supervision for master thesis and also Master thesis topics in the field of biomedical engineering which should be improved, otherwise I think this Master program doesn"t worth to remain!!!»
- Higher demand on English on both teachers and students.»
- Better courses during the spring the first year»
- Better coordination of topics for reports and types of assignments etc. There has sometimes felt like too much repetition in both content and execution. Also, some of the things that have worked very well in some courses (lets say, literature seminars) have worked quite poorly in other courses: Better communication & to pick a "best approach".»
- no»
- There should be distinct "paths" among the electable courses. For example computiation, sustainability, HVAC...»
- knowledge level from the international students»
- Make sure the chalmers students can pick the right courses to get the civilingenjör title along with the master (no conflicting courses).»
- I think the study periods are short, and there is not enough time for me to deepen my knowledge in the courses. »
- Make sure exchange studdents have the necessary knowledge of language and main topic of master programme.»
- Make sure that all students have the necessary skills in English to read, interpret and producs high-quality articles and reports. During my master"s program I often had to re-write the contributions from some students - mostly students with an international background - to make the text in question even readable. It is not realistic to expect all members of a group to contribute equally when one of the team members is having a difficult time just following the most basic discussions held in English. This places an extra burden on the other students in the team but mainly induces a feeling of guilt and/or awkwardness for the person with the lower level of English which is most unfortuneate. »
- management should enhance communication with international students»
- mo idea»
- That teachers/administration takes it more seriously. Sometimes its"s hard to get hold of a teacher for question or administrative issues. Some ignores e-mails and does not provide sufficient information on the course home pages. It seems as if the courses are prioritized less from the teachers and they have moer "important" things to do.»
- It is better to design the programmes as well as the number of student in accordance with the market requirements. Also it is better to present some swedish courses for international student, so they won"t leave the country after finishing studies because of not knowing the language. »
- Clarify what is necessary when it comes to course selection. Some courses are mandatory to take but are not part of the pre-selected courses. It should be made clear what is expected from the students.»
- It is not quite as much a programme as the bachelor programme is. It is more a collection of courses. »
-
- Bredare kursutbud»
- Keep up the good work!»
- The workload is a bit too high.»
- More cases»
- See 35 and 37.»
- To chose a masters programme is the most important choice at Chalmers. Please spend more then 15 min on the programmes presentations.»
- Again, provide access to Swedish lessons»
- Three tracks can be more integrated!»
- Make syllabus little so it is easy for students to go through it»
- the core course can be related to the industry more tightly»
- Better information. The current system is a mess!»
- The coordination between the master coordinator, the student centre and the rest of the program is a catastrophy. I haven"t been very hit by it personally but I heard all kind of bad examples of how people have been promised different things from different "coordinators". I really think that every student should have an individual study plan that has to be agreed upon AND SIGNED before starting the master. Then the student has to talk so someone and the two have to update AND SIGN the new plan when something been changed compared to the first plan. »
- Teachers and student interaction should increased. He should spare some time at least 5 to 10 min for any student questions. »
- No»
- Pay more attention towards »
- Administration is good. It would be good to have more unofficial interaction between students themselves and staffs.»
- Keep on updating what is going on in the industry. Prepare the students for the reality in the industry. Give teachers education in pedagogical ability.»
- Yes, there should be more emphasis on the general field of interaction design, what it is, what professions exist, and an overview of the main principles. The mentality and design thinking needs to be introduced way earlier, instead of more technical courses like ubiquitous computing and graphical interfaces. Basic psychological principles of human behavior, knowledge of the interaction field is required but absent.»
- An introduction to MATLAB and programming for international student.»
- introduce a check for copy and paste! Utbytesstudenterna kopierar allt för ofta, och inget händer!»
- Entry requirements to the programme should be revised as many of students admitted are not even ready to carry on courses in English or lack basic knowledge of the subject. Less burocracy when it comes to Student centre and paper-work. Also another important thing: allow international students to go abroad on exchange as well - they are also CHALMERS students!!!»
- First of all, the staff needs to cooperate instead of defeating eachother, giving the students contra orders. First when there is a managmenent that work together it is possible to create a good educational environment for the students.»
- 1) A good idea would be to have some kind of activities for the students of the different master"s programmes at the start of the programme to get to know each other, or at least someone. As it is now, the foreign students have some activities at the start, but the students who come directly from the Chalmers" bachelor programmes do not, which leads to an immediate separation which is then easily carried on through the programme. 2) In one course I ended up working with a student from my programme who barely knew how to program. I have no idea how the admissions work for students coming from other schools than Chalmers, but perhaps they need to be more restrictive and thorough.»
- -Increase the difficulty, people could learn much more!»
- its really good»
- Less international student with bad english skills. They don´,t do anything good for the education, except giving Chalmers some better statistics in terms of being an international education provider.»
- 1) Summer Internships 2) Involvement with Research groups 3) Teaching assistantships, if possible 4) Frequent interaction with industry via industry visits to companies like Ericsson etc 5) Interaction with bachelor students of same stream»
- No tolerance for cheating, neither on exams nor in project reports, just like in the undergraduate programs.»
- no, it is good»
-
- We get a lot of information from the student portal. I just could not figure out the point of the new portal. I would say the old one works better for me.»
- I found the opportunity to work with industry that arose during some courses very interesting and useful. This focus on industrial experience, either through projects with companies, theses with companies or lecturers from industry can benefit the students taking part in this programme.»
- Make them harder - so sad that allmost everyone I have talked to about several master programs the tempo and level decreases drastically!»
- Be more open, be broader, make the syudent realize how to go from idea to product and out in the world by yourself, a more entrepreneurial Software Engineer.»
- Make it easier to go abroad by putting all the obligatory courses at the autumn. Schedule for exchange studies are easier to fit in the spring, since most universities in Europe start their semester much later than Chalmers do. Or make it easier for the students to get studies abroad approved as covering up for missed obligatory courses. The way it is now, many students hesitates about going abroad since they know it will mean a lot more work for them and the possibility that they won"t be able to graduate in time.»
- Better information regarding what availible elective courses there are and what rules that apply.»
- Linear algebra revision or the base for Comm Engg.»
- There should be some reserved TA"s other than PhD students because PhD students are normally quite busy in their own work this might be the reason that they don"t perform well. List of elective courses related to Communications Engineering should be increased. They are very less.»
- Keep people like Jonas Larsson and Mats Magnusson (just to mention a few) that triggers you and help you evolve.. and especially listen to students and take what they say seriously. Plus, there must be higher quality of the foreign students so that we do not have to educate them in reference (plagiarism) and how to write papers. An initial course for the foreign students is needed and some requirements for them to start here, for instance language skills (english).»
- Focus on single specilization not all the things and wasting of time.»
- I think the only thing which was very sad for me as a full master student from Chalmers from a foreign country that i arrived here and had to sleep a couple of weeks under a bridge in the city of gothenburg because Chalmers is offering only to Erasmus people living rooms ... this could not be! If there are people coming for example from Brazilia or a far way from the world to spend here money and study as a full master student the should be able to get a living room from Chalmers student houses ... or what do you think ? Compare if you will be in this situation what do you think ?»
- I think we need more technical, contructural knowledge.»
- need more high quality students. »
- Check the ability to speak English for all students. Many students can write in English, but do not master spoken English sufficiently.»
- Attitude of some professors/lecturers could use so improvement»
- I think the general policy of reducing the amount of international students from next year is not a wise decision for the quality of the education at Chalmers.»
- Hire better teachers, that can actually teach and speak English. Make the master into something else than just a repetition of the Bachelor.»
- The computer labs in my department are very old try to update them and appoint some good course instructor and administrator for my program.»
- Stress the importance of teaching in English to everyone that teach at a Master programme. I was not affected by it in my programme, but I know of other students who complained about their teachers inability/resistance to teach in English.»
- Ge svenskspråkiga mastersprogram vid sidan av de engelska. Det är underligt att bli undervisad och tilltalad på ett främmande språk i sitt eget land. Skulle exempelvis fransmännen, tyskarna osv. acceptera att deras modersmål blev degraderat till ett andra klassens språk? Det svenska ingenjörsspråket riskerar att utarmas. Vidare är det till stor del svenska skattemedel som finansierar undervisningen, vilket gör det hela än mer märkligt.»
- I really think that the way the system works with giving money for people passing a course is probably the single most damaging factor in the whole education system and I don"t see why you are accepting the situation.»
- I felt everything good.»
- The course literature (or lack of course lit.). I feel like I do not have the library that I need for looking up and reading on my own to gain a better retrospective.»
- More coordination, every modules seems to want to include "corporate strategy" and I dont know how many times we have had lectures with porter... Maybe one 15p strategy course would be better than including it in small portions in all courses.»
- Employ a student representative as they have in the bachelor program. It seems to work well there and it is defenitely needed! I don"t get the feeling that the course evaluations actually lead somewhere. »
- Yes include more of the dynamic behaviour in systems»
- there should be more emphasize on lab work rather then course work. We do not get any grades for our labs. I think like Communication Engineering program, there should be gradings for the labs.»
- Market biotechnology to the employers. They need us, but they need to know that they do.»
- more challenges in labs»
- No»
- No»
- Include more company visits, more videos in the lectures and more cases of study where you can actually think and analyze in class »
- make sure that the teachers know what the students know, from the bachelors and previous master courses, so they can build on that. even if we have different background, everyoe shoul have approximately the knowledge gained in the bachelor I at chalmers, and we should be able to use and build on that knowledge. Give feedback on assignments etc. today its done very briefly, and almost always after the courses has ended so theres little possibility to improve. every assignment should be handed in twice. The master program is also the end of 5 years engineering studies, therfore it should be possible to study technical courses at master level. better cooperation with industry, regarding projects etc. More practical work and knowledge. more individual assignments, not only group work. »
- make a Nollning with all students from the programme, not only for those coming not from Chalmers»
- I think they maybe should look at the huge differences in work-effort contra given points between the courses at the programme.»
- No»
- Give more thought to ways of evaluating. »
- It would be better if to use more international references (literatures. Sometimes it seems that we learn just how to be good in Swedish circumstances and we would not be able to compete fro example with American students. It is better to look at the international standards. »
- More guest lectures and activities related to industry.»
- A master portal with information from all master on Chalmers.»
- A way to see how many and what kind of credits you need for your degree.»
- No opinion»
- lecturers of random processes, source coding, and wireless networks (the main lecturer) should get a pedagogical course to learn how to teach. they know what they are talking about, but the teaching approach is very poor.»
- Regulate and set standards for language requirements of students! There has been a number of problems with exchange students. In most cases, it"s a matter of plagiary during written assignments. When confronted they say that it"s a matter of bad language skills. When this occurs, in most cases these students get by because other students rewrite their parts, but it is a disservice in the end. This means that these students pass on assignments where they have not contributed, even after multiple interventions from the other students. (when you proofread a text 3 times or more and tell the person what the problem is and where it is, and that person finds a new text on the web and plagiates again, there is not so much that you can do...) Plagiated text is delivered, time after time. This is not taken up because of deadlines and other time pressing matters, which would be delayed in the case of a the long debate that this could turn out to be. Most of the time it could be considered a case for disciplinary committee. NOTE! As this occurs, not all exchange students are guilty of this kind of behavior. Some are trying very hard and doing their best, and when that is not enough, take help from their classmates. The problem is when we are all awarded the same kind of degree after completed masters program, and some of us have passed where others should not have. To prevent this from happening, there should be written (and hopefully oral) testes for English language level for the students applying for masters program.»
- Some advance course contents should be added »
- It could be worth to consider a bachelor programme that is more focused towards materials, upon which the master can later be built. This could give the student a better possibility to focus their master on areas of interest like metals, ceramics, polymers etc instead of having to study a little bit of everything in the master. The "little bit of everything" could be completed during the bachelor.»
- all good!»
- In general, all I can say is that the level is far too low when compared to the Bachelor programme I attended. Without excruciating effort I have completed the MSc in one year, which in my opinion shows that the pace could be almost doubled. If Chalmers is to be a competitive university, the requirements on the students must be much higher.»
- no»
- more companies represented»
- Make feel more like a programme with a aim. Not just a selection of courses.»
- I guess its quite well.»
- better possibilities for printing, better description of courses (for example the elective course Risk Management and Safety is one of the worst courses in terms of unecessary workload and relevance to the QOM program)»
-
- There should be some optional swedish language course for international students as its also a mandatory requirement of the industry in Sweden.»
- Rarely it happens that some guest lecturer have some lecture notes in Swedish or even speak in Swedish! in a big international university like Chalmers all the materials and staff should be available and usable by international students!»
- could add more master programme and courses»
- Better information before your search for mastersprograme. What corses you need to change to be able to search different masters programes etc. this information is abit hard to find and fuzzy.»
- Deeper courses, not general ones. General courses are presented to bachelor students so that they choose their favorite specializations later on.»
- Change the director. Please. I know that many, many students agree with me, we have discussed the matter many time, but it is very hard to raise the subject with the responsible, since it is quite a sensitive matter.»
- Swedish speaking students kind of keep to themselves...cant work with them in projects cuz after like 10 min or so they start speaking in swedish...so feels kind of left-out...»
- more renewable energy (as suggested before, specific courses on it), environmental risk management as an elective course»
- adding scientific writing related course»
- More types of projects?»
-
- Not force someone who"s gonna focus on e.g. Optimization to take Found. of. Prob. Theory which doesn"t give much for that special focus and as mentioned previously that course is not good anyways. So one should be able to focus even more on a certain subject .»
- it content too wide region»
- Good network with former students working in the companies. The present condition of former students, like where they work and what they do, are most needed information.»
- »
- Make the programme harder and more focused, it is a bit too broad as it is right now.»
- Accommodation is an important part of student life and the fact that international students get no help whatsoever from the university regarding accommodation takes a lot of their attention away from the studies in the first couple of months. »
- Some sort of reception acticities should be organized! Including both international as well as swedish students. »
- no opinion»
- I think some of the teachers should be evaluated for their english skills. Because I think they all have a good knowledge about their field but for them to exlain it well depends only on their English language knowledge.»
- The programme should organize some kind of social introduction for the new student. A presentation with short background and some get-to-know-each-other-activities. We had nothing at all! Just a short introduction with general information and then nothing!»
- Good mixture of international students,but some how the study literature are in Swedish,that could be a barrier for international students.»
- I would defenitely like to be more guided (personal and in group) every time it is time to choose courses. Despite good information on the student portal it"s sometime important to discusse goals and choices with someone.»
- professors, not really good as expected. some so old, not up to date. not easy to understand them. »
- I feel there should be a greater integration between particularly foreign ans swedish students.»
- We had severe problems with some of the foreign students who appear to lack the necessary education. Nearly 1/3 of the students seemed incapable of basic undestanding of most of the subjects. This resulted in extreamly heavy work for the rest of the students since we are not allowed to choose lab partners. It also appeared that during the time we spended in the lab trying to get the labs done they were studing for the exam. This resulted in that some of those students got excelent grades without any real understand of the subject at all. This is very apperent during the large project since they are unable to the the basic things they SHOULD know from pereviuse courses. The only course of action i can see is to have higher controll for all students when the apply for the master program. For example have some sort of test (This is used in other sorts of edducation so i dont see why we cant use here also) to controll that they have the basic understanding of the subject. This schould of course be applied both Swedish and foreign students,»
- You should take admission test before recruiting any foreign master student in your programs. You are spending huge money behind a student but you are not taking quality student specially from Asia. You know the education standard of your bachelor student but you dont know the education standard of Asian student.There are some universities in Asia which are very poor but the student of that university has cgpa 4(out of 4).But that student is not good although having good cgpa.Again there are some universities in asia which are very good and whose student are very good although their cgpa is poor.Because it is easy to get good cgpa in lower quality university compare to good university.So dont recruit foreign student only considering their cgpa.Consider the local rank of the university or take admission test.Then you will get quality student who is fit to enter your million dollars labs and enjoy other facility.»
- Perhaps make the programs more strict to their branches and cease the amount of optional courses.»
- The courses would have been scheduled so that more low in the fall when you read the two fall semesters and a spring. More Fall courses and fewer springcourses »
- More women»
- 1. Include more statistical based courses or atleast add sections in courses as all the research involves around mathematics. 2. Provide more information in English. Even in the student center most of the magazines and general info is in swedish 3. Student union should represent all students which means the information that it gives should be in english along with swedish. 4. Chalmers claims to be an international university but it is not as most of the extra-curricular activities are aimed at swedish students.»
- it would be better if more practiical things are applied in courses»
- I am not sure about this question, but maybe the courses could be designed in a better way according to the current development of communication field.»
- The swedes take, in generally, more responsibility than the other studens in all group work. But I realize there is nothing to do about it, but it lowers the master impression generally.»
- Make sure that the international students have the right background! I have unfortunately had experience of very unprepared students (especially in the geocourses). The education suffers if you have to put the lessons and work on a very basic level, even though it is an advanced course!»
- More informations on the web pages!»
- No»
- I think the masters programs Materials and Nanotechnology (MPMNT) and Chemistry and bioscience could be one masters program with different tracks. »
- More contact with the cordinator during the studdy time»
- imho, the assumption that the students are already experts in the theoretical area is somewhat incorrect. The whole masters programme "feels" like a "SoC IC implementation guide 101". However implementation is a second step and is preceeded by a strong theoretical base. DSP theories etc before implementation specific details about DSP theories would be nice to gather everybody on the knowledge reference point. MCC090 together with a course like SSY130. And the following link might be relevant information http://www.gaisler.com/doc/vhdl2proc.pdf A course that say "this is what we assume you know, but let us repeat it to make sure we are all on the same page"»
- A more active programe coordinater»
- Remove the unnecessary new rules regarding master thesis.»
- Nope»
- more pedagogic teaching»
- I want to learn more about pumps, compressors, turbins, CAD and säkerhetsventiler.»
- I just can say, during the exam period, it was really hard to find a place to study, like a group room(gruprum) or free place at the library. Perhaps it would be a good idea to consider more free places according to number of students enrolled in.»
- The preparation to a future job is not enough present. For example, one could think that a master thesis in a company prepares to a future job in that company. But such a situation is very hard to find. »
- A better welcoming and information about the school, where to find things etc when you first arrive. »
- I think the course Sustainable Building A, B and C should be in the autumn semester and the Sustainable Building - Competition in the Spring semester, since for arriving students the other options work with two broad subjects and notfocused on the technical knowledge. I mean that I would prefer having taken the course Sustainable Building A, B and C last semester and not the one I took.»
- Have a more practical approach, run project courses where you experience running a real smal scale project (Think big, be ambigious, we are capable!)»
- better information about the courses and administration in general.»
- remove it»
- Have mandatory courses in english for students that need it. Let students without experience in biotechnology have several months of introduction in the subject.»
- The way we apply the design process must be more integrated with mechanical engineering and economics...»
- Try to integrate the exchange students better with all the student activities that are available on the bachelor level.»
- Maybe the students of Chalmers Master programmes, should participate in educational trips sponsored by Chalmers. »
- i think that it is hard to find information on chalmers webpage. It´,s not logic. Also the information specific for the master program is hard to find and is not complete. The info often some late and it is hard to find dates on when the program start etc. The new student portal is not as good as the old one. »
- It would be interesting to have content related to resolution of conflicts in projects and financial assessments of investment projects.»
- in my opinion it would be better if we can get a clear knowledge on one sepecific track rather than just touching all the aspects of NDS. »
- yes since chalmers is international university every thing should have to be in english some time leacture pdf is in swedesh and some material and book are in swedesh....it is hard for me sometime to couch up.»
- add more courses!»
- MORE COORDINATION WHEN A COURSE IS TAUGHT BY SEVERAL PERSONS. SECOND PERIOD SENSATION OF NOT COORDINATION AMONG THE SUBJECTS, MUCH UNCONNECTED. MUCH BETTER WHEN A COURSE IS ENTIRELY TAUGHT BY ONE PROFESSOR (LIKE FIRST PERIOD)»
- I think a lot more effort should be put into creating a student group for masters students. There was no room for masters students in the student union section structure, at least not in D/IT. I hope master students will have their own section in the future. I think this is even more important with the high number of foreign students in the programmes so that they are bunched together with the Swedish master students right away. They have even less of a chance of feeling that they belong in the old sections.»
- Well, I think it is excellent to have so many foreign students, I think we all benefit from it. But I"ve worked with students whose English is in no ways understandable. Perhaps a language "test" before you can start a Master programme? And also I think that Chalmers needs to explain its rules to foreign students, for example regarding copy-pasting from the Internet and what rules apply during an exam.»
- Maybe some courses in management and/or leadership»
- replace some teachers, and i think that those teachers should be able to speak english fluently or else the lectures would be useless.»
- All students should have access to learning swedish if possible, it could be a part of the course encouraging students to learn.»
- Re structure the project course. DO NOT let the results from the small tests affect the final grade to the extent that they do now. More projects connected to the commercial and industrial life would be great.»
- I think in Master level,Chalmers needs to have more cooperation with companies and organizations,I mean it would be better if students could have more study visit during their studying.»
- The selection process is not very effective, and some admitted students are not motivated enough, perhaps the process could be improved.»
- Give us more insight in the industry. When you graduate from the chemistry and bioscience maser you have very little knowledge regarding where to find jibs and what companies are acive in this field.»
- finding the good master thesis in Chalmers (in technical programs )is not easy for students. »
- Theo mastercoordinators are nearly never reachable nor do they answer emails»
- Industry collaboration should be increased. If possible the department can arrange some job placement. Every ex-job/placement should be published in the web and managed fairly.»
- A more international scope on what sustainable design means.»
- I would like the teachers to talk to each other about the content. I have seen the lecture by 3 girls (recently graduated) regarding the future flooding situation of Gothenburg totally 3 times but in different courses and done 2 different projects at Heurlins Plats. »
- Make sure that the persons who apply really are skilled in English, both orally and written. My experience is that many (Swedes and international) students really suck at basic knowledge like topic sentences and general paragraphing. And frankly, I did not join the masters programme to become a third grade English teacher. This really gets me tired since I have no time to hold private lectures on such a low level. Revise the prerequisites regarding English proficiency!»
- Try to excel. Develop standards. Borrow from other Universities. Encourage good students, help struggling students. Not all students are the same, not all work is equal, and in order to excel we can"t have an academic culture that refuses to be critical. »
- Possibility to choose a minor in a different topic. »
- IMPROVE THE ENGLISH AND THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE EXCHANGE STUDENTS!!!!!! We are lucky at Business design since we are admitted through interview, but overall at Chalmers the level of the education decreases substantially since the international student very often lack in knowledge, but even more, in language skill. The learning process gets very difficult this way! I do very much appreciate the chance to work in an international environment and to learn to work in cross cultural teams, but the situation at Chalmers right now is not encouraging and it is mostly only frustrated. The focus of the projects gets often changed to teach them the subject and how to write a report. Suggestion: Introduce mandatory english test with much higher requirement that there are today and start following up and only accept student with valid and good bachelor exams that fulfills the requirements. There are very skilled and ambitious international students coming to Chalmers, focus on getting them and to keep up the quality, instead of trying to reach as many as possible. I prefer quality before quantity! (I base this on the fact that if a Chalmers student goes to the US, we need to do a english test. )»
- Let the management of technology department give management relate courses instead, they know what they"re doing!»
- The program is good, but improvements are always there, it would be better if you introduce some Swedish classes within the chalmers.»
- Nej»
- REVISE the introductionary courses, add more independent problem solving. Like measurement setup designs. »
- Every things is ok. Still i didn"t see anything other than the instructors that better be changed. »
- It would have been good if the co-ordinator comes from the bioinformatics or atleast pure systems biology field.»
- n/a»
- better to add some practical afterschool tutorial»
- Usually students faced a great difficulty in finding thesis in their areas of interest. So there should be some good arrangement to help the students in this regard.»
- Dont bring in teachers if they cannot teach in english. »
- I would love to have more practical sessions in each of the courses that we take in this programme .. »
- even more contact with industry. invite speakers, trips to companies etc. more possibilites for us as students to networking with people in industry.»
- I wouldn"t have mind a voluntary course to brush up my english, both written and spoken.»
- They should be more organized and demanding»
- electric motor course needed»
- state somewhere that vhdl is heavily used during the programme.»
- Be able to read the education in swedish. Today you cannot become an engineer if you want to study in swedish. »
-
- I think, for the interaction design programme, the education should be more focused on creating a beginning of a portfolio since this is what many companies demand when searching you start searching for a job.»
- I worry a bit about how the students coming from other universities are welcomed and find people to study with. This may be improved by asking the current students if there are any willing to plan and execute some type of activity outside school time to let everybody get to know each other.»
- the selected courses sometimes coincide with each other »
- Professors should teach us instead of PhD students!»
- The common ones Chalmers is lousy at. Hand out soloutions. Have the course ready when it starts! It is devestating not having the ability to plan more than one week ahead since the proffesor dont want to fix lab-shedules or hand out instructions of the course.»
- More accessibility to approach professors at non-lecture hours. More opportunities for Master"s thesis within the core topics. »
- try to show placement after the master degree because placements at chalmers can alone knows which courses in each programme and which is suitable for a company to recruit. »
- The courses in automation and manufacturing processes are very similar to courses in the Automation and Mechatronics program. »
- More information about the recommended courses and have a few example schedules. That would help planning the studies and getting an idea of which types of courses that are suitable in combination.»
- no»
- Read above. »
- Let the lecturers learn better english»
- it would be better if there are more opportunities to contact companies.»
- I think exmainations must be removed because most of the students understand the whole course and do well in projects and laboraties work. but fail to pass in exmas. this make them tense allthrough the study period and make them less innovative and active.»
- I believe that the general policy of internationalization of chalmers was really a good idea, but the strange thing is that some departments like TD do not care about it at all although they run the master program in english.»
- - Position the methodology course in the beginning of the programme. - Take a day to sit down together and compare the content of the different courses. IF the same theory and models are present in several courses, delete the "duplicates" and add other models in the later courses in order to provide a deeper understanding (ex. of duplicate: Porter"s Five Force model).»
- The accessibility of selectable courses. If you want to read courses from other programs they can be hard to find. Fewer compulsory courses. »
- No»
- too many teachers lack sufficient pedagogical skills»
- develop some more specializations ,such as:financial mathematics, actuary »
- less bias and swedish speakings. »
- This is a good university which deserves more attention from around the world.»
- There should be a written test in English for all students so that the variances in the language is eliminated.»
- no»
- The information about elective courses, what, where and when?!»
- More practical project or trainee, less theoretical lectures.»
- It will be good regarding the master program in communication engineering that more courses must be added to make it more attractive for wireless communication specialization. We are lucky that Chalmers has a majority of highly professional and talented teachers, and they can deliver more, but its the management who needs to erview courses for better perspectives.»
- increas the accessibility between students and teachers. From my point of view, it have been hard to get in touch with teachers due to the code-door to their departments.»
- make it expensive!»
- add another "signal processing" course to the MPCOM program»
- någon gång under år 1-5 på I-linjen MÅSTE det finnas en Corporate Finance kurs!!! mitt förslag: gör något VETTIGT av ekonomisk analys 1+2. just nu är det två riiiiktiga kalle anka-kurser! helt meningslösa, gör nått vettigt av dem = 7,5 hec Corporate Finance + 7,5 makro/microekonomi»
- no idea»
- Orientation for international students is quite necessary to get accustomed to Sweden and Swedish Technical education system. This is somewhat lacking in Chalmers. International students can be given some special programmes before start of classes to get a feel for the conditions at Chalmers and Sweden.»
-
- No»
- see 37 and 36.»
- so far not»
- Give up power point. Seriously. »
- I am very satisfied with this masters programme. I have no general suggestions.»
- Offer funding for conferences for Master"s thesis students»
- Add some Swedish language and cultural courses for all Master Students so that they can able to understand the Swedish culture and will interact more than before»
- More projects courses.»
- I think teachers knowledge in this program is poor. The program in not well organized and it is not based on standards are studying in other universities. It seems the organizer try to make something new but the result is strange and wasteful.»
- let more people know it»
- With this intensive eduction system it is more useful to teach us how to apply different methods instead of algorithms beyond each method or application which can be studied by students themselves if they are interested . »
- There should be more projects/courses during summer.»
- A little bit more research-oriented, at least for those who are interested. Just a brief comparison with the curriculum of U.S universities will reveal my point.»
- More information and a slightly more organized non-ad-hoc organization perhpaps.»
- More challanges that are not administrative. The hardest thing I"ve had to do so far is register and figure out how stuff works.»
- Provide more possibilities to work/practice in Industry during study.»
- Let the students have more time in the studio course and insted integrate the issuse trying to be toght in the elective extra courses to the studio course.»
- Change the master programmes responsible! He has poor English skills and seems quite confused. He belongs in some other job. »
- ..»
- Make the education more interesting. More practical exercises, to deepen the knowledge. Just reading and writing reports do not give anything. In addition, you should secure that the students coming in from abroad are at roughly the same level as the Chalmers students. Otherwise, advice Chalmers students to take their master"s abroad!»
- Increasing the company visits.»
- Put demands on the "teachers" to make more effort. My friends on Chalmers currently attending master programs all thinks the quality of the lecturers and teaching assistants generally are low.»
- none»
- no»
- None.»
- Get rid of all the crappy Asian exchange students. They barely speak English, can"t write reports, and ruin the experience for everyone!»
- dubashi shouldn"t teach.»
- I think it is good to introduce the use of codes in individual and group tasks...I am afraid there could exist subjectivity in correcting/evaluating such tasks»
- The one thing I have missed is that there were very few other I students at my master program which has been a disadvantage. Look over who are allowed to start the program. »

- In general, the university needs to discourage project courses. In general, the faculty lacks the pedagogical ability to truly make these valid learning experiences. If a teacher primarily lectures and holds discussions he or she is capable of directing study. Whereas, in general, project courses seem like a way for teachers to take no responsibility in the education of the students. While it is true that students need to be responsible for their own education, the professor needs to take an active role as well. Unless the teacher is willing to actually dedicate a serious amount of time and effort to give individual attention, feedback, and advice the teacher is not providing any value to the student as the student could simply do a project on his or her own time. The reality is that almost every professor uses supervision time as simply a way to monitor and grade the student without contributing to the learning of the student in any way. I have done entire periods of course work with no feedback at all culminating in a final project report to which I receive no feedback. I have no way of knowing if what I learned was in any way accurate and what I have misinterpreted. Further, in general a project course is a "doing" course where student need to actually do something productive. The act of doing is usually time consuming in and of itself and takes most of the attention away from the theoretical foundation. Further, project courses are almost always specialization projects. However, it seems that for most courses students would be better served by an overview of many different perspectives and elements of a subject. In this way, projects should come AFTER the primary learning has taken place so that students can direct their projects in an informed manner.»
-
- yes please do socialize with international students more than this!if you socialize more, international students will be more keen on to be a real Chalmerist!it is not about spendng more money it is about feeling more international space! I tried to put more my critics here!becuase I think Chalmers is a really good and ongoing university and it need more critics rather than apploading!»
- I think the courses are best but there must be more good projects added to it by consulting erricsson and other communication engineering related companies. The students should be given this opportunity to learn and to gets handon experience on industry tools. Kindly take this suggestion and there is a very very weak relation ship among univerity and industry with respect to the internships, summer jobs and thesis projects so i think this must be improved alot.»
- international project funding should be made available.»
- Återgå till svenska språket för dem som vill. Att låta studenten välja svenska eller engelska.»
- Nothing so specific apart from extra courses and live project addition»
- No»
- Keep a higher demand on the exchange students since those are very bad... some can´,t even speak english..»
- Better transition possibilities for students from different disciplines or with different types of examina so that the repetition is kept to a minimum.»
- no»
- Gradually eliminating written exams and having them during the courses as projects and papers»
- No»
- hmmm...no»
- This survey should be takes onto account.And more feedback should be takes from students.»
- Strengthen the relationship between Swedish students and international students.»
- Listening to the students opinions.»
- more contact with the industry»
- Try to have deeper collaboration with the industry.»
- Maybe add the possibility of choosing "apply for jobs" or likewise in the next question.»
- In my point of view,the courses of each programme perform better if the materials of each course be less and deeper because a quarter as a time is not enough to cover lots of materials in a proper way. »
- Fler studieresor...»
- we would like to learn more about the programming,in c++ or java.»
- Start work for your students and do not just rely on the reputation of Chalmers.»
- NA»
- it is good so far, and hope it goes well.»
- increase the level required to pass exams. Some are just ridiculous. »
- for international student, it would be better if the accommodation could provided by school.»
- no»
- perhaps, that everyone involved should be more aware of what is going on in the other courses, it is sometimes a bit repetative.»
- I think every thing is alrigth.»
- Learn how to plan! »
- not at the moment maybe in future depending on how the real world considers DCPM graduatees.»
- D R A W I N G S»
- Some guest lecturers had poor performance. It is better to have a stable teacher for the course. I prefer to have more workshops based on real experiences instead of exams.»
- Have a plan for getting the students a good master thesis, this is what all the good master programs supplies. Overall I think what is needed is a customer focus, and the customer is the student! »
- none»
- Maybe more elective courses with less number of students will make the courses more effective.»
- Maybe there could be some activities among the students of a program.»
- I feel like there is a lot of repetition from prevous courses and that the courses are adapted to students with other backgrounds and therefore the level is to low. The maste should be adapted to the students from the I-program!»
- I think as great as everything is,the program is more like a master of engineering to me rather than a master of science.I know the name of the program is biomedical engineering,but after all it is a master of science and with that degree one should be able to pursue a PhD degree,which compared to other universities that I know of,in USA,Europe or back in my country Iran,the graduates of this program will have to do more reading and take more courses if they attend a PhD program. I think the difficulty level of the program should increase and besides that opportunities should be available for students to get involved in research from the first year,after all it is a graduate level program,and the diversity of research titles should definitely increase.»
- More focues on financial issues. I consider is important for the future of, i believe every professional in supply chain.»
-
- More awareness of future opportunities and outlook must be offered. Chalmers career service is just not enough.»
- I think courses should be get more up to date and dealing with research as much as its possible.»
- yes i have one idea if like MIT USA the recoded lectures of the subjects will be available to students so it will greatly improve learning of students. Because they can listen the missed lectures and also revise again if they can"t understand any lecture. It perfectly works and improve if possible.»
- From industry the arrangent of thesis should be arrange for all student regardless of language restriction.»
- Provision for intenship»
- Less bureaucracy and more care for the swedish students, and much better control of the attitude and copetence of foreign students. Respect for the maximum number of students in each course.»
- Try to move some of the electable courses from period 4 to period 1,2»
- Thanks for all the teachers hard work. But maybe in the end of every course, we can have a discussion meeting with all the students not only with the student representatives in order to hear all the voices.It won"t cost too long time and will definitely help to improve the course.And there should be one course evaluation in the middle of every course not only in the end, otherwise our evaluation opinions won"t show any benefits to us just for the students next year. »
- not really.»
- Have more interaction between the courses. It is of course good with some overlaps but it is too much. A lot of the courses focus on strategy, organization and management which is fun but it would be useful to have some digging more in to the technical or economical side. »
- More communication between teachers and students»
- Internships for students in different european countries.»
- Have more books in library, which can be read in the library.»
- No»
- no»
- Better advertisement of the possible courses a student can take. Better advertisement of the availability of possible thesis work/ project work/ other such extra curricular activities.»
- Definition/context of the field of programme is quite loose and broad that"s why sometimes it feels like it might not completely address or match the qualifications that companies in the business demand. Most of the companies, for instance, require competence in visual editing tools, there could be some courses regarding current market"s qualification preferences or more workshops for assistance. However I also think that the content of the programme is sufficient for academic research and knowledge»
- Improve Chalmers" bachelor programme so students coming in have a better basic understanding and knowledge to build on.»
- Inform students about the decision basis for grading of a course earlier than 2 hours before the exam! Make it clear from the beginning which courses a student can choose. There were many courses that would better suit PPU students than the ones recommended! Fatigue design, Computer aided industrial design, etc.»
- try to integrate the students from abroad more. it is unfair to both them and the swedish students to let people in who barely speaks swedish. and tell them not to copy from the internet. they seem to have this as a habit and that makes them look stupid and they"re not. so it"s unfair.»
- Byt ut Masterprograms ansvarig, Britt-Marie Wilen har inte tid att vara det! Hon ger tyvärr ett ALLDELES för förvirrat intryck och jag måste i regel skicka fyra mail för att få svar på frågor! (Har även tagit upp detta med henne och mailat vice rektorn om att det är problem på vattenavdelningen men det rann ut i sanden. Så har försökt hjälpa dem. Förklarar gärna detta: lundkvis@studnet.chalmers.se). »
- Closer contact with the life after university is needed, more information about what possibilities exist for work or PhD.»
- more research work on science subject not only the small project. »

- 8 weeks studying a subject is not enough to learn many things needed, some times lack of time for projects deadline and simultaneously lack of knowledge in some parts make time and work hard and stressfully, termic system is good in these points»
- Make an advanced section within the Graphical User Interfaces course for the majority that already knows 90% of the stuff.»
- its good»
- not yet»
- More clear and structured information as to what courses to take in which track. I had to look that information up on my own since I didn"t participate in a non-mandatory activity»
- Nothing special!»
- help students bit more to find master thesis in companies and keep contact with them during their thesis.»
- Make a better program syllabus. Today it is way too official, like a report. No one wants to read a report prior to studying...»
- Kräv att lärarna gör kursutvärderingar och ta själva del av dem. Vi har fortfarande inte fått någon kursutvärdering från Höstens Matter Space och det är verkligen skandal med tanke på all den kritik som då muntligen riktades mot kursledningen. Vi fick en utvärdering som skulle lämnas till Morten Lund efter att det visat sig att endast 15 av 75 studenter hade sökt kursen inför våren (det blev sedan fler efter löften om förändringar). Dock verkar allt vara exakt detsamma även nu.»
- Include departmental initiative to make more interaction between students, like organizing some outing, conducting sports or conducting debate sessions.»
- no»

- wireless course should be changed and also advance topic in network and distributed system should definitely be changed»
- No idea :-)»
- It is quite hard to find a job in Sweden if the student doesn"t speak Swedish. There should be some Swedish courses provided by Chalmers.»
- this question in too generic, thus a great amount of suggestions come to mind. I suggest that you take this question to the class for discussion, so you can get a clearer picture, than me writing an essay on this issue. »
- The choice you made to keep tution fees, I totaly against it. Well, you charged no fees to EU students who are from rich countries, but students from my country are poor, can"t even dream to study in Sweden any more. I am very unhappy for your dicission and sorry to say that we cannot come to Sweden for study any more. You might have few students who are really rich, but even they will not consider to come in Sweden. Because, I know, those rich students in my country they prefer to study in USA, UK, Canada or AUS. Rest of the poor students like me, preffered choice was Sweden. Now our hope and dream to receive some well higher education is stopped. This tution fee is just like a SLAP from Sweden to us who are poor. Wish you good luck you rich people.»
- The Interaction Design programme offered at the Danish Design School in Copenhagen provides more valuable courses throughout their curricula. Student have a portfolio in the end of their studies and industry contacts to kick off their professional life. »
- at the first quater ,it is better to take one compulsory course and one elective course instead two compulsory »
- no»
- Inform foreign people of the "Copy-paste" rules and the projects could have a better flow!»
- ..a small one, maybe more English signs?»
- The thesis opposition/defense needs to be revised or removed. There is not enough structure around the concept.»
- that subjects get a "more practical" approach. We have had it in some of the courses and it is great, but in other courses it is just "read from the book" and no application of the knowledge...»
- I"m very happy with the programme overall. Initially I thought the programme was a little too restrictive in its requirements of group work, but soon found that students do have a lot of freedom if they ask for it. My only suggestion would be to make these options clearer to students so they are aware that they can pursue their own path rather than follow the prescribed paths offered by one of the two tracks.»
- The printing quota for masters students should be at least 400 pages.I don"t know what were the reasons for which limits were put on the printing quota but the current students should not be punished for the deeds their seniors did in the past.Chalmers should construct some hostels or boarding houses of its own.Masters students should be given some part time jobs as T.As or assistants in departments which will help then to be financially stable.The bus card for Chalmers student should be made to be usable on one or two other bus or tram lines by increasing its prices so that students can use it to buy their groceries as well since there are no grocery stores on the route of bus 16.»
-
- See above»
- The programs shouldn"t be so separate. Students can definitely learn from other students from other programs. Opportunities should be given for such interactions.»
- Yes, the programme cordinator are really really hard to get in tough with. He is never at his office. The previous cordinatior was much more avalable. Acually, all my friends from other programms have a cordinator that is easy to get in tough with. If you work as a cordinator, you need to be in your office much more. I don"t know why you can"t manage that, cus Ivar managed!»
- more functional works»
- Clearer information about what specific courses are needed to graduate»
- They shouldn"t charge educational fee for students outside EU to keep the diversity of element of students. I"m sure after the payment the amount of international students outside EU will sharply decrease, if they need to pay the equal fee, they prefer English-speaking and better climate, cheap food price countries . Just have a look of the situation of Danmark then you will know. If the universities has less and less students, it"s a waste of resource.»
- No opinion»
- I think that there is a lack of communication between the examiners for the different courses. E.g. one guest lecturer can come in two different couses giving the same presentation. This is also due to the too wide scope of most courses. This education needs more focus and depth. »
- Better and more information about courses on other master-programs that you are able to read.»
- We didn"t see the primary teachers of e-Health so much, Diagnostic Imaging and Image Analysis and their assistants are not familiar with topics or don"t have teaching ability.»
- nothing»
- Having more group works to get better result instead of individual .»
- less re-exams(only once is enough for the students)»
- Although the first course was very thorough and a good introduction to the masters degree, I don"t feel like the information obtained there is carried through the entire program very well. »
- Management Courses»
- No opinion.»
-
- no»
- As a student it feels like there are almost no cooperation between the masters programme and the companies in the industry. Much more corporate information and study visits are needed. As a student you dont understand how the industry work and what emplyee options there are after finishing the educations. This is also good to have before making the choice of which MP to study.»
- I think it is good enough»
- Specify each track in one master programme, provide advanced courses for each track.»
- No.»
- There should be some kind of centralized quality control for all masters programmes.»
- The study centre could provide example students and show what kind of different paths result in. Now its like "these are the courses you can choose" which is really hard to relate to. If instead there was Lise, 24, chose this course A and ended up reading this course B and C cause she found it interesting... now she works with this. If its personalized in this way it would be easier to understand my options.»
- Some class sizes get too large for productive discussion to take place.»

- I send emails to instructors and student office and they do not reply!!!! work on that»
- Yes internship programme should be provided to every student in the course and it should be made mandatory for every student in order to pass the Master Programme.»
- no»
- not so far. everything is working good.»
- We should be provided lockers so that we don"t have to carry our heavy books/laptops everyday.»
- I think the current period of time (one month and half)for each semester is not a good education system because in a short time a large amount of subjects must be studied that for some courses it is not enough and students are always in the pressure of study and finally can not get to a good result for doing more research and improve their knowledge. »
- Some proper start up, at least for knew sudents at chalmers. Some kind of grown up nollning could be quite usefull for us as well.»
- Masters students should have an opportunity to work as TAs or RA ... how would you expect students to develop their research skills... there is no interaction between professors and students other than class room environment »
- The majority of the foreign students admitted to Chalmers Master programmes today cannot speak english well enough to make themselves understood and/or understand others. Doing group assignments with foreign students becomes more of a challenge in trying to communicate than in doing the actual assignment. Chalmers DEFINITELY need to somehow raise the bar and only admit students who can communicate at a sufficient level in english, this is NOT working today!»
- i don"t know»
- Well, generally I think that because Chalmers has chosen to have english within every master programme, the standard are very low. The master studies in my dicipline is fuzzy as they are, but now when it something about the U.S, China, Sweden, I find it very fuzzy. If Chalmers is serious in the quality of their students, they should go back to swedish, not maybe on every programme, but many. »
- To improve the communication from the school directors.»
- NO»
- increase no of courses offered by a program sweden has a 3 yr bachelor degree instead of 4. we have studied most courses of master in our bachelor degree program. there is no option in »
- More information about the mandatory MTS-courses.»
- The program should offer more courses in the sub-fields of Power Systems, Electric Drives, Power Electronics and High Voltage, so the student can choose what path to follow to go in deep detail and not just kind of see an overview of everything. I have a special comment on the selection process. I don"t know what things you take into account or how you do it but I was really surprised to find SO MANY students with weak backgrounds, specially from Pakistan and India, which surprised me even more since I thought that the latter ones were really good. I am sorry for writing specific country names but it makes you think many things like: "Did I come to the right place?" Why do I have such a lazy or weak classmate? And I think that this somehow also influences in the demanding level of the program since the staff might reduce it...I am just guessing and wondering. I think that the selection process should do more research in the university where the applicant comes from. Usually public universities are more demanding (not always) and at the same time this means low average scoring than the ones coming from private, which might be giving you wrong conclusions.»
- no suggestion»
- more interesting courses/the content of the course should be more specific in one field»
- An english language test should be compulsory. Especially for exchange students.»
- That"s a job for someone else to manage»
- Better courses in period 2 year 2. As it is now not much is interesting in that period. All good courses lies in the spring (not good for people that went on the world wide exchange that comes back and wants to take interesting (and mandatory) courses in fall!) Better spreading of the courses.»

- At the end of the first year, and coming to a specialization decision. I feel that more clarification on the different fields and their market by the department at this point would be greatly appreciated.»
- Compare yourself with other programmes in Europe and USA. Moreover teachers always complained about being busy. Maybe you don"t have enough teachers.»
- Overall quality and requirements.»
- I think courses can be ordered in a more "related" way.»
- More information about master thesis.»
- Maybe more guidance of course selection based on career perspective should be added.»
- MORE INDUSTRIAL ORIENTATION , VARIETY OF SUBJECTS SHOULD BE OFFERED FROM ELECTRICAL DOMAIN»
- As 37. Also not to be afraid to have applied courses, for example the international approach make it hard to have a good idea of how things works as it should be applied to all conditions/contries. More specific knowledge!»
- It was impossible to find information about how to write master thesis and everything around it.»
- no»
- modern and updated equipment (computers measurement devices) more space to work for students practical projects use and introduction to measurement software in the industry»
- Add an "Energy Efficiency for Industry" course.»
- Introduce more courses for MPCOM, real telecom courses, not just courses from other master programs. MPCOM second year is poor. I really love Chalmers, and the right thing to do is emphasize the negative points-it will make a positive impact I hope.»
- Look over and compare with other programs on I and see the differences in spent time. »
- this quarter is not good enough.»
- This year (the only thing I have experience from) there where a lot of mechanical engineers and it would be nice to have some course choices/ recommendations on accessible courses with mechanical "touch"»
- A very specific description of the master and the chances for getting a job afterwards in Sweden»
- We need grounds for the things that we work so hard for. Should the course be all about presentations why can"t we at least be informed about that in beforehand and maybe include some actual teachings in the subject?»

It was very hard for most of the students to find master thesis at the department for the reason that the department was not able to accomodate everyone for a master thesis, provided the fact that, it must be the departments responsibility to assist every student to become graduated. I have found a very good master thesis but i have discussed what i have percieved from many fellow students of various nationalities.» (Yes especially in Chalmers)

- I had to many options, is that a problem?» (No)
- The teachers are not cooperative. You have to knock the door many time and they listen. If you send them emails they do not reply or reply very late. Its very very difficult yo find a thesis in industry although Chalmers has a good name but even in our own departments there are no thesis. you have to struggle for many months to find a thesis in your technology.» (Yes especially in industry., Yes especially in Chalmers)
- Mainly because it was not the right time in industry due to recession and by the time i got one i have already finished a thesis work at the university and so i was not permitted to do another one.» (Yes especially in industry.)

It took me few month to find it, and few seconds to loose it. I was really upset.» (Yes especially in Chalmers)
- since I studied abroad last semester it was a bit hard to know what went on at home, maybe my partner should have informed me better, but for those who did not have a partner the school should have been more keen on informing everyone. » (Yes)
- It is too difficult to find a master thesis of my interest in industry and as well as chalmers. It took me foe about more than 6 months to find a master thesis in industry and in chalmers. In these 6 months I was selected for 3 interviews in different companies. And i dont know what is the problem with the professors in chalmers.There have been more than 60 students in MPCOM and within 6 months hardly 10-15 theses are published on the homepage of signals and systems.You dont believe it you can go yourself and watch.The dates are mentioned.Students were going door to door to different professors to find a master thesis.I mean this is not the way. We had to beg for the Thesis to the teachers. If you dont have those much research in Chalmers then why you are taking in so much students in this program.Atlast after waiting for 6 moths I found one master thesis which was not of my interest but i have to take it because I was already the most late student in my program who stated his thesis. » (Yes especially in industry., Yes especially in Chalmers)

- Headhunted by the departement.» (No)
- Persistent searching for a master thesis should be enough (and it was for me atleast).» (No)
- The search is inherent to the master program. Sustainable development is a very wide field and some searching is expected, almost necessary.» (Not really but It took some time)
- It would have been nice if someone from the program had informed us about things to consider when searching for a master thesis, like university rules, where to search, where to find information etc. I expected companies to know themselves what questions and goals they had, so that they could form a task for me to investigate with my thesis. In reality, it was always the opposite. At Chalmers though, there was no problem.» (Yes especially in industry.)
- Actually it is very easy to find a suitable Master thesis if you are good enough» (No)
- There were not many thesis available in chalmers so it kept me in waiting to get the appropriate thesis.» (Yes especially in industry., Yes especially in Chalmers)

- The choice you made to keep tution fees, I totaly against it. Well, you charged no fees to EU students who are from rich countries, but students from my country are poor, can"t even dream to study in Sweden any more. I am very unhappy for your dicission and sorry to say that we cannot come to Sweden for study any more. You might have few students who are really rich, but even they will not consider to come in Sweden. Because, I know, those rich students in my country they prefer to study in USA, UK, Canada or AUS. Rest of the poor students like me, preffered choice was Sweden. Now our hope and dream to receive some well higher education is stopped. This tution fee is just like a SLAP from Sweden to us who are poor. Wish you good luck you rich people.» ()
- Hard to find thesis that was core interaction design or close to it. Most of them where mainly system development focused.» (Yes especially in industry.)
- I wanted to study at Chalmers, so I chosed from the ones provided in Gothenburg.» (Not really but It took some time, No problem - I got a number of alternatives.)

- Will start my master thesis this fall» (No problem - I got a number of alternatives.)
- This form is not very well suited to the reality, ive started my master in the spring semester 2009 wich means that i know study my second year... why does it say that these question are only for student started 2007 and 2008... ? » (I dont know - I have not tried yet)
- Simply one word describing the finding of thesis, and it is "IMPOSSIBLE"!» (Yes)
- Very difficult to come up with your own idea. My first project didnt reach enough quallity so I will have to make the Thesis somehwere else. Not really Chalmers fault, though. I knew the risks.» (Not really but It took some time)
- The thing regarding the Master Thesis is: 1) You can choose to work in the topic you like the most, it is just a matter of asking the department staff, with no "sponsorship" from a company and just do what you really want...which means you care more of your real interest and forget about the money. 2) You can just choose any topic offer by the companies, even if it is something you don"t really like or something you are not really interesting in, but if you just care on the money, then that"s your option. What is really difficult is the combination of both: get a sponsorship from a company to develope a thesis in the topics you are really interested in.» (Not really but It took some time)
- I"m doing my master thesis this fall, and haven"t found anything yet.» (I dont know - I have not tried yet)
- There was not a good communication in the department to help international students to find a proper thesis work» (Yes)
- I believe its much easier for a swede like me, compared to an exchange student.» (No)

- Lack of availability.» (Not at all)
- Even if I got a examiner from the MTC, he has refused to talk to me.» (Not at all)
- Mattias Wahde has way to much todo!» (Not at all)
- I think more and better supervising (both concerning time and supervising skills) is needed. I would have appreciated a lot more input (constructive critique) concerning my thesis subject. Currently, Chalmers is missing out on many valuable opportunities due to the low prioritization of the master thesis at the institution. There are several positive effects of more and better supervising, such as: enhanced learning for the student enhanced quality of thesis enhanced relations between Chalmers and industry I think by increasing the resources just slightly the positive effects would be enormous! Resources in the form of, for example, time of university staff, education of supervisors and structured seminars for the master thesis students would be of great value for both Chalmers and the students. » (Not at all)
- The supervision from Chalmers has been OK, but from the company it has been a disaster.» (Not at all)
- Contact with the supervisor is close to zero, almost impossible to contact him. Needs multiple e-mails and calls. If he answers an email not all questions will be answered. He is not really cut out to help and guide us with out thesis.» (Not at all)

- The supervisor at Chalmers doesn"t help that much» (Not so satisfied)
- One of the first things my supervisor at Chalmers told me was that he only have 36 hours of time to supervise me and that most of that time will be used when he is reading my thesis outline and draft. So he prepared me to not expect to much supervision... Not a good impression from a supervisor.» (Not so satisfied)
- The supervisor does not spend that much time at chalmers, luckily others in the group can help.» (Not so satisfied)
- Our supervisor was a new phd student, who had not so much knowledge about his duties as supervisor nor how a master thesis should be done. He did not have much time for our thesis, nor did he present much critical, constructive feedback, mainly praises which is not very rwarding to get. I think all supervisor should have very clear guidelines of their responisibilties, and phd students should not be supervisors in their first years. » (Not so satisfied)

- I guess my supervisor is very busy to answer and I feel the role is like evaluation rather then supervision.» (Not so satisfied)
- My supervisor is so busy. I do not answer my mails completely» (Not so satisfied)
- A proper supervision should have been guarantied from the industry and accepted by examiner. » (Not so satisfied)
- Not valuable for CSE to a larg extent» (Not so satisfied)
- To little time with the tutor, about four hours in total. The information, time and dates for the master thesis came about two months after we started with the master thesis.» (Not so satisfied)
- Supervisors usually don"t give too much time which normally delays the thesis.» (Not so satisfied)
- Are there any guidelines for supervisors? If there is not, I think there should be. If there is, I think they should be more clearly advertised. To the students so that one knows what to expect from one"s supervisor, and to the supervisors, so that they can follow them!» (Not so satisfied)

- My professor could have been more effective if it were easy to work within school guidelines. I am fairly content with tutoring time, but no formalities were observed concerning planning processes or other official documentation. » (Neither/Nor)
- The Supervisor should know at least how the flow of the project should be... If he/she is from industry and want to change/innovate some existing technology/machine he/she should have propers documentaion and knowledge about previous system as well as about the new system he/she is planning to change... I came across a serious problem after having thesis that my supervisor didnt know correct theory behind what actually he wants from me. He knew some knowledge of the existing system and as the time passed he got more and more knowledge of the existing system and the whole work direction started changing. He knew very less about new technology he wanted to use and I was not directed properly about what I am going to achieve/ultimate goal. Indeed he did good administration, scheduling but on technical perspective I think it should be improved» (Neither/Nor)
- never had a supervision session with my examiner during the thesis work» (Neither/Nor)

- Satisfied from Chalmers, not at company» (Satisfied)
- I guess this depends on the examiner. I have a great one who is engaged in my work and provides feedback. However, fellow students experiences show that some examiners are at no use at all (except getting your master thesis approved).» (Very satisfied)

- The choice you made to keep tution fees, I totaly against it. Well, you charged no fees to EU students who are from rich countries, but students from my country are poor, can"t even dream to study in Sweden any more. I am very unhappy for your dicission and sorry to say that we cannot come to Sweden for study any more. You might have few students who are really rich, but even they will not consider to come in Sweden. Because, I know, those rich students in my country they prefer to study in USA, UK, Canada or AUS. Rest of the poor students like me, preffered choice was Sweden. Now our hope and dream to receive some well higher education is stopped. This tution fee is just like a SLAP from Sweden to us who are poor. Wish you good luck you rich people.» (?)

- Regarding #43, in my opinion the answer selection should be rephrased. Higher education is not about training (training is what you get at vocational schools). At the university level we should be focused on pushing the boundaries of design, being inventive and addressing the most relevant issues of the current built environment. In the end we should know how to think critically, and to identify problems and resolve them competently.

- I don"t see why someone would pay fee for studying at Chalmers when he/she doesn"t get a job afterwards in Sweden or Scandinavia. The language barrier is huge for Sweden to charge any fees and secondly, people have better alternatives like Sweden might have heard of USA, Canda, UK, Austrailia, NewZealand etc. All these countries are English speaking countries with much more welcoming attitude for the international students both in terms of education and work afterwards!

I felt a little bit of it before choosing Chalmers from the website and talks to my friends, and that was my first reason fro applying for Chalmers. However, I seriously don"t know how this spirit could have influenced me when comparing the combination of tuition fees and the weather in Sweden with the other options in Europe.» (Chalmers reputation as a University, Chalmers research profiles, Specific Master programme profile, The learning environment - facilities, Teacher abilities in language/pedagogy/scientific field, The clean air and sustainable society, The creative and friendly study climate, Active interaction with teachers and other students, Gothenburg as an nice city for students)

- Funny question which I think cannot be answered, as an International Master student, I don"t know about other European Universities and their study climate, etc. Hence, just answering from the information from other sources. Google search: "University rankings" I see more -ve points if I have to pay the same tuition fee as in Europe. 1) Firstly, hats off to the Swedish Universities for having such an education environment unlike the rest of the world. I thought I found Utopia :) but doesn"t seem like it :( with these new changes. 2) Most of the students who like to study at Chalmers, would like to know about Job prospectus after Masters ! I can only point them to thelocal.se news and let them make their own decisions. http://www.thelocal.se/24444/20100118/ http://www.thelocal.se/18156/20090312/ Now with tuition fees, I think people will flock to the west, where the university rankings are better.

- I have to honest here all the people who come here are intelligent who cannot afford to go to good colleges in US and UK. I guess there will be less number of applicants for this course if there is fee.» (No advantages at all)

- Sweden is an expensive country. The biggest advantage of studying in Sweden is free education beside well-ranked universities. An international student already spends considerable amount of money for living, accommodation, etc in Sweden. If me as an international student is supposed to pay tuition in Sweden, I would definitely go for some other European countries in which both living expenses and tuition fees are lower. I do think that Swedish universities are great, but paying 75000 SEK annually as tuition will change the equation completely.» (Specific Master programme profile, Teacher abilities in language/pedagogy/scientific field, Possibility to find jobs in Scandinavian industries)

- Forgot the source of it but it was "Top 100 Engineering Universiy" English is one of the most strong reason to study in Sweden as well as free of tuition fee. If tuition fee is almost same with U.S., most students would not select Sweden. The university in the U.S. has relatively good reputation and provides lots of scholorship.» (Possibility to find jobs in Scandinavian industries, Chalmers ranking (please comment which ranking list))
- Chalmers has a reputation of active study environment in Sweden but when it comes to paying tuition fees, unfortunately the attractions of studying at Chalmers (or any other university in Sweden for that matter) are not enough to win over other well-known universities. Living costs and difficulties in finding accommodation are disadvantages and having courses in English is an advantage as well as English proficiency of people in Sweden.» (The creative and friendly study climate, Possibility to find jobs in Scandinavian industries)
- But I think the main attraction for intrnational students has been no tuition fee and the natives good knowledge of English.» (Specific Master programme profile, The clean air and sustainable society)

- then I choose UK for studying instead of Sweden. but, except UK, I think I would consider the society and the ability to talk in english for almost all people. » ()
- I guess most of the students will not choose if there is a fee. One of the strong reason in particular to Chalmers, here there are no Scholarships for Master Students, No campus jobs, there are no paid teaching assistants, research assistants for master students, getting non-technical jobs in the city also very very difficult due to language problem. In short there is no source of income for a master student while he studying for which very very few students throughout the world will show the interest.» (Chalmers reputation as a University, Specific Master programme profile, Teacher abilities in language/pedagogy/scientific field)

- Well I"ll name some of the major disadvantages Chalmers have, 1- No Sports complex 2- Limited sports activities(Almost zero for master students) 3- No major cafeteria with vegetarian or non-vegetarian food 4- Lack of group rooms for group studies, especially during exams 5- No specific place for relaxing in break or lunch time except of a couple of sofas and chairs in the student union building 6- No place for drinking water or no other OPEN source. You have to buy it first and then use the washroom to refill it. I know it seems funny when I say this but its a real life problem. You have your bag filled with library books and laptop and you cannot bring water from home in that bag. God forbid if some thing happens to the bottle or you left the cap untight! And a couple of other minor disadvantages which I don"t like to mention here. » (Chalmers research profiles, The clean air and sustainable society, Gothenburg as an nice city for students)

- Disadvantage. You have the right to apply tution fee but then you must provide equal opportunity at standard rates for work hours to earn money also from part time jobs without swedish language compulsion. i am highly thankful to Chalmers, for they have admitted me to this program, facilitated me with all the best resources, but I came here from my country because it was free education around. When you apply fee, more or less education becomes a business and with passage of time, need of money degrades educational standards. I know that people from Asia will not prefer to come to Sweden if the fee will be compareable to fee in UK or other countries, they will definitely go to Australia , Newzealand and UK, where they can have more benifits in terms of getting residence permits, work permits, part time jobs etc etc.» (Chalmers research profiles, The clean air and sustainable society, Gothenburg as an nice city for students)

- I believe Chalmers has almost no advantage compared to for example English or Dutch universities. I am now at TU Delft, and I believe here is much more international and offers much more advanced courses compared to Chalmers. combining this with the fact that finding a job in Sweden (or almost the whole Scandinavia except Norway) is almost impossible for someone who does not speak Swedish, we find out that Chalmers does not offer that much in comparison with TU Delft which offers a much more international market after graduation. I believe even if Chalmers is supposed to have tuition, it should be quite cheap and affordable for international students who are mostly from countries like Iran or China with limited ability in paying the tuition. Therefore, if Chalmers wants to compete with good universities in Europe like EPFL, ETH or TU Delft, it should be much cheaper than them like Ryanair!!! if ryanair was supposed to compete with AirFrance, it would never be able to do so with current services!!!!» (Other - please comment)
- i don"t agree with fee at all ,education should be without fee thats is most important reason that i select this country » (Specific Master programme profile, The clean air and sustainable society, The creative and friendly study climate, Possibility to find jobs in Scandinavian industries, Availability of student rooms/flats)
- However I would rather prefer to study in UK because of English society.» (Chalmers reputation as a University, Specific Master programme profile, The learning environment - facilities, The clean air and sustainable society, Gothenburg as an nice city for students)
- I see the disadvantage outweighing the advantage. As English is the medium of communication, I think most people would prefer to join universities located in English speaking countries. When the availability of jobs is considered, the national language comes in front of other criteria. Also, once origin has major impact in his/her adaptation in the country. So, what ever positive image it could have, those drawbacks and others could have a negative impact in its reputation.» (Other - please comment)

- Coming from the USA, it is odd to find such a lack of consistently available PhD positions. Whereas in the USA a given program would generally be accepting a certain number of PhD students every Autumn, here there may be no positions offered. I don"t know the realities of the economics of the situation, but it certainly discourages one from pursuing further education when one cannot be certain when positions will be available.» (The clean air and sustainable society)

I don tlose time on traffic nor I get stressed. I can use my time more efficiently. I recycle.

- in electrical engineering, the research possibilities is very important which is not considered in chalmers.» (No advantages at all)
- chalmers is very good for learning point of view and have highly qualified teachers and researchers and also industrial colaboration is very good.

- Unfortunatelly, even though, so far, I am satisfied with the master, when having to pay a tuition fee, I DEFINATELY would not have chosen it. For me, being Chalmers free was the main reason to decide to study here, because even though Sweden is an expensive city, the overall cost used to be balanced. But now, I am really sorry to say that, it is competing against a huge number of very qualified universities with much more afortable living style... » (Specific Master programme profile, The clean air and sustainable society)
- The choice you made to keep tution fees, I totaly against it. Well, you charged no fees to EU students who are from rich countries, but students from my country are poor, can"t even dream to study in Sweden any more. I am very unhappy for your dicission and sorry to say that we cannot come to Sweden for study any more. You might have few students who are really rich, but even they will not consider to come in Sweden. Because, I know, those rich students in my country they prefer to study in USA, UK, Canada or AUS. Rest of the poor students like me, preffered choice was Sweden. Now our hope and dream to receive some well higher education is stopped. This tution fee is just like a SLAP from Sweden to us who are poor. Wish you good luck you rich people.» ()

Most instructors are very well qualified and enthusiastic as well. Being in a region of the world that has made positive steps towards sustainability is very helpful (direct and indirect influences, like class trips to see state of the art facilities, and learning about successful policies in place). Being among international students has also made the experience more enlightening.

Maybe 75000 is not much for european but for other developing country it is a lot.» (?)
- there is no part time job oportunities for international students in sweden because of language issue. student from my country will never preffer to come to sweden if there will be fee. because then they have to pay both education and living expensive. and without part time job it will be impossible. student will then preffer UK. where is no language issue. students can find job easily.» (?)

- I cant afford to pay anything.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- Mainly owing to weather conditions and Sweden"s reputation in having a cold weather and the lack of sun, I don"t really think that if I had to pay such amounts of money, I would have chosen it, although now I really have passion about this university and do not really care about its weather.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- Please send the result of this survey to us when it is available, thanks! » (Less then 75000 SEK)
- It"s hard to say. Compared to other schools in America I guess to be competitive it wouldn"t need to be much less than 75000 sek when living expenses are also factored in. However, the tuition fee might have an effect on the student"s choice of getting a lower end job vs. going back to school. If Chalmers had a tuition fee of 75000 sek for this year I might have not studied at all and kept trying to find a job and end up unhappy.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- could be less than 50000 SEK per year» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- That would be difficult to consider without a solid scholarship, but compared to an education in other countries, I would still value the ability to come as english speaker and the relaxed atmosphere :)» (Less then 75000 SEK)

- Around 40000 SEK» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- As less as possible. Because in other countries, even if they have fees, there are scholarships but here even I had good competeanties but didn"t get any. Also geting part time and managing part time is very difficult here compared to US.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- What has happened to Denmark will happen here. But it makes a lot more sense to acquire tuition fee for international students.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- Unfortunately I simply would not have come to Chalmers, I would have had to do a masters program in my home country instead.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- I don"t think, I will go for Chalmers if there is tuition fees. Probably will research more on other options with other universities and the job prospectus after the study period. As a child, I heard of Sweden, the land of the midnight sun :) and interesting society. This tuition fee might be one of those that can be a bitter pill. Just because the rest of the world does it, doesn"t mean that Sweden has to do it. I am sure there are other alternatives to generate money. May the innocence of education for all prevail. Thanks.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- If there is increase in tuition fee then there should be more employment opportunities full time and part time otherwise no one would study in Sweden from Asia.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- In case if i have to pay tution fee(numbers doesnt matter),Chalmers and even sweden will definitely not be an option for me.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- On top that it is very expensive to live in Sweden and there is virtually no possibility to have any income while studying at Chalmers I consider that the tuition fees will have a huge impact on the amount of people coming from other countries. I really hope that the university will find a way to catch the best candidates. As an example, before coming here I got an offer from a university in the US, tuition fee was very expensive but I was going to work as an assistant, so the tuition was going to be covered by the university and still I would get a salary with which I could cover living expenses. Anyway, I choose Chalmers because I believe that it is better for my future.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- It is a hard question so I am not sure about my answer.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- In my opinion, it should remain free, but chose the 1st option because there were no choice for 0 SEK!» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- If someone has to pay such a big amount then I am sure that no one from ASIA or at least from my country (Pakistan) will come here if he knows about other countries education like Germany, France, Spain, Italy and many more. Because the people like to pay back their fee interms of job particulary at Master or PhD level which are very less in Sweden. I would suggest that please dont do it or at least propose a very small fee and then see if you can increase job possibilities or scholarhips then probably you can increase it like other countries in Europe.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- Sweden is cold country. If student need to pay tution fee, they may not choose.» (Less then 75000 SEK)

- If there would have been a fee, i wouldn"t have been apply.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- In my opinion all the above numbers are outrageous!» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- For foreign students, Swedish universities cannot compete with universities from countries like the UK, France or Germany mainly because of language issues. The languages of these countries are much more widespread and allow the students to find jobs much more easily during their studies. So unless the prices are very low, the so called "democratization of education" in Sweden will be very restricted to the rich foreign students.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- 30000» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- I will be willing to pay a higher fee if it would be possible for me to find a job here and earn some money to repay my loans. Since finding a job here is very difficult (Swedish industry has come across to me as quite closed and exclusivist), I will be hesitant to take up an expensive program. I have found that merit is not the most important factor that companies look for while hiring, knowing someone in the company is what matters.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- I wouldn"t consider Sweden as an option since I need funds to study and Swedish universities are not high enough in world rankings as to obtain funds.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- scince it is my second Master Program i could not spend much on fee...paying two Universities would have been to much...and than i would have stayed with my main subject and my home university» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- I was thinking of free!» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- To be a competitive, the tuition fee would be less than 50% of U.S. Without scholorship hard to support. Aa a international student, it is hard to find a part-time job in Sweden.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- An option which says "will not consider at all" is missing. Considering the living costs in Sweden, adding tuition fees makes studying in Sweden simply too expensive.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- It would be very difficult to pay the tuition fee for international students. There would be much less international students in Chalmers, because paying a fee would force many students to find a temporary job in sweden, to pay the fee: finding a temporary job in Sweden is really difficult if you don"t know the Swedish language. The costs of living in Sweden are very high, even if your parents support you. The tuition fees of the universities of Southern Europe are much lower that 75000 SEK. » (Less then 75000 SEK)
- if it goes higher than the English speaking countries,then language things could really be barriers as well as the job opportunities.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- it is not worth at all to apply for Sweden when there will be tuition fee, one of the reasons is bad weather. also there are better universities in other countries which are better options when you are supposed to pay for your education.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- There might be less students come to Chalmers if the tuition fee is too high.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- In fact, one of the main reasons I chose Chalmers was that there was no tuition fee for the school. I think even with lesser price (like 50,000) me and a lots of my classmates would go somewhere else so they can have the chance to granted a tuition fee, or be free of tuition.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- For more than 7.500 Euros, I would prefer Germany, France, UK, Canada, Australia, US, Singapore, Netherlands ...» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- For a typical INDIAN student, even 70000 SEk will be more costly. Because it comes around 465500INR just for a tuition fee and minimum annual living expenses per will be another 400000INR (60000SEK) which is really high amount in total. For the same amount and almost same kind of education (of course I bet no one can find the best Sweden environment any where else) for lower cost and that too they will provide different kind of Scholarships and job opportunities while studying, which will be added advantage.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- Good luck Chalmers!» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- SWEDEN IS EXPENSIVE COUNTRY .PUTTING FEE FOR STUDENTS WILL CAUSE STUDENTS CHOOSE TO STUDY IN CHEAPER COUNTRY» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- Or I would rather say more than 30000SEk and you feel insecure. There are not many scholarships available, very bad situation of internships, student job, paid thesis and so on.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- If the students can work for the department, more students will be encouraged to study at Chalmers even after imposing tuition fee.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- 1250000 SEK per year is roughly half of the tuition i paid at my undergraduate university. Since the school was ambitious, and focused on students, that cost was still small in comparison to what i was able to gain in return (a fact which is ultimately reflected in the school"s high national ranking.) Because Chalmers Architecture lacks clear standards for courses and for student performance, and has no concrete criteria with which to measure itself, it is hard to say where the value comes from. » (Less then 75000 SEK)
- Free && good quality education is the only reason for me to came in Sweden.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- Chalmers shall establish scholarship for good students so that it is also benefical for itself. » (Less then 75000 SEK)
- more scholarship» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- If you want to introduce fees then it should be same as in Germany because it is quite ok for the students.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- If there is a tuition fee for non-European students,it should be defined for European students too! Why eastern European students should not be charged but some poor but talented students from Asia and Africa should be charged?! It"s absolutely a big discrimination!! It"s not fair to exempt a special group of applicants from studying in higher education level while others can do it easily! I believe that those exempted group which are the most talented ones must be considered as preferred ones not excluded ones! » (Less then 75000 SEK)
- I wouldn"t have come to know about Swedish universities if the tuition was not free!» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- My sister wanted to apply for Chalmers, but after knowing that there is tuition fee, she changed her decision!» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- If I had been in this situation, I would have rather considered a Master"s degree in Germany, Finland, or the Netherlands » (Less then 75000 SEK)
- I probably wouldn"t come if I had to pay» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- Given that all other Swedish Universities would also charge a tuition fee, otherwise you wouldn"t stand a chance. » (Less then 75000 SEK)
- Sweden is a very expensive country itself, and if the tuition fees be even close to that of Britain or netherland or U.S and Canada, the i would have prefered to go there.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- As I have already mentioned that the fee must not be compareable to other universities in UK or Australia, which will make asian students to prefer other universities. I recomend that the fee must be applied gradually, depending upon the feedback from every year. SEK 30000 is a good option per year as a starting fee.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- It is hard to think that students after me would have to pay. I really consider it as a pity for the hole world. I guess that even when it is acceptable to pay an european standard, for me it would be more acceptable to charge in a progressive way for some years until chalmers reaches the standard.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- But if I had to pay a tuition fee of 150000 SEK for two years of my studies, I wouldn"t consider Chalmers due to the problems of finding a job after graduation and Visa limitations as well as the length of my studies. With this amount of tuition fee, I myself would apply for a university in the United Kingdom which provides better visa conditions (UK will issue a two-year working visa for Master students after graduation), 1-year Master programs and it will be easier to find a job after graduation.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- I think only rich people who wants to throw out their money will come to Sweden or maybe Eskimos.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- No» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- For example, the tuition fees for TU Delft and other Dutch universities is around 90000 SEK. If I could choose both Chalmers and TU Delft, Chalmers should be around 20000 SEK to convince me to ignore TU Delft, TU Einhoven, ETH, EPFL or a British university. I believe the large number of International students should not make Chalmers to overstimulate its popularity. Just look at your job market, how much international is it? Look at your curriculum, how much comparable is it with good European universities? At the end, I have to mention that my information are caused by my experience in Structural Engineering program. It might be different for others. Thank you very much for the opportunity you provided for me to study here in your wonderful country. » (Less then 75000 SEK)
- if student have to pay fee for studying in Chalmers I don"t suggest Chalmers university » (Less then 75000 SEK)
- it should be free.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- One of the criteria for choosing Chalmers was the low tuition fee (and of course the educational aspect), therefore the less it would be the better.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- i prefer it to be free...but if i should choose, it is the minimum » (Less then 75000 SEK)
- Tuition fee should be less because student from the developing countries can also study in Sweden like they are studding now.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- In relationship to what I am accustomed to in the USA the education here seems lacking. In general, the education"s focus on projects culminating in reflection-based essays encourages students to simply learn to bullshit their way through an essay. Instead, the education needs to focus more on learning more from established theory and previous work. There should be some exams that actually have correct and incorrect answers to encourage students to actually read the provided readings and learn the preceding work. At least, students should spend more time discussing, interpreting, and arguing the merits of others" designs as a way to deepen their understanding differences between various approaches.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- With similar cost profiles with other countries of the world, I guess Sweden would not be able to compete for (top) international students with US, UK, and Australia, all of which eagerly market their education abroad.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- 75000 SEK may be for 2 years would be could to still be considered if not it is very hard to attract foreign students even if the university rankings, education standards are good.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- if i have to paid more than 7200 EURO for tuition fee, i"d prefer the Netherlands where there is a better chance of part-time jobs» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- The tuition fee as an option is really high plus the living cost. » (Less then 75000 SEK)
- Prefer no tuition fees. » (Less then 75000 SEK)
- I think the amount should be defined by comparing to the tuition in Delf UT in Netherlands, EPFL or ETH in Switzerland or universities in Germany or Italy. I think most of them are more reputable or higher ranked than CTH (QS ranking) » (Less then 75000 SEK)
- coming in Sweden is already an investment (I have contracted a loan for this master). I spend here twice the money i use to spend in my home country (France). A tuition fee of 75000 SEK is huge, i doubt that anyone can pay that for studies...» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- However as I hear, it would be probably around 7000 euro in Sweden, I would´,t consider Sweden as an option, it already costs a lot for us for transportation expenses to come here. So for example Germany, Italy, Spain the tutoins fees area almost equal to the airplane tickets to sweden.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- I have selected less than 75000 SEK but to be real nobody will come even you go for 20000 SEK per year.There are number of reasons for it. 1)Language 2)If no language no job here.Except some multinational companies all companies prefer Swedish speaking employee. 3)no student jobs:If you see Australia, Canada or UK, students can work there and can earn there fee and living in those countries.But here student cant even earn a single penny. 4)Weather:Except 2 months of summer, weather sucks here and nobody want to live in this kind of weather. So try not to impose any fee.and If you do than you will see the consequences.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- Not at all!!» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- If the starting fee of 75K is listed above, I am sure there are better universities in English speaking countries for that amount of fee.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- still its too expensive if one add the accomodation and food charges. As the possibility of getting part time job is totally not possible thus it will be quite difficult for students to bear these expencies as compare to UK ans USA environment. Thus from my point of view it will be totally in vain to come down here for studies and putting burden on their family from finantial point of view.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- If the tuition is too high, students outside Europe will choose Finland or Norway instead of Sweden.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- for me education without tuition fee was just an additional perk, not the only factor for joining chalmers. but then again, if students are paying a higher or equal amount compared to germany,usa,uk or australia, they would expect similar benefits with respect to ease of finding jobs for students(after graduation)» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- I consider a big mistake to have tuition fees, nobody will want to come. Sweden is one of the most expensive countries in Europe, adding tuition fees to living expenses will make it one of the most expensive options to study for non-european students.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- Free education is one of the strongest reasons for students, especially from the Asian continent, to choose Sweden as a destination for their higher studies. Introduction of fees will easily alienate a huge market!» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- It has to be less than tuition fees in like universities in Netherlands or UK. I think it is already more expensive to live in Sweden than most of the european countries that"s why people would think twice if tuition fee were also more expensive. » (Less then 75000 SEK)
- Would very seriously make me reconsider my options. Goes against the right to education for all. Consider raising the professional demands instead of the financial.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- If I have to pay any tuition, I wouldn"t come to study here, the life is expensive and no work for the students out in the city.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- If these costs are this high, some English or Dutch universities would be more attractive, specially accounting the high costs of life in Sweden and the language barrier.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- The requirement of tuition fee from universities in Sweden might be a risk of decreasing of asian applicants.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- 75,000 SEK is still too much for me, some amount around 20,000 SEK is considerable...» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- Even Swedish government reduce the fee to 50000 SEK even then no one will come to Sweden.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- country conditions as weather, less friendly environment between students as accepting foreign students between themselves make Sweden as a risky university which you need to pay a high amount as well, probably another universities in EU with good education facilities and environment could be first considered » (Less then 75000 SEK)
- I think the amount of money is not important! the important think is there must be equal scholarships for brilliant students out there so they can still can come and study here. because otherwise, it would be very hard to convince excellent students from other countries to come here. Because there other good universities in Europe which not only need tuition fee, they also pay some extra fund to the Master students like in Germany! so, one should be very rich to choose Sweden instead of that other countries. » (Less then 75000 SEK)
- I would not come to Europe to study.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- It should be mentioned that although here has a brilliant research profile, the weather of Sweden won"t let future foreign students to choose here and also pay tuition fee! I am almost sure that you will loose lots of students! (Unfortunately!)» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- no fee» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- There is not any option to choose no tuition at all, if there was I would have chosen that. » (Less then 75000 SEK)
- For instance, French universities charge way less than 75000SEK/year... they charge the equivalent to 2600SEK/year and French universities have everything that Chalmers can offer. The more you charge, the less students you"ll have. The less student you"ll have the less money from government you"ll get. Anyway, let"s see what is going to happen next :D» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- maximum 7000SEK per year» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- A lot less than 75,000!!!!» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- Free tuition was a major factor in my choice to attend a Swedish university.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- Living in Sweden is expensive enough to consider studying somewhere else (France, Germany, UK, Australia, US) if non-european students have to pay for a tuition. There are many scolarship options for other countries.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- If I had to pay for my education, I would have chosen a different university that suited may interests more. » (Less then 75000 SEK)
- If I have to pay tuition fee for study in Chalmers I never applied for Chalmers there are many universities in Europe which I prefer to apply.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- If the tuition fee is too much, student will choose another country to study» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- less than 75000sewk is still too much considering you can pay the same amount to get admission in much high ranked university. Also there are no part time job opportunities so would never opt for sweden if fee is imposed. » (Less then 75000 SEK)
- if i had to pay tuition fee then probably i would never come to sweden.i dont have any doubt about the education qualities. but i would rather go to any english speaking countries to make life easier. and in my eyes adding this huge amount of tuition fee is a pure discrimination.considering EU rules yet i think its bit harsh to the students of asia and africa where most of the people are poor. i cant afford this amount of money even i got intentions for higher studies. » (Less then 75000 SEK)
- As less as possible.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- I would say there should be no fees at all. If there would be fees I think I would not be able to join chalmers.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- No I wont study n Chalmers if fee ia implemented unless a scolarship is provided» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- I was thinking on why has Chalmers decided to demand for tuition fees. Maybe Sweden (or Chalmers) tried to give free education for any one around the world, but now they have realized that the system does not work properly since the reputation of the university is not that well know around the world? I was thinking why haven"t Chalmers been able to retain the really good professors or why can"t it pay for the top professors? Is it that they cost really expensive or is it due to the limits for salaries for anyone, which is a consequence of the highly-influenced Socialism system. I will really like to know what is the truth and what is on your minds ,)» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- 75000 sek is still expensive.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- If there is tution fees in chalmers than I would prefer a country in Europe where jobs are easily available for English Speaking Country. One think I would like to comment is the Chalmers Equality policy for all Students irespective of the gender, race, nationality.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- Please, don"t start charging. If you want less international students, be more selective and invite the best ones. Don"t try to fill places if the best students don"t want to come. Most of the times students apply because they want to go out of the country, but for students like me, very motivated in learning, it would be very sad. Try to accept motivated students. I was very surprised of the very low level of international students you have selected. I could realize that the reason behind their application was problems in their countries etc, and the fact that Sweden is tuition fee free. If you want to avoid them well, you can always charge a fee. Or you can be selective. Anyway, you want good professionals right?» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- Are you still kidding me??? I don"t pay at all now, so I assure you I am telling this for your good.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- Defintely No» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- Unless scholarship is provided to some extent, charging tuition fee will make it much less attractive than English-speaking countries.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- At most 20,000 SEK/year. Since there are too many other universities in the league, in which one can study for 20,000-30,000 SEK, e.g. France, Canada, Germany, Switzerland, ... etc. Moreover in other universities Master students have a good chance of getting involved in a paid research during their studies, which can cover their life expense and their tuition fee. Nevertheless, Chalmers rarely suggests such positions to its Master students and the salary of such a position hardly covers the life expense of the student in Sweden, right now. Therefore if they have equal tuition, there is no point to study at Chalmers any more, at least for good students.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- I guess With academic fees International students don"t prefer coming to Swedish speaking country , so the fee should be as less as possible or no fee at all.» (Less then 75000 SEK)
- For most of the Chinese students who have come here so far for master study are all with great motivation and capability but less economic support from homes in my view. They are strong in spirit and have good willpower heading to dreams and make them come true. So I think if proper scholarships or loans are provided after tuition fee is charged, high quality Chinese students will keep applying to Chalmers.» (75000 SEK)
- i think the government should not do that ,because as we see in Denmark!! i think all universities in Sweden will have a big problem, for example in the some fileds, swedish people do not like study in that fields» (75000 SEK)
- I think paying tution fee make the University more serious like England. I think student should know more about the quality of education in Chalmers compare to other universities to be satisfied with paying the tution fee.» (75000 SEK)
- 75000sek if there are opportunity to get a part-time job as well.» (75000 SEK)
- cost was a benefit, not a selling feature -- though one I am definitely appreciative of.» (75000 SEK)
- I would still consider Chalmers with a 75000 SEK tuition as this is comparable to some other countries in Europe. There is a good chance I may have studied elsewhere if there was a charge for tuition when I started.» (75000 SEK)
- This tuition fee is comparable to other European Universities. » (100000 SEK)
- Give odd jobs to international students, like in Stationory, resturants in student union, office work etc. they should be paid and this will definetly attract students and by this way the problem of fee will be over come and students will enjoy more becasue they will be satisfied working inside the university. » (100000 SEK)
- If the fee means better competence of the foreign students it should be so high so it matches the swedish students competence in english and in education» (125000 or above SEK)
