- They obviously don-t mix otherwise.» (Agree strongly)
- -This is much important. It should start right from the beginning of the first course and group assignments -Students should be encourage to rotate the group leadership and this should be tracked so through out the program-This helped me a lot during my integration with the Swedish students. » (Agree strongly)
- Don"t understand the question. The teachers should mix students so groups become culturally diverse!» (Agree strongly)
- This is mostly done well» (Agree strongly)
- In the DCPM master program it actually happen in the first semester, which is very good.» (Agree strongly)
- If not forced to do so, many Swedes would never profit from the fact that we have people from all over the world here. Also some international students could learn more about Sweden, since some of them don"t make that much effort either, to meet Swedes. » (Agree strongly)
- Unfortunately it is usually the foreigners that end up together if it is not facilitated in another way» (Agree strongly)
- I had courses were the professors believed this and the experience was very positive. Otherwise the swedish and international students will be split as in most cases the swedish students already know each other from previous studies.» (Agree strongly)
- better results and learning experience» (Agree strongly)
- Agree strongly, but in some cases for instance when communication is essential to make a good job, I can understand that swedes for example would prefer being with swedes. However, the positive things with interacting with internationals should be valued higher in these cases» (Agree strongly)
- A very good thing on both an academic and personal level» (Agree strongly)
- Our groups during group work are often formed that way. » (Agree)
- an all swedish group is booring» (Agree)
- They should do it, however it would allow lazy students (which unfortuneately are more common among international students, in my experience) to take advantage of the situation.» (Agree)
- That is, if the teacher sees any value at all in involving themselves in student groupings. In many courses all group tasks are done in groups chosen by the students themselves, and if the teacher is fine with that then all is well. However, if the teacher decides to split up the students themselves, then aiming for cultural diversity within groups is a good thing.» (Agree)
- Usually forming groups for group work is not handled by the teacher outside of cases when someone isn"t able to find a group but in those cases I think it would be beneficial for the teacher to mix Swedish students with exchange students as much as possible.» (Agree)
- As far as it is possible, seeing as how there are quite few international students in the class. I would guess 10-15%» (Agree)
- This is not always wise though. Good for different opinions though» (Agree)
- For projects and class assignments» (Agree)
- Depends on the task in my opinion, sometimes it is just easier to work with people of same background, if the task is to write only on page together it is maybe not worth it to overcome cultural differences, but also friendship common interests and so on are influencing. So sometimes it is easier to let the students chose, for learning outcome it is probably better to mix up» (Agree)
- It"s nice to work with people of diverse backgrounds, but it is easy to slip into choosing people of your own nationality out of habit and preexisting friend circles.» (Agree)
- Forcing is not the solution, work ethics and group work routines can be very different. » (Neutral)
- It should not be up to the teacher, instead the students should mix because they want too. However, some incentive might be neccessary.» (Neutral)
- teacxher havnt mixed at all?» (Neutral)
- If there would be any group assignments with assigned groups, I would think it"s a good idea to mix the groups, because the results would probably get better with more diversified input, but in most courses there are no assigned groups, and then it would maybe feel a bit weird to construct such assignments just for the sake of it.» (Neutral)
- project and assignment groups shall be formed by the teacher» (Neutral)
- We are supposed to be mature enough to choose who to join without the teacher"s intervention» (Neutral)
- We have few international students but none is in the same team so we are definitely mixing the students in our class. » (Neutral)
- Not necessary» (Neutral)
- We usually do our hand in assignments and projects on our own, so there is no groups that the teacher can mix us in.» (Neutral)
- It helps if the teacher tries to mix students from different backgrounds in predefined groups, but there should always be a way for the students to change their group if they don"t feel comfortable. The idea is to encourage cultural mixes, instead of forcing them.» (Neutral)
- I think it should be somewhat up to the students to arrange mixed groups» (Neutral)
- I don"t see how this has anything to do with the technical subject. Stop making everything political. I"m not against mixing, but it"s not a purpose in itself. » (Disagree)
- Students should organize freely unless there is a specific teaching goal in mixing students beforehand. Of course, helping every student (Swedish or not) to get a group should always be done.» (Disagree)
- No, but they can encourage a diverse group and have it as a condition when the students form their own groups. » (Disagree)
- It is better with autonomous group formation. Also, the teacher has enough work to do already» (Disagree)
- I think many of us would benefit to study/talk to students with culturally different backgrounds, but it should not be enforced.» (Disagree)
- I am generally against affirmative action.» (Disagree)
- should be slump» (Disagree)
- I don"t think the teacher should have an opinion in this, either randomize groups or let the students chose themselves.» (Disagree)
- The teacher should teach the course. I haven"t had any courses where the teacher had a reason to interfere in students" social life, and I can"t really see any good reason to do so.» (Disagree)
- It should be individual"s preference» (Disagree)
- We can mix ourselfs» (Disagree)
- Not related with the class purpose» (Disagree)
- This should happen naturally» (Disagree)
- its a short time and it will cause that much extra work so the work load will be really high in the end.» (Disagree)
- I think that, althoug it may be benificial to have different backgrounds, the teacher shoulder not divide people into groups. » (Disagree strongly)
- University is not middle or high school anymore, where teachers have to take care of students. The students are old enough to make acquaintances by their own. The teacher should focus on education and the lecture and not deal with cultural differences or stimulate integration.» (Disagree strongly)
- Don"t think it"s the schools job to do that, but some courses would benefit from a LITTLE more random in their team choices.» (Disagree strongly)
- Students should be able to decide for themselves who they will work with. (Note: I have not seen that international students have any problems finding a group)» (Disagree strongly)
- They leave the groups to be formed by students.Hence swedish student forms a group qith another swedish student. A European student forms the group with another European student» (Disagree strongly)

- Of course it is, but not without the right training. I once heard an exam guard say the word "neger" once. Although not really relevant, it was obvious that this exam guard had not received training to handle multicultural groups. Teachers need this too if they are to bring up issues in the classroom.» (Agree strongly)
- Some have troubles understanding cultural and religious differences, as well as habits and preferences. » (Agree strongly)
- Sometimes one needs a push. » (Agree strongly)
- When we had presentations all groups that had one girl in them out of three students non of the girls said anything. The teacher didn"t mention this and did not ask the girls any questions.» (Agree strongly)
- If they are relevant to the course» (Agree)
- When writing a report, there are sometimes different ways to write depending on which country the participants in the group comes from.» (Agree)
- If it is applicable to the course content yes.» (Neutral)
- If it is relevant to the course material then yes, we aren"t studying social sciences at Chalmers... » (Neutral)
- If there are problems where support is needed, but generally I think teachers should focus on the subject of the class.» (Neutral)
- Only if necessary» (Neutral)
- It"s better that they do than not, but most courses I have taken have been so very technical that it"s hard to imagine what it would look like to bring up cultural differences within the subject of the course. Maybe I"m just close-minded though.» (Neutral)
- That depends on the situation, if there are no real issues there"s no need to mark out cultural differences, people should be considered equal.» (Neutral)

- We haven"t come across any particular cultural issues in the classroom, most people have a lot of experience of intercultural settings frome exchange studies etc.» (Neutral)
- I prefer to cover these topics off-line, out of the class. During the class the only thing I need to learn is the class topic» (Neutral)
- We come to CTH to study instead of communicating. Therefore, even though making international friends is interesting, it is not a very important task for the university.» (Neutral)
- I don"t understand this question.» (Neutral)
- Students can do it on their own.» (Neutral)
- I would not say is an issue of the teachers but I agree that from the university this has to be promoted (as there are already activities regarding this issue).» (Neutral)
- Only when relevant to the subject or outcomes of the course.» (Neutral)
- Do not feel hugh problems between students. As most people are used to work in international teams and are open for new cultures» (Neutral)
- There is no need. I think we all should be able to work together no matter the differences so that is something that shouldn"t be commented in class» (Neutral)
- Has to be done carefully.» (Neutral)
- If the course is about intercultural issues, or intercultural issues are affecting the implementation of the course, then it should be brought up. Otherwise, the teacher should stick to teaching the course.» (Disagree)
- See comment for question 8.» (Disagree)
- Irrelevant, I see no intercultural issues.» (Disagree)
- The teacher should teach the course, not cultural differences. There are other persons that are better at this.» (Disagree)
- Not really in the general case, but in some courses it"s a natural thing to bring up, and then they should and usually do.» (Disagree)
- If it becomes a problem, sure. Otherwise, unless it is important to the course, I see no reason to do it.» (Disagree)
- I am here to learn technical skills, and my engineering teacher might not know much about culture, why should he try to discuss it?? If I want to learn something about culture i choose a course like "International projects"» (Disagree)
- If we were studying culture, or culturally dependent material, sure. But math and physics apply equally to everyone, with no regard for culture.» (Disagree)
- If it happens and fits it is appropriate and welcomed. But there is not necessary.» (Disagree)
- Not sure what you mean. Classroom time should be used for course material.» (Disagree)
- It"s a technical program. Cultural differences should be dealt with by the individuals. That"s not the purpose of class. » (Disagree)
- Mixing them up for projects is enough.» (Disagree)
- The teacher should talk about things related to the course mostly.» (Disagree)
- I see no reason for it. It does not affect the classes etc.» (Disagree)
- This might be obstacle to others,still suggesting this should let happen naturally» (Disagree)
- If there is an issue or disagreement yes, but in other case no point. takes focus from the subject.» (Disagree)
- Only if it"s relevant to the course.» (Disagree)
- -I don"t think this is good because most teachers are trained in their own field and might not be good at discussing cultural issues. Instead teachers should keep mixing and rotating students during class projects. Cultural events should be promoted through the student Union» (Disagree strongly)
- I don"t see how this has anything to do with the technical subject. Stop making everything political. I"m not against mixing, but it"s not a purpose in itself in a technical subject course. » (Disagree strongly)
- Irrelevant for teaching.» (Disagree strongly)
- We study technology not sociology.» (Disagree strongly)

- Did well in the beginning then faided away» (Yes, a lot)
- Personally I don"t usually take part in organized activities at the University apart from course-related stuff, but at our program I Think there are enough many, and nice activities. By a lot, I mean just right, I wouldn"t want more and find what there is rewarding and good.» (Yes, a lot)

- We had a kick off activity at the beginning of the course (september). Very positive!» (Yes, some)
- Some get to know events in the beginning/ the first semester. Which was very helpful after that it was easier to work with each other and the organisation of activities was taken over by us afterwards.» (Yes, some)

- Only in the beginning and that was only as a lecture. Should rather be an activity focusing on having fun and not necessarily get better understanding of the program » (A few)
- I can"t think of any such activities in my master"s programme but I think that it would be good to have them. Of the ones from other programmes I have heard about I"ve heard that they are mostly attended by exchange students as most swedish students have attended Chalmers for three years already and don"t see the need for "get to know each other-activities".

- Yes, I did. In the beginning of semester there were some meetings with everyone attending. Besides our class is together most of the time.» (?)

- The problems should be addressed, not just the "possibilities" or whatever you want to call them. » (Much more)
- I know in many other master programs Swedish students don"t work with international students as in our program, which is why the importance of this aspect should be emphasised by the lecturers. It"s also beneficial for the Swedish students to learn to work in multicultural teams.» (More)
- Doesn"t have to be during class hours» (More)
- I think these discussions would be based on prejudice. Regardless, it could be interesting to know about the work cultures in other countries.» (More)
- Because Chalmers is an international university. Some cues can be taken from USA, where such schemes are successful and have been already implemented» (More)
- As I said before, if it has anything to do with the material of that course.» (Neutral)
- This question is best left to you, after you"ve read the results.» (Neutral)
- We really do talk about it all the time. » (Neutral)
- Why should we point out that people are different. It is already obvious that everyone is unique. There is no need to create groups.» (Neutral)
- If there are "issues"» (Neutral)
- Maybe as a a part of a communications course, but it should not interfere with the rest of the education. Of course mutual respect is important, but talking about different cultures is most of the time higly irrelevant to a course"s learning outcomes.» (Neutral)
- Discussed how, when in what kind of forum? » (Neutral)
- Some part of me agrees with this but some doesn"t. Because whether we have discussion of these different cultures won"t change the fact that it is much more comfortable to gather with someone with the same culture as yours. Chinese will go with Chinese and Swedish will go with Swedish. But it is a good idea for us, intenational students, to know about each other cultures too. Especially to learn the cultures here in Sweden. Because I personally feel it is hard for me to fit in with the Swedish.» (Neutral)
- Cultural questions should be discussed if and when there is a problem, but the main task for the university/programme/course should be to teach the subject and work with the quality of the education, not control who sits next to who in class.» (Neutral)
- No point in forcing it in courses where it doesn"t make sense. Hands on experience is the best teacher anyways.» (Neutral)
- I don"t see the need for this to be discussed. » (Neutral)
- it depends on what "working with" and "discussed" mean» (Neutral)
- Handled pretty well, a lot of commities and the CIRC are helping a lot.» (Neutral)
- I Think there is a discussion. How to market Chalmers abroad should be a priority in order to get more and diverse international students into the classes.» (Neutral)
- Is there really that much of a difference?» (Neutral)
- This question is extremely unclear. I agree that I would like to work more with people from different cultures, because I enjoy it. I"m less keen on discussing it since any issues are seldom unique and can be handled out of experience from doing (group) work with people from "the same culture". The question, however, does it refer to discussing working with people from different cultures or discussing how to handle different cultures/attitudes at Chalmers?» (Neutral)
- Not certain» (Neutral)
- Didn"t understand the question. Discussed by whom? And for what purpose?» (Neutral)
- At my program (at CSE) we often discuss the strength in different backgrounds, but it is most often related to other cultures, not ethnicity, although the insights are transferable. » (Neutral)
- As international student I feel quite welcome and do not think it is necessary to talk more about it, some things need to be learned by trying» (Neutral)
- At the moment I feel that it should be investigated how students are accepted to chalmers without knowing basic such as plagiarism is wrong.» (Neutral)
- I think it is good to have different nationalities specially for technical courses.» (Much less)

13. Are there any final comments you wish to make?

- I think cultures and their impact on group work should be discussed in "normal" classes that is when students work for 7 weeks on a project together for example. Because from my experience that is where most of the challenges are and where the prejudices are formed.»
- In my area, the culture does not matter as much as it might in other areas, since structural behavior is the same no matter the culture. In other areas it might be more of importance to discuss this.»
- Please train other people from different culture on how to handle difference in the way of how the job is done. »
- I think the international climate is good at Chalmers but since we who did our bachelors here already knew each other it becomes hard to break the preexisting social groups. I am doing the master program Applied Physics where we can choose the courses freely, this makes the social bit harder for international students because your classmates changes continuously. »
- There are still lot of intercultural issues to be solved. Students in class don"t interact and lot of difference is seen»
- The student union is very bad at including non Swedish speakers. There are a few groups within the SU that have english as a main language, but as a whole the SU is not accessible.»
- I feel no real spirit in this!»
- In my Bachelor"s years, I sat on the board for our student section. Year after year, we have tried to tackle the problem of integrating international students in the student union activities. I think the school could use and help the student sections and the student union in doing this. »
- There is a huge problem with having all the master programmes in english and that is that our whole vocabulary is in english as well as we do not get to learn Swedish rules and regulations, only international. I"m about to work in the construction industry and this is an actual problem for everyone in this sector. All we know is international terms and rules that most of us won"t have any use of in the future. I don"t have any suggestions on how to solve this right now but since we are talking about diversity all the time in all our courses it might be good to adress these issues as well. »
- I work with international students in my group and talk with them on the lecture breaks. I don"t see what the problem would be (except for writing styles as mentioned above).»
- There should be some kind of introduction for every international students to show how we work in Sweden. Especially regarding plagiarism, group projects etc. »
- I study abroad in Lisbon.»
- No.»
- nope»
- I would like if the University arranged for language exchanges, where people who know different languages could learn from each other. My exchange university in Germany did this, and had a nice system where you could fill in which language you knew and which you wanted to learn and from that find an exchange partner. Also we got German courses at the university, and I know that many international students here would like to have Swedish courses too (though I"d admit that it"s much more important to know German in Germany than Swedish in Sweden).»
- I love Sweden!»
- You should offer language courses for international students. Not speaking Swedish let the international students live in a "parallel world" here at Chalmers with very less interaction. You should think about that. I learned the Swedish language and things are so much different when one is speaking Swedish. At most it should be a matter of course for all to arrange with the language when living abroad.»
- I wish Chalmers would pay attention in having all the information about activities and newsletters translated into English. If international students are wanted to enrol themselves to the university and probably stay in Sweden after graduation, they should be made to feel themselves equal with Swedish speaking students. For example, earlier in the spring there were a few companies, including ABB, promoting themselves at the campus, but all the leaflets promoting the event were only in Swedish. I think the companies would gladly recruit also international students and Chalmers should support them in this.»
- The university should not try to push these things onto students. We are individuals and can make our own decisions as to if and what kind of relation(s) we want with "other cultures". There are sometimes incompatibilities and even views that are not fitting especially the Swedish/European political climate among the international students. Mostly, these views are impossible to change. Some examples could be chinese students loving their politicians despite the western idea of them having democracy issues, or muslim students upholding religious beliefs that are strongly incompatible with western culture and politics, even possibly illegal. I believe one reason why some of the latter people could get marginalized is the fact that few or none of the non-muslim students agree with or want to be associated with this kind of stuff. The university should make a very clear stance against such extreme beliefs, intimidating students from a range of other cultures, and possibly implement an anonymous reporting tool to give an overview of this and other hostile situations at any given time.»
- There should be a regular student mixers, once a month, for just masters students, especially the second year students or exchange students, who might not have many classes or opportunities to interact the same way as regular masters students.»
- Keep the discussions where it is relevant or if it becomes a problem. Do not try to involve it in courses where it is not part of the learning outcomes.»
- No»
- I have bunch of international friends that I"ve made from my class. And these friends have turned out to be like family to me. I say promote cultural mixing, and good job Chalmers!»
- feels like there is somewhat of a split between Swedish and international students. Would be nice if it was more mixed.»
- It is hard to get in touch with swedish students but they are very nice and polite. »
- I still don"t see what the school have to do with how the students interact (unless they is the cause to segregation, which they ain"t). It"s not like the students is a bunch of kids and we risk a "Lord of the Flies" (although people seem to think so).»
- Diversity is fun, but we"re here to study math and physics and stuff, not the humanities. I do think there"s room for more social events in the master"s program though, which would give exchange students a better chance to make friends.»
- Having been an international student myself I wouldn"t mind socializing more with internationals. The Master program doesn"t really "connect" students in a social manner at all, but perhaps this is more the responsibility of the student union.»
- I am extremely happy to have been admitted to Chalmers as an international student for the full two year master program in Architecture and Urban Design, but there are far less Swedish students in the program then there should be. My last studio, only 25% of my fellow students were Swedish. »
- I mostly think it"s a problem with how international students are welcomed to Chalmers. They are only introduced and guided together with other international students and are not integrated with the Swedish students. »
- nope»
- I think that staying in another country for a while gives the best understanding of intercultural issues and settings because when you"re in your home town you don"t understand how it is not to be part of the the "main/majority" culture, which gives a lot of insight.»
- It"s extremely important to discuss gender equality with the exchange students, I have friends who feel discriminated from the way the exchange students talk about girls. There should also be an English test before entering. I try to talk with the exchange students but it"s hard when a guy at IT has to Google "upgrade" to understand it...»
- Coming from another Scandinavian county (yet not speaking Swedish) I thought I would feel quite at home. However, it is curious how the language is still a barrier, and all of the foreigners in our class are CONSTANTLY inquired when will we speak Swedish. Even if the course is in English and everyone speaks it perfectly. I have many foreign friends back in my home country and never once have I asked them why don"t we start speaking my language. Another question is "when are you going home?". The Swedish culture unfortunately seems to be very homogenic and inward. It feels very excluding how people quickly switch back to their old groups and talks when the formal class is over. »
- I think you can see a divide among the Swedish students, in that those who have studied abroad or lived abroad are more outgoing and engage more naturally with international students. »
- I don"t think professors should be the one initiating cultural dialogue. Professors also come from various backgrounds and that is great. In my opinion it is much harder for international students to get to know Swedish culture and enjoy it. I always feel there is a good communication between international students of different nationalities but communication is definitely lacking between internationals and Swedish students. I believe part of the problem is in the economic differences. Swedish students and often students from other developed countries can communicate much better because they can get to know each other better, they can go for lunch together, to some movies, amusement park and so on, while Eastern European students probably need to work part time to make ends meet and cannot afford this social activities, Indian and other scholarship students have barely enough. So it is more common for such "poor" students to miss out on a lot of fun and have hard time getting to know and like Swedish culture. What I see as a good solution is to try to further internationalize the Student Union. More groups the non Swedish speaking students can join, more cultural dialogue. For example choir can sometimes sing something in English and allow international students to join, or theater group can do a play in English, and so on. More Chalmers or Student Union organized free activities would be great and some advertising of such activities in English would no doubt improve the situation. I know that it would be the best for international students to try to learn Swedish but it can be quite difficult to learn on your own: SFI is hard to get in, you have your studies, you don"t have any Swedish friends to practice with and so on. So more English speaking activities would no doubt connect international and Swedish students better.»
- noop»
- Compared to my University in Germany the activities to include people from other countries are way more advanced and plainly better.»
- The biggest problem is that by the time the Swedish students reach a Master"s programme they are already in stable groups of friends from the Bachelor and it"s difficult to let new people into them. More small-scale events would have to be organised on the class level for people to get to know each other. If the events are too big, the Swedish people will again stay in their comfort zone and don"t feel any incentive to talk to new people.»
- The grading mechanism is so bad in Chalmers university need to be re evaluated. It is not fair to be assessed 100% on final exam. Following this method let some student don"t participate effectively in group of work»
-
- Organizing events where international students can learn about Swedish culture, but also events where international students can share their own culture.»
- Almost all the billboards and signs in Chalmers are in Swedish, which made international student feel much less welcome and convenient. That leads to situation that international students miss a lot of chances to attend activities and get information, or even worse, do not care about it anymore. There are also some very useful workshops and courses that are held in Swedish. For instance there was a workshop about how to make use of Linkedin, held by career service, unfortunately it was only only in Swedish. The same applies to all the student societies.»
- I think Chalmers organizes activities but not really the student union or building organizations that welcomes students (apart from CIRC, that is mostly run by former international students)»
- Nein!»
- look at CSE and what they do!»
- Not at this time :)»
- Can"t be involved in associations. Most of the members are Swedes and speak Swedish.»
- I noticed that students in other programmes are not integrated in the class as well.»
- The swedish students" effort put into getting to know internationals are in many cases really low and some cases non-existing. I understand that not everyone has the interest in internationals or maybe find it uncomfortable speaking english or whatever reason there might be, but being in an international environment is very fun and good for your personal development, which really should be communicated to increase the swedish interaction with internationals.»
- Majority of the Swedish students in (MPEPO) do nit mingle. Very few mingle, so an awareness of mingling and talking (every time the excuse of Swedes are conservative and shy won"t work, a person can be shy initially, but after talking the shyness should go off) needs to be created among Swedish students.In my class out of 10 Swedish students 2 of them are extremely open and receptive , whereas the remaining 8 stay aloof. Once myself and another guy (I think from Africa) joined a lab group where there were 3 swedish students.Within 10 minutes our group changed (3 of them left) and a new group was formed. Has it got anything to do with shyness? Its just a lab session. What I feel is left to ourselves, the mixture can never happen, so its better the teacher selects the groups (consisting of a mix of students). »
- I bearly interact with the international students at all, and it works just fine for me.»
- Swedish don"t generally wish to mix»
- I think the issue is quite vital but whether or not it is the teachers responsibility might be debatable.»
- Swedish always stays with Swedish which I think it is typical thing and hard to change.¨, But in some work or assignment, you can make multicultural team by mandatory from teacher if you want to make practical multicultural environment in Chalmers. »
- Chalmers is a good University towards creating international atmosphere by accepting international students. However, it still need to do more in mixing those students with the natives as well as with others.»
- Mostly the consensus is like Swedes are very difficult to approach not all though but maximum. They have their own group while sitting in class or lab group or computer excercise group etc. This creates an environment where we can not mix well and could not involved in this beautiful contry"s culture.»
- In my experience, about 50% of the international students lacks core knowledge in academic integrity. Such as, you don"t copy a text in to the report and don"t bring a reference... it is just basic stuff, then again some are very good. »
- No»
- It is good to mix people in different culture to work together, but sometimes it"s hard to get rid of conflicts when people cannot understand or communicate fluently if they just became new aquatance for short time. Just let things happen naturally will be better.»
- Become a CIRC Phadder! It"s fun.»
- No.»
- I really feel comfortable being an international student here in Chalmers.»
- More mingle events must be organized for all the students. There must be cultural exchange through organized events that could bring students together from different backgrounds.»
- It is not just about cultures. It is also little interaction between Chalmers students from different bachelors. »
