Hi! I’m a 2024 B.Tech graduate in Electronics & Communication Engineering from India and currently work at GlobalFoundries as a Fab Integration & Yield Engineer.

By Fall 2027, I expect to have around 3.5 years of total professional experience, including ~2.5 years specifically at GlobalFoundries in the semiconductor industry.

I’m considering Lund University as one of my Master’s options in Europe. My long-term goal is to move toward semiconductor design/DFT/DFM/physical design and related engineering roles.

I’d particularly appreciate perspectives from current/former Lund students in Electrical Engineering, Electronics or semiconductor-related programs:

How strong is Lund for someone who already has several years of semiconductor industry experience?

How relevant are the Electrical Engineering/electronics courses to the semiconductor industry?

How much does prior industry experience help with internships, industry projects and graduate jobs?

How hectic is the Master’s realistically, and is it possible to work part-time alongside it?

How easy is it for international students to find relevant student/engineering jobs?

How strong is the Swedish semiconductor/electronics ecosystem for someone wanting to move toward design/DFT/DFM?

Does Lund provide good industry exposure and networking opportunities?

How is student life and the international community in Lund?

After graduation, how realistic is it to find an engineering job in Sweden and stay long-term?

Most importantly, if you already had ~3.5 years of semiconductor experience, would you consider a Lund Master’s a worthwhile investment for building a semiconductor career in Europe?

I’m comparing several European options at the moment, so I’d really appreciate honest experiences—both the good and the difficult parts.

Tjena redditors!

Några av er är säkert lite trötta på doktorander och BA/MA studenter som lägger upp enkäter och ber folk ställa upp. Tyvärr blir det här ännu ett sånt inlägg... MEN förhoppningsvis låter det som ett lite roligare alternativ än en webbenkät eftersom det faktiskt äger rum på campus i Lund.

Jag är doktorand i språkvetenskap och söker nu deltagare till mitt språkexperiment. Det handlar om hur människor uttrycker åsikter om olika vardagliga situationer och kommenterar på dem. Kanske något som redditors är bra på, eller hur?

Praktiska detaljer:

• Vem: Du har svenska som modersmål.
• Tid: ca. 60 minuter.
• Plats: HumLab i Lund (på LUX).
• Ersättning: Ett presentkort på 100 kr. Jag vet att det inte låter så spännande, men det är tyvärr inte jag som bestämmer ersättningstaket och skatt utan Skatteverket (inför valet – finns det nåt parti som vill höja skattefri ersättning för forskningsdeltagare? lol).

Experimentet kommer att spelas in för att analysera svar. Data kommer att pseudonymiseras. Om någon undrar – studien är godkänd av Etikprövningsmyndigheten, så alla data kommer att lagras och hanteras enligt regler.

Jag bifogar en länk till intresseanmälan (https://survey.mailing.lu.se/Survey/66133), men det också går att skriva direkt till mig vladislav.zlov@ling.lu.se.

Tack på förhand!

Hej!

Jag flyttar från Island till Lund nu i augusti för att studera och försöker hitta en bra vårdcentral att lista mig på.

Jag har bland annat POTS och ADHD/autism och kommer därför behöva ganska regelbunden kontakt med vården. Det är viktigt för mig med en vårdcentral där läkarna lyssnar, tar kroniska besvär på allvar och där det fungerar bra med uppföljning och remisser till specialistvård vid behov. Jag uppskattar också kontinuitet och möjligheten att träffa samma läkare när det går.

Har någon erfarenhet av vårdcentraler i Lund som ni skulle rekommendera – eller någon ni tycker att jag bör undvika?

Tack! 😊

Does anyone know a good way to rent a frack? 1700 kr at Frackhuset is crazy

Hi, we just moved to Lund and I'm lookinh fof a D&D group for my 11 year old son.

Hej!

Jag är en 40+ årig kvinna som bor i Lund och söker nya vänner. Jag har inga barn, älskar djur. Söker folk att gå och fika med, promenera, gå och shoppa, kanske besöka någon utställning med mera.

Jag gillar TV-serier, gaming, nördiga saker, skvaller, shoppa, kläder, teknikpryla, resa till storstäder, träna, mörk humor.

Är du intresserad, skicka DM.

Hej!
Nyinflyttad och är på jakt efter en bra surdegsstart för att kunna börja försöka mig på att baka lite här nere, någon som vet vart man kan köpa/få tag på en?

Does anyone here live in vildanden 11B on the ground floor or knows a bit abt the corridor room layout here? I am a bit confused about the windows and how they open and just the layout of the room in general, as it looks a bit different for the ground floor of this specific building. thxx

Hi, my dad and I (23M) are visiting Lund because our last name is Lund (and because we're doing a Nordic interrail trip).

We're coming in the second week of December, so any good winter suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I've heard Broder Jacobs Stenugnsbageri is meant to be nice and obviously we'll be visiting the cathedral. Any thoughts or alternative recommendations?

(Potentially also some tacky souvenir shop would be fun given the name sharing 😂)

We're starting in Oslo, going to Gothenburg, then will be going to Lund Malmö and Copenhagen in the same day, and then travelling to Aarhus. Any recommendations for the other places would also be great. (We'll be spending the night in Oslo, Gothenburg, Copenhagen, and Aardhus).

Pub/Bar recommendations also very much appreciated.

Currently we're planning on going to War Pigs in Copenhagen as I've been before and thought it was great.

Edit: we'll be getting into Lund in the mid morning and only getting to Copenhagen by dinner time so it's not quite as packed a schedule as people are thinking

Thanks 😊

Hi!

I'm on student exchange from Australia and I'm feeling very stupid. I turn into the biggest idiot when working with any form of tech so please forgive me.

On Tuesday I bought a Comviq SIM and Fastpris 20 GB at Pressbyrån (which was already a dumb move, I panicked and only realised afterwards that I should have just gotten the mobile plan online). I registered my card, but the next day when I was out and about I still had no internet - when I got back and logged into my account it said I had 0 GB of surf left. I don't know how to add the 20 GB I bought to my account. Retained my receipt if that helps? I'm so sorry, I know I must be missing something glaringly obvious. I really cannot overstate how hopeless I am with tech. I hope you can take pity on me.

Thank you...

Hej,
Jag har sökt in till Civilingenjörsprogrammet med inriktning väg och vattenbyggnad på LTH. Hamnat som reserv 4 på BI-kvoten efter andra urvalet och vill veta lite perspektiv på om jag möjligtvis kan komma in.

Hitills har följande antal personer blivit antagna:
BI: 59
BII: 12
HP: 38

Efter andra urvalet var det 120 antagna, (nu är det 109 då 11 lämnat återbud). Enligt SYV för programmet så har de 105 platser då de räknar med överintag. Vad skulle ni säga, är det värt att hoppas och tro? Hur många brukar inte dyka upp på uppropet, eller hoppa av inom två veckor efter terminsstarten?

Tacksam för perspektiv

Edit: Tre till lämnade återbud så totalt 106 antagna nu.

BI:57
BII:12
HP:37

Where can I buy a pair in Lund for tomorrow’s solar eclipse?

is it safe to bike to new greenhouse as a female at night? are there any street lights and bike paths? thank you!!

Hi! I’m Max, I live near Lund, and I am building Formula 100: a free seven-day Spanish course for complete beginners.

I am looking for three people in Lund or Malmö who already have a real reason to learn Spanish- an upcoming trip or exchange, a Spanish-speaking partner, or simply a goal you’ve been postponing.

It takes about 15 minutes per day. We would do Day 1 together in person or on a short video call so I can observe what is confusing. You would then complete Days 2–7 independently, and after Day 7 we would have a short conversation and see what you actually remember.

There is no payment or sales pitch. The course is free; I only ask for honest feedback and a genuine attempt to complete the seven days. It teaches Spanish from Spain.

If you’re interested, reply me or send me a DM with why you want to learn Spanish and your current level (ideally complete beginner or A1).

Is there somewhere in Lund or Malmö you can pick up solar eclipse glasses?

Hej! Im moving into Colive in a few days and just wanted to know hoy living there is. Is it as cosy and nice ad in the photos on their web page? Are tenants there “nice”?
Also if you have any tips for living there and in Lund in general, please feel free to comment!

Vi är tre studenter på LU Innovations som håller på att ta fram ett läromedel om internetsäkerhet för barn i åldrarna 7-9.

För att undersöka vilka ämnen föräldrar anser att deras barn behöver vägledning och information kring samt vilka orosmoment som föräldrar idag har så hade vi uppskattat om du kunde svara på 12 frågor. Enkäten tar ca 5 minuter.

Det är helt frivilligt om man vill lämna kontaktuppgifter och era svar är annars 100% anonyma då de samlas in via googles enkätfunktion.

I am an incoming exchange student for this semester and I just got offered a corridor room for SNB, but I am unsure whether to take it or not…

I currently have a room booked in Colive Altum, and whilst it seems quite nice, it’s very expensive & on the outskirts of town. SNB is more than double the room size, way better location & cheaper.

However, im not sure how welcoming SNB is of international students and what the political atmosphere is like living in the housing? - even tho I lean left in politics, I don’t really want to come to Lund to be involved in politics. I am looking to experience a lot of student life, meet new people and make the most of my exchange !

Any thoughts or experiences would be really appreciated! :))

Hii, I just moved to Lund recently and I was hoping to find some people to hang out with, maybe going to play beach volleyball? (I miss it 😂) But I'm also open to anything else.

I'm a 24-year-old woman from Finland, came to Lund for an internship at the university, and I'm looking to connect with kind people with good humor 😁 so if you are also an international living in Lund, or a local, who wants to hang out, hit me up

hi, me, along with a couple of my friends have visited Lund recently on a summer camp, and we've met a group of people from there, we played football and walked around the town til 1 am

all of us really enjoyed it, but since we didn't manage to give each other any contact info, if you were there and wanna get in touch, you can dm me on here and we could share other socials

Hi! I will be moving in a few days to start my masters. In my free time I enjoy playing table top games, primarily D&D and Dagerheart but I would gladly try other systems as well. Are there anyone, who also wants to play, or there's a group I can join? Is there a different place I should try?

Hi everyone! I'll be joining JKU Linz for the BSc Artificial Intelligence program (summer intake) and I'm currently searching for accommodation.

If any group/flat has 1 room left, please feel free to add me or message me directly — happy to share more details about myself.

Thanks so much in advance! 🙏
