STARKdagen – the annual labour market day at the University of Borås - 31 January

The University of Borås and the Student Union arrange every year a labour market day called STARKdagen. This year it will take place on 31 January in Balder and Sandgärdet (main university buildings) at 10.00 - 15.00. Different organisations, companies, public authorities and other potential employers then exhibit themselves to attract future employees among the students. You can find a lot of information (only in Swedish unfortunately) at http://www.starkdagen.se/ If you click on ”Årets utställare” you can find a list of all the different potential employers that will be present this year. If you click on the name you can most likely find a description in English about the company or organisation.

Tips on how to successfully find an employer at a labour market day:

• Check which exhibitors will be present. Which ones are interesting for you? Make a list and a plan of which ones you are going to talk to.



• Prepare what you are going to say. What do you have to offer? Be professional.



• If you are looking for a company for your thesis – present an idea to them, don’t expect them to present an idea to you.


• 
  Listen to what the needs of the potential employer are.



• Take the contact details of the person you talked to so that you can contact him or her afterwards.



• Don’t stay too long at one exhibitor – make sure you have time for everyone on your list.



• Ask if you can give them your CV or if they want you to send it to them. Bring a few in case.



• Don’t walk around and talk to the exhibitors in groups – they are looking for individuals.



• Think about what your appearance (clothes etc) says about yourself – how do you want to be perceived? If you are concerned about styling, don’t worry! There will be hairdressers present giving free haircuts!

Indian Food Festival 2011

Organised by Indian students at the University of Borås

No more airport buses Landvetter-Borås

As of 1 January 2012 the airport buses will stop running between Landvetter airport and Borås (due to too few passengers).

There are a few direct buses going between Landvetter and Borås each day operated by the company Swebus. The only way to buy a ticket for the bus is in advance online on their website: http://www.swebus.se/ Click on the British flag in the upper right corner for English.

You can also take bus number 511 to Landvettermotet and switch to bus number 101 to Borås resecentrum. You might have to wait up to 30 minutes at Landvettermotet before bus number 101 arrives. See http://vasttrafik.se/

Another option is to take bus number 100 to Korsvägen in Göteborg and then take the airport bus (flygbussarna) to Landvetter airport from the same stop. The ride takes about 45 minutes from Borås resecentrum to Korsvägen and 20 minutes from Korsvägen to Landvetter.

For taxi fares see http://www.taxikurir.se/boras and http://www.taxiboras.se/priser/flygtaxi/

Christmas Goodbye Party

The university would like to invite all international students leaving Borås this semester to a Christmas Goodbye Party (even if you are not leaving but would like to say goodbye to those who are, you are welcome).

There will be a Christmas buffet and Christmas drinks in the Green Cafeteria in the main university building on Wednesday 14 December between 5 pm and 7 pm.

There will also be a “secret santa gift exchange” which means that you will need to bring a wrapped gift (bought for 30-50 SEK) and put it on the “gift table”. The Christmas gifts will then be handed out during the evening.

No registration needed. First-come, first-served.

Meeting with Christian students at the University of Borås

Jonathan Bergqvist from the Christian student fellowship and Yngve Glans, student priest, are inviting all students at the University of Borås to a meeting.

Thursday 1 December.
16.30 - 17.00
D 211 (close to the quiet room).

A good opportunity for you to meet Christians from all over the world!

CasaSwap - online roommate and housing services

There is a new online roommate and housing service for students all over the world called CasaSwap.com. I encourage you to use it so that it will be a little bit easier for international students to find housing in Borås!

Lucia celebration

13 December is the day of Saint Lucia, which is celebrated in a very special way in Sweden. On this day (or a day close to this date) people gather early in the morning to eat ginger bread cookies (pepparkakor) and saffron flavoured buns (lussekatter), while watching and listening to a procession headed by a “Lucia”. She wears a white gown with a red sash and a crown of candles on her head. Her handmaidens, also dressed in white, each hold a candle. They sing Christmas carols and songs about Lucia. It is also a form of annual beauty contest where each city appoints a Lucia. There is also a national Lucia competition. You can read more about the tradition and the history of it here.

International students are kindly invited to celebrate Saint Lucia (together with the staff of the university) and listen to the Lucia of Borås and her handmaidens on Monday 12 December between 7.30-8.30 am in the Green cafeteria (note the starting time). If you would like to attend this celebration, please register no later than 5 December at 3 pm with me in room J434, on the fourth floor in the library building. There will be a list on the door where you can put down your name.

I really recommend that you attend this celebration since it can be a very nice and very "Swedish" experience!

Survey: Study in Sweden - and then?

A survey has been sent out to international degree students at UB. This survey is part of a research project across five European Union (EU) countries, carried out by the Expert Council of German Foundations on Integration and Migration (SVR) in Berlin and the Migration Policy Group (MPG) in Brussels. International students in five EU countries will be asked to participate in a survey about their experiences of studying abroad and their migration plans for after they graduate. With the results, we aim to better understand the experiences, needs and concerns of international students. Your opinions will help us to advise policymakers and university officials. The survey is intended for citizens of non-European countries who are enrolled at and expect to graduate from a university in an EU-member state. Students who have recently graduated are also eligible to take part.

Student representatives

Student representatives have now been appointed. Check your inbox for a list with names.

They are your representatives. If there is something you think should be addressed and discussed in their meetings you should contact one of the representatives. This could be anything affecting international students. About your programme, your courses, your class, social environment, or something affecting international students in general. All suggestions of improvements (and preferably possible solutions) are welcome.

Updating your contact details

If you have moved to another address since you first registered at University of Borås, you need to inform us about this. Please, log on to “My Account” and make sure that your contact details are up to date. The account is connected to the LADOK system, which means that address changes made there will automatically be sent to the LADOK database, from where the university staff can view the data.

You can however not change identity numbers in My account. If you have received a Swedish personal identity number after starting your studies at UB you should exchange this number for your University Identification Numbers as this will for example make registering for exams easier. You should bring a personbevis from the Tax Agency (Skatteverket) or a copy of a Swedish ID card to the Student Centre, and they will inform LADOK.

Also make sure that the university library has your correct e-mail address so that they know where to send messages about overdue loans.

When applying for an extension of your residence permit at the Swedish Migration Board it is also very important that they have your correct contact details and personal details. Otherwise it will take much longer for you to receive their decision.

Apply for autumn semester 2012

UB programmes for autumn 2012 are already open for application! Applications are made at universityadmissions.se - the new website for application to university studies in Sweden (formerly studera.nu)

The current selection of programmes at the University of Borås can be found here, as well as information on fees, tuition fee waivers and admission requirements.

- What are the components of a business idea?
- How do I start a company and what steps do I need to take?

You sign up by clicking here!

Welcome to Drivhuset!

Insurance for exchange students from outside the EU

Exchange students (students from our partner universities) coming from outside the EU/EEA are insured through "The Swedish State's Insurance for Foreign Students in Sweden". This insurance only covers emergency health care (including emergency dental care for a cost of maximum 3000 SEK). It does not cover property or losses from burglary, robbery, and other theft. So if you don't have a private insurance for this, it could be good to get one (for example a travel insurance from your home country) and make sure to be careful with your things!

The proposal about residence permit for jobseekers

At the end of March 2011 a proposal about letting students with residence permits stay for six months in Sweden after their graduation to search for jobs was presented. There are some rumours going that this has already come into force. This is not the case. The rules have not yet changed. This is still only a proposal.

The only way now for students with residence permits to stay and search for jobs after they are finished with their studies is to apply for a residence permit "to visit". But if they are then offered a job they need to apply for the work permit from their home country. It cannot be done from Sweden.

Clarification about driving licenses

If you come from outside the EU you need to apply for an exemption to continue using your foreign driving license after one year, even if you have an international driving license (which is only an interpretation of your national driving license).

Reminder to all students from EU countries

You need to register your right of residence with the Swedish Migration Board. You can read more here.

Places left for the Swedish language courses starting in October

There are still a few places left for the beginners course starting 21/10 and the continuation course starting 28/10.

Apply before 18/10.

More information can be found at www.hb.se/swedishforstudents

Cinnamon Bun Day

Today is Kanelbullens dag! So make sure to have a cinnamon bun. I found a good article about it here.

Are you interested in becoming a student representative?

I am looking for students who are willing to actively engage in dialogue with both students and staff at the university on issues affecting the education and life of international students in Borås.

What does a student representative do?
Being a student representative will entail a minimum of a few hours of work per month. There will be approximately three meetings per semester with me, where I will also invite people from the university and Borås, depending on the topic. As a student representative you will be a point of contact for students who have suggestions or problems, and communicate this at the meetings.

What do I get as a student representative?
In addition to making meaningful contributions to the improvement of the university and your department, being a student representative can give you important communication and leadership skills and build your CV. All student representatives will receive certificates of participation.

How are student representatives elected?
The student representatives should represent different departments and programmes, and should be both exchange students and degree students. If the interest is big, I will choose the representatives on a first come first served basis.

If you are interested, send an e-mail to internationalstudent@hb.se and state your name and studies and the starting and finishing dates of your studies at UB.

Catalogue of Activities at Student Services

You can find a new catalogue of courses, workshops and other activities at Student Services here. Remember that for most of the activities you need to register in advance at "Current Courses" on www.hb.se/blr

Courses in Borås

To take a course outside the university (in for example photography, dancing or cooking) can be a good way to get to know other people and to practice your Swedish or English.

These are schools in Borås that offer courses like this:
http://www.folkuniversitetet.se/ (also offers Swedish language courses in Borås)
http://www.abf.se/ (offers Swedish language courses in Göteborg)
http://www.sv.se/
http://www.medborgarskolan.se/
http://www.sensus.se/
http://www.studieframjandet.se/

If you have a Swedish personal identity number you can study Swedish free of charge at SFI (Swedish for Immigrants). You can read more about SFI in Borås here.

Welcome and Some Information about the Swedish Courses

First of all, a warm welcome to all new students starting (and a welcome back for the ones who are continuing) this autumn term! I hope that you all had a safe arrival and that Borås and Sweden are treating you well. I also hope that you attended the introduction days last week and that you found them useful.

As you know, there were some problems with exchange students and registration. Exchange students cannot register themselves online for the Swedish language course. It will be done manually during the first day of the course (Ewa Rolling will take attendance and register the students present). More information about the Swedish courses can be found here: www.hb.se/swedishforstudents

New Information about Driver's Licenses

Students with a driver's license from outside the EU

Students with a driver's license from a country outside the EU are allowed to drive in Sweden for a period of one year after the date you have officially registered (folkbokfört) at the Tax Office and received a Swedish personal identity number. Notice that the date is not from when you arrive in Sweden, but from when you receive your number. After this time you need to get a Swedish driver's license or apply for an exemption as an international student. Note that getting a Swedish driver's license is a complicated, fairly time consuming, and expensive process.

How to apply for an exemption:

Students with a license from outside the EU are allowed to apply to renew the length they can drive on an exemption that they will stay here for only a limited time. This only applies if you are not planning on staying in Sweden after your studies and does not grant any kind of permanent license. The application requires an application to the Swedish Transport Agency (Transportstyrelsen) and an non-refundable application fee of 600 SEK.

Send the following to Transportstyrelsen 701 97 Örebro:
- A letter explaining why you want an exemption. Include your contact details.
- A letter from the university stating the length of your admittance to the university and that you are a student
- A copy of your driver's license

They will send you an invoice for the fee of 600 SEK, as well as more information about your exemption.

For more information you can see the website of Transportstyrelsen as well as Körkortsportalen.

Summer holidays at the International Student Services

The International Student Services will be on summer vacation for the next few weeks:

Emma Bergstedt: 9 July - 31 July
Friederike Schöne: 16 July - 7 August

You are welcome to visit us again in August!

Happy Midsummer!

Tomorrow is Midsummer Eve, one of the main Swedish traditions, and personally my favourite! Here you can read about how it is usually celebrated. There will be (at least) two traditional Midsummer celebrations, with dancing around the maypole, in Borås. One in Ramnaparken and one in Almenäs, both starting at 1 pm. Tomorrow is not a public holiday but most people are off work, Midsummer's Day on Saturday however is a public holiday. Glad midsommar!

Ascension Day and Sweden's National Day

Two public holidays in Sweden are coming up. Tomorrow is Ascension Day which is a Christian holiday celebrating Jesus’ ascension to heaven. It always occurs on the sixth Thursday after Easter Sunday. On Monday 6 June it is Sweden’s national day. You can read more about it here. In Borås there will be festivities at Seglora bygdegård at 2 pm and in Stadsparken at 3 pm. Friday is not a public holiday but a so called “klämdag” (a day between a holiday and a weekend – in Swedish “squeeze day”), which means that many people will be off work, giving them a long weekend.

Are you leaving Borås?

The time to go home is fast approaching for many of you. While exams are likely to be on your minds I would like to remind all students of a few tasks that need to be done before you go home.

1. Give notice to your landlord. If you do not give notice in advance you risk having to pay more rent, in some cases a couple of months worth of rent (check with your landlord how long the time of notice is, for AB Bostäder it is one month). So please contact your landlord as soon as possible to inform them you are planning on moving out. Don't forget to return your keys as well.
2. Return your access tag. Please return your access tag. During opening hours you can leave it at the Student Centre.
3. Return your library books and your library card. Make sure to return any books you have borrowed and to return your library card. Speak to the personnel at the information desk of the library to return your card.
4. Transcript of records, confirmation of studies, other documents. Do you have any documents you need printed or signed before you leave?
5. Fill out the survey for international students. The survey is available at: http://tiny.cc/hqz5h
6. Go to the goodbye party and visit the zoo (see below)

I hope you have had a good time at the University of Borås and I wish you the best of luck in all your future endeavors!
