Travel report
After your exchange you need to write a travel report. You don't have to follow this template, however, it would be of great help to future students if you were to describe the course selection procedure and your experience of the courses taken. Make your travel report creative and fun but refrain from using names and any personal information.
Please send your travel report to outgoing@fek.uu.se as a pdf file. The travel report will be posted on our website. We reserve the right to shorten the report and to remove unsuitable content.
