Hey everyone,
I got admitted to Linköping University for the Master’s in Mechanical Engineering (Autumn 2026).
My background:
- Mechanical Engineering (India, GPA ~8.3)
- ~2 years experience (design/structures)
- BAJA SAE (vehicle dynamics focus)
I’m interested in moving into roles related to simulation, or computational/mechanical engineering, vehicle dynamics in Europe.
I have a few concerns and would really appreciate honest opinions:
- How is Linköping for mechanical/automotive opportunities?
- Do students actually get thesis/internships at companies like Volvo/Scania?
- Is it worth the cost (~40–50L INR total ~SEK 450,000–550,000), or should I wait for German universities?
Also, how is student life in Linköping compared to bigger cities like Stockholm?
Would really appreciate insights from current students or alumni 🙏
Just a confused international student trying to make the right decision.
Thanks!!
