You'll receive a top quality edcuation
I am very satisfied with Lulea Teknista University, I applied via university admissions and the whole process was super smooth. The study was all remote, the topics were very interesting, I learned so much there and last but not least the professors are very kind.
Psychology Student
Personally I think the technological programs get more benefits and spotlight than my own psychology program. If I'm not wrong, there's been more events for those students than there has been for us within the humanities.
My Academic and Musical Journey
My academic and professional journey in music has been both unique and enriching. I have studied in Montréal, France, and Québec, and in September I will begin a new chapter in Sweden as a master’s student. This non-traditional path has allowed me to grow as both a musician and a scholar. Through my studies, I have developed strong skills in cello performance, orchestral conducting, and composition, while also gaining a deeper understanding of musicology. One of the most rewarding aspects of my experience has been the opportunity to combine practical musical training with academic study. I have also had the chance to perform abroad and participate in international programs, which helped broaden my perspective. Adapting to different systems and cultures taught me to be flexible, independent, and motivated. Although I sometimes found a lack of connection between theory and practice in some institutions, learning to bridge this gap helped me become more creative and self-reliant. In addition to my studies, I have held several jobs in education, first aid, and team supervision, which taught me responsibility, organization, and leadership. Overall, my academic path has prepared me to face future challenges with confidence, and I am excited to continue developing my skills and contributing to the musical community through further studies in Sweden.
