Chalmers University Of Technology, Gothenburg Ranking 2025 from QS, THE & US NEWS

• The placements of my batch were not good as the global market was hit and job markets all over the worlds were affected by it. Generally the placements for Chalmers are good. But again, as there is no assistance from the university, it is completely on the student of how they secure the job interviews.
• There are however some job fair hosted by the university, but they are just an opportunity to connect with people which usually is not very effective. Major companies that hire for my course are Volvo Group, Volvo cars, Scania etc.

• There is no accommodation on campus , however the university has some tie ups with large housing forms, they provide relatively affordable rooms. Monthly rent can be 4000 SEK for housing consisting of shared bathroom and kitchen, room having attached bathroom and shared kitchen can range from 5500 -7000 SEK.
• A studio apartment consisting attached bathroom and kitchen can be 6500-8000 SEK. The distance from the university differs property to property some student housings are near and some can be very far from university (20 mins by public transport).

• The monthly rent was 3850 SEK and it was a 2-year contract. It had a bedroom with a bathroom attached but the kitchen was shared between 6 other people.

I have heard mostly good about students that did well in their studies and gained the required skills to match industry requirements. Some master's students do find it tough to get a master's thesis but that's because of the competition. Many global companies such as Ericsson, Volvo, Spotify, and IKEA have their offices in Gothenburg and therefore there are nice opportunities.

I chose Chalmers University because of my advisor. For a Ph.D., more than the university an alignment with your advisor is necessary and I felt a great connection with my prospective advisor, the university did not have a language barrier for most courses and that helped me with choosing it. Apart from my advisor, my prospective research group was also very strong.
