My name is Azhiemi and I’m from Indonesia 🇮🇩. I’m studying for a Master’s in Architecture and Urban Design at Umeå University.
It’s my second year studying Master of Architecture and Urban Design in Umeå University. One of the reasons I choose to study here is because of the timber innovation and its sustainability, through the Swedish Institute for Global Professional Schoolarship. As a future architect, I think it is the best way for me to learn from the pioneers of sustainability. This school offers me to learn how arts and technology can be combined.
Being lonely or discriminated as minority? No, as a Muslim, I never experience it. Otherwise, the environment supports, loves, and respects who you are. The school gives space for everyone to practice their religion. In addition, one thing that I’ve learned here is lagom. We are always encouraged to not work overtime and never bring our work to home. Because home is home!! Time to chill, and recharge the energy.
Studying here is blessing for me. I can study in international vibes, learn high-tech art-architecture, and get the most beautiful nature easily, especially Northern Lights!! I will share my stories during study in sweden.
Lycka till, and vi ses i Sverige!
