Dear new student!

It is my pleasure to welcome you here for you two years studies at the International Master of Science program; Resource Recovery-Sustainable Energy Processes, TAREE. And you are most welcome to Borås, a wonderful city in the west of Sweden. Borås was awarded 2020-2021 years Student city in Sweden and the city is currently celebrating it´s 400 year anniversary, meaning a lot of activities. Borås is also hosting an Art Biennale until the end of September, decorating the city with different art as sculptures, installations etc. Borås has it’s own idea page for students to find different activities; https://www.boras.com/en/ , with tips and ideas on what to do or were to go.

The University provides help and support in many areas such as search, language support, study planning or work shops; Support - University of Borås (hb.se), International student support - University of Borås (hb.se).
