Abstract
The number of international PhD students is increasing at Lund University. They might
experience some problems in relation to social and cultural aspects and the way
information is accessed. This could also have consequences for their PhD dissertation
work. This study aimed at giving voice to some international PhD students to get a
glimpse of how they perceive their situation regarding the above aspects. Although the
interviewed PhD students seemed to be quite satisfied with their situation it is obvious
that more can be done in relation to how they are introduced to the University, Swedish
culture and practical matters.
