    “I chose Lund University because it is one of the best universities in the field of Mathematics and Statistics, and rightly so. I was introduced to a variety of highly intriguing subjects, subjects that pertained to statistics in the field of finance, medicine, extreme events and more. We were given real time projects, whose difficulty level was fairly high and to be submitted on deadlines, but this helped us get ready for the projects and problems that await us in the real world. We worked on the latest and most widely used softwares in the industry these days. There was always a perfect blend of theoretical and practical knowledge. All professors had excellent knowledge and expertise in their respective field of study and were easily approachable."
