Hi everyone,
I recently graduated with a Master’s degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology from an EU university and I’m considering moving to Sweden for personal reasons.
I’m trying to understand what kind of opportunities are available in Sweden for someone with my background. At the moment, I would prefer not to pursue a PhD, but I’m open to internships (paid or unpaid), part-time roles, or entry-level positions to gain experience.
I’m particularly interested in roles such as lab technician, research assistant, or positions within biotech/pharma companies.
One limitation is that I don’t speak Sweden yet. How much of a barrier is that in this field?
Also, if finding a job directly is difficult, would you recommend any additional courses, certifications, or skills that are especially valued in Sweden (e.g. bioinformatics, lab techniques, etc.)?
Any advice or personal experiences would be really helpful. Thanks a lot!
