Abdel-Hakeem Mohamed

Host Institution: Högskolan Väst (University West), Sweden
Programme: MA in Work-Integrated Learning (Political Science)

As a SANORD BOC Scholarship recipient, Abdel-Hakeem Mohamed from UWC spent three enriching months at University West in Trollhättan, Sweden. Immersed in an international classroom with peers from across the globe — from England to Brazil, Pakistan to Chechnya — Abdel-Hakeem Mohamed formed lasting friendships and expanded his academic horizons.

His time abroad also opened doors for future opportunities, securing an integrated internship and a thesis supervisor in the field of security studies. Beyond the classroom, he took full advantage of European travel, exploring Poland and Belgium, including a visit to the EU Parliament in Brussels — a unique experience aligning perfectly with his studies in Political Science and international affairs.

Abdel-Hakeem Mohamed’s journey illustrates the true spirit of the SANORD BOC Scholarship: fostering international connections, academic growth, and cultural exchange.
