Scandinavia ans esp. Sweden are just amazing in speaking English. It's not easy to learn Swedish, since they always change to English if they notice that it is hard for you to speak Swedish.

Course recommendations
Having a laptop is strongly recommended because all the lectures are on the website of the university and most interactions with the teachers is by email. Some exams are sent by email too.
