3 MAIN WAYS OF GOING ON EXCHANGE STUDIES ABROAD
There are three main ways of going for an exchange period abroad for students at our faculty:
1. Exchange Studies via University-Wide agreements
• Governed by the International Office
• Most places outside Europe.
• One application round a year for the next academic year
2. Exchange Studies via the Faculty of Sciences and Technology, as well as Departments belonging to the faculty
• Governed by the faculty or the departments
• Most places in Europe
• Two application rounds a year for the next term
• More information on this page
• Special information for students of Umea Institute of Design
• Special information for students of Umea School of Architecture
• Organised individually by the student
• No limitations in destinations
• Most often organised one term in advance
Observe that there are also specific mobility programs for students willing to study within the northern arctic circle area and Nordic countries. Those are governed centrally at university and the detailed information can be found here:
