NEWS The new student website has now been launched with the aim to simplify for students at Umeå University. The web contains new solutions and improvements, and a whole new design.
The student website is designed to make it easier for students to find the information they need.

“Our students mean a lot to us, and with the new student website, we want to ensure that they have access to the resources and tools they need to succeed in their studies,” says Cathrine Norberg, Deputy Vice-Chancellor of Education at Umeå University.
When visiting the new student website, www.umu.se/en/student, you will notice the new appearance. It has a new navigation structure that makes it easier to find information, and an improved search function.
“We’ve listened to feedback and many students have been engaged in the process,” says Gunilla Stendahl, Communications Director at Umeå University.
When a student logs in using their UMU ID, the schedule will be shown automatically on the start page, just like before. There are also links to welcome information, course syllabi and literature lists. On the remaining pages, there is information that all students may need together with content applicable to the students’ specific courses and programmes. About, for instance, exams, IT support, the Student Health Service, study guidance, studies abroad and how to book a group study room. Students get the best experience if they log into the student website.
The University wants to simplify for students to find the University’s information online. The new student website will not solve all challenges, but it will hopefully simplify for our students. Read more about how the new student website works.
Students log in using their UMU ID user accounts on this address: www.umu.se/en/student
We would love to hear what students and staff think about the new setup, schedule view or if anything is missing. Go to the feedback form.
