Master's degree programmes in public health and business remain strong. Umeå University's Master's Programme in Psychology with Specialisation in Health Psychology and the Master's Programme in Spatial Planning and Sustainability also have many admitted students, and a high number of applicants.
“It is gratifying that interest has increased for so many of the university's programmes. We have both more applicants and more admitted students this year compared to last year. This year we have 1301 admitted students, last year the number was 972. Now the work begins to prepare the students for their studies in Umeå. Among other things, the international students will be invited to a Pre-departure webinar in the spring and will have access to an app where they can chat with other admitted students who are also starting their studies in the autumn here at the university”, says Cathrine Norberg.
