You can broaden or deepen your education. When studying abroad you can choose courses that are not available at Umeå University which means you have the chance to both broaden and deepen your knowledge.
You create bonds with people from other continents. Having contacts abroad can be valuable for example if you are interested in an international career.
You have the chance to work on your personal development.
You can deepen your knowledge in a language or learn a new one. Spending time with people who speak another language is a fun way to deepen your knowledge in a language you already speak or a way to learn a new language.
You have a valuable qualification for your future career.
