Credit your studies
When you have completed your studies at a foreign university, you can apply to have them credited at Umeå University. If your studies abroad are credited, you do not need to take the corresponding courses at Umeå University. In order for your studies abroad to be admitted to Ladok, you must have applied for and received a decision on credit.

Become a student ambassador!
Every year, the International Office is looking for members for its student ambassador team. Your mission as an ambassador for exchange studies via the International Office will be to inform, inspire and encourage students at Umeå University to go on exchange studies. We want more people to know about the chance to go on exchange – you can be part of that by sharing your experiences.
