Student life

At Umeå Institute of Design, we work together to create an inclusive and supportive environment. We put people first, not only in our design thinking, but in the day-to-day life.

The small classes and the familiar atmosphere fosters a collective spirit, across programmes. Staff and students alike share a joint sense of purpose to make a difference, through design.
