Don't miss the opportunity to travel around Sweden, Norway, Finland, Russia and the Baltic countries, you won't regret it! Just remember that Finland is the "cheapest" country and Norway the most expensive one (Sweden stands in between!).

When would you ever have the time to study in an environment like htis: -20 in winter, lots of snow and northern light, midnightsun in summer! There are about 300 international students there and they are all right to be there! The international office takes good care of you (travelling, parties)and you learn a lot here...academically and personally!

Overall I can be satisfied. I think there are always things to improve. Luckily Umeå University's Business School values the evaluation of the students.

“Pretty ok university”

Overall
I’m currently studying medicine here, and in terms of the program itself, everything is well-structured and meets expectations. The education is solid, and academically, I have no complaints. However, one aspect that had a significant impact on me was the social environment among the students.
I've found that many people in the medicine program can come across as cold or even a bit unkind — it reminded me a lot of high school dynamics. At first, I thought it was just my class, but after interacting with students from other class, I realized they experienced the same atmosphere. There’s often a sense of walking on eggshells when trying to engage with classmates, which makes it difficult to form meaningful connections.
So, if you're looking for a tight-knit, friendly group or hoping to make lasting friendships, I wouldn’t particularly recommend studying healthcare in Umeå. But if you're focused purely on the education and don’t mind a more distant social scene, it's definitely a strong university academically.

I FEEL THAT AS AN INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY THEY SHOULD IMPLEMENT CERTAIN STRATEGIES TO MAKE THE LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL STUDENT WORK WITH EACH OTHER,LEARN FROM EACH OTHER.FOREXAMPLE THE WAY GROUP WORKS ARE ORGANISED IS DISAPPOINTING FOR AN INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY.I FEEL THAT INTERNATIONAL STUDENT LEAVE THEIR HOME COUNTRY TO LEARN ABOUT WAYS AND REASONING OF STUDENTS ABROAD NOT TO COME AND STILL FIND THEMSELVES WORKING TOGETHER IN THE SAME GROUP DUE TO REGULATION/LAW ABOUT STUDENTS DECIDING WHO TO WORK WITH.OBVIOUSLY WHEN STUDENTS ARE ALLOW TO DECIDE WHO TO WORK WITH THE LOCAL STUDENTS WILL PREFER WORKING WITH THEIR FRIENDS,AND THE INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS WILL BE FORCED TO WORK AMONGST THEMSELVES THUS STILL CARRYING ON THE SAME SYSTEM OF REASONING AND APPROACH TO STUDIES.I FEEL THAT IS NOT GOOD AND I SUGGEST A CHANGE.
