Umeå University, Sweden

Umeå University was founded in 1965 and is Sweden’s fifth oldest university. Today, we have a strong international and multicultural presence with students, teachers and researchers from all over the world. Offering around 2,000 courses and 150 study programmes, among them over 30 Master’s programmes in English. The number of students has risen steadily and is now around 36,000. Umeå University’s research spans the humanities, social sciences, educational sciences, medicine, and natural and engineering sciences.

To further strengthen our competitiveness in the north we have established an Arctic Research Centre, a multidisciplinary research environment offering a research environment intertwined by cooperation in project management, publications, supervision, international networks, arrangements, seminars and strategic research planning. The centre assembles a strong research environment with national proficiency in extensive research areas, such as the human dimension in cultural science, health, environmental, climate, policy, and socioeconomic issues. The concept is to provide a multi-disciplinary response to present and future demands of research-based knowledge for a sustainable development in the north. We also have a Centre for Sami Research (Vårdduo), a multi-disciplinary unit focusing on the only indigenous people of Sweden.
