Later part of the programme means that you are not applying for the first semester, but for a later semester. This is only possible if there are places available for the semester to which you are eligible.
Most programmes at Umeå University have Swedish as the language of instruction, but there are also some programmes that have English as the language of instruction.

For Umeå University to be able to assess your qualifications, you must:
- Fulfill the basic and special requirements for the programme.
