About Teaching Sabbatical

STINT cooperates with selected higher education institutions based in USA, Singapore, Hong Kong and Japan. As a participating lecturer you reside at the host institution during the autumn semester (August–December). The intention is that you teach, either by giving a course themselves or in partnership with a colleague at the host institution.

You cannot apply directly to STINT, applicants are nominated by Umeå University. The International Office announces the programme once a year, during the spring semester.

Workshop: Application for Teaching Sabbatical

A digital workshop for those who are interested in applying for Teaching Sabbatical is organized 24 May, 15–16.30.
