Internationalisation policy for Umeå University.

Umeå University has a coherent quality system for education that is integrated into the University’s operating cycle.

These activities together encompass all of the University’s organisational levels and are implemented in different time cycles. This document describes these activities and how they contribute to both quality development and quality assurance.
