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.

Per the Swedish Code of Statutes, SFS 2010:543, all non-EU/EEA citizens are required to pay tuition for studies at the level of higher education.
