Hundreds of international students are welcomed at the university

NEWS On Wednesday 28 August, international students from all over the world are welcomed to the university. To facilitate the arrival and give the new students a positive first impression, an Orientation is organised.

– We look forward to welcoming the new students, and to give a valuable introduction to the university, says Jessica Bergström Grahn, Communications Officer at the International Office.

For students renting their accommodation through the International Housing Office, a welcoming has already begun. Those who arrived on 26 August and those who arrive on 27 August by air, are welcomed at Umeå Airport where they get bus transportation to Infocenter to collect keys for their student dorm. Then a taxi ride to the accommodation awaits.

On 28 August at 13, the Orientation starts in Aula Nordica. The afternoon offers, among other things, an introduction to the Swedish study system and an insight into Swedish culture. The Buddy Programme organises social activities, including a Campus Race and a City Challenge, so that students learn to navigate but also get to know each other. Activities within the Buddy Programme continue throughout the academic year.
