How to Apply
Submit a complete application for admissions before February 1.
When the form to register interest opens, eligible students will receive an email with instructions. The email is sent to the email address you have provided through your account on University Admissions.
Only applicants with a Umeå University programme as priority 1 on University Admissions, as of their application deadline, or second year master students at Umeå University (i.e. students who are currently in their first year of their Master's studies) are eligible to register interest for a scholarship.
As a new student, your invitation to register interest for a scholarship is connected to your priority 1 programme. If you do not receive a place on your first-hand choice, but are admitted to another programme at Umeå University, it is not possible to register interest for a scholarship for the other programme instead.
If you are an eligible student and have not received an email after the dates listed above to register interest, contact university at tuitionfees@umu.se.
