Umeå Institute of Technology

The Institute offers a wide range of study programmes, some of them not to be found in any other part of Sweden.

The faculty's traditionally strong position in natural sciences form a base on which new technology research is built.

At the end of the eighties and beginning of the nineties a series of two-year engineering programmes were started.

The goal has been to create centres where researchers from different fields are able to collaborate on common issues.

Interfaces naturally extend beyond Sweden's borders; there are for instance established collaborations with INRA, the National Institute for Agricultural Research in France, and Oxford University.
