Welcome new student!

We welcome you to Mid Sweden University and to the heart of Scandinavia!

Registration and Introduction activities

The autumn term 2010 starts Monday August 30, but there will be introduction activities and registration the week before. We know that the first couple of days as an International student can be confusing which is why we offer, during the first weeks, some orientation activities that will help you get settled in. Registration will take place at the department at which you are going to study. Please plan your trip in such a way that you will be able to participate in this meeting. Details regarding the introduction activities will be published at www.miun.se/introductiondays
