Umeå University

Umeå University offers a wide range of courses and study programmes highly ranked in international comparison. Umeå is also home to world-leading research in many academic fields. Our unified campus encourages academic meetings, an exchange of ideas and interdisciplinary co-operation. The cohesive environment enables a strong sense of community and a dynamic and open culture in which we rejoice in the success of others. We call it the Umeå University spirit. Umeå University is also the site of the pioneering discovery of the CRISPR-Cas9 genetic scissors – a revolution in genetic engineering that was awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
