Master in Tourism, 120 credits

WELCOME TO MID SWEDEN UNIVERSITY

Hello!
A warm welcome to Master in Tourism, 120 credits and as a student at Mid Sweden University.

As Program Director for the Masters in Tourism I welcome you all to Campus Östersund, Mid-Sweden University. I realize it is often stressful moving to a new place and so, I wish you will settle in quickly and find everything you need. If you face any problems please do not hesitate to ask. The university does have resources to help students with a variety of questions.

You must arrive as early as possible in Östersund in order to settle in. Classes are taught in short (5-week blocks) and can be quite intense. This means you have to put a full-time effort into each consecutive class for each 5-week period. The first class KG022A (Tourism in a Changing World) begins on September 3rd and it is important that you attend this and each subsequent class.

Schedule
Four weeks before the beginning of the course you will get access to your schedule www.miun.se/schemasok. Please note that the timetable may be updated until the beginning of the course and even after that if something unforeseen happens.

Before you can begin your studies, there are three things you need to do
1. Get a login for the student portal (Swedish: Studentportalen)
If you are an international student and admitted to a campus-based program, you will receive your User ID upon arrival at Mid Sweden University. All international students who are admitted to a distance education program, will receive their User ID by email approximately one week before course start.

This is your most important tool during your studies at Mid Sweden University. Here, you will find information about courses, study material etc. This is also where you register for each course. All of this can be found at www.miun.se/admitted.

Please note:
If you have studied at Mid Sweden University before, you will keep the same student login and user id.

2. Read through the current course syllabus

In the course syllabus, there is information about the course literature and other important things about the course for both teachers and students.

3. Register for the course

You must register for all of the courses you want to take during the semester. You do this in the Student Portal by clicking on the link “My Studies”, and then “Register on course”. You can register no earlier than two working days before the beginning of the course. It is important that you register for each course.
