Hello!
A warm welcome to Ecotechnology, 180 credits and as a student at Mid Sweden University.

During calendar week 38, we will make an excursion to the Bydalsfjällen so make sure that you start to plan for being away from home, Monday to Friday that week. More practical information about that trip will be provided during the first course week.

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

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.
