Making student life more fun!
We want your time as a student to be as fun and exciting as possible. We have three study-social committees that organize parties, competitions, sports activities, and many other fun events. We also support members who want to create their own social events by offering the possibility to apply for funding for such activities.

Social activities for students
The Umeå Medical Student Union has three student social committees that do their best to make your time as a student even more enjoyable.
Äskningar - Apply for funding
Submitting a funding request means applying for financial support from the Umeå Medical Students’ Association (UMS) to partially cover the costs of an event that benefits the union’s members. All members of UMS can apply for funding.
What can you apply for funding for?
You can apply for funding for different types of events where students from different semesters participate. For the introduction period (mottagningen), you can apply for funding if you are part of the programmes offered by UMS and the university.
Read the student union’s policy for student social funding applications.

Klädkoder
Sittningar och baler är ytterst trevliga studentikosa sammanhang som vi varmt rekommenderar dig att delta på. Vid dessa tillfällen råder oftast en klädkod varför vi har samlat information här nedan om de olika klädkoderna. Under sittningen kommer det att bjudas på festlig stämning och god mat, men i akademiska sammanhang finns det regler att följa, allt för att bidra till den unika studentlivs-känslan. Även om du vill imponera med din klädsel, så vill du inte dra till dig ögon för att du har missförstått reglerna. Så läs på här nedan så får du förutsättningarna att ha en fantastisk afton och vara exemplariskt klädd för kvällen. Klädkoderna är skrivna i rangordningen minst formell till mest formell.
