If you wish to use the online-map here used go to here

These maps gives you the easiest route to the university.

A overview.

That is: if you come from the south; go straight through town, following the really nice and wide road.
If comming from Luleå, well then you do not have to go through the town, see the map below.
By plane? Well, once you get to the airport, in Umeå I presume, simply use the special bus-tour ("Flygbussen") that passes by the university.



The last bit on the road.

Well, I've found the campus. But where's the registration?

The registration is in the building "Samhällsvetarhuset".
