Umeå School of Architecture



Umeå School of Architecture (abbreviated UMA) was founded in 2009 as the fourth academic school in Sweden to provide a professional degree in architecture. It is part of Umeå University.

The five-year architectural programme started in the fall of 2009. Master's degree programs started in the autumn of 2010. All education is in English with both Swedish and foreign educators.

After a year at provisional premises in central Umeå, in 2010 the school moved to a new building designed by Danish architect firm Henning Larsen Architects at the same campus as the Umeå Institute of Design and the Umeå Academy of Fine Arts at the Umeå Arts Campus.

Programmes
The School offers a five-year programme in Architecture. Students with an undergraduate qualification from another institution can join the programme in year four and earn a Master's degree in Architecture and Urban Design.
