The key thing from a student point of view is that:
- The course will be given in English
- Tuition will be free, although you must cover your own expenses travel + accommodation) for attending (low-price student accomodation has been reserved for successful applicants)
The course also contains an introduction to snow and ice-related phenomena. The course is a distance course with a gathering 7-10 January in the exotic town of Kiruna, which lies in the north of Sweden, above the Arctic Circle. The town is home to the Swedish Institute of Space Physics, the Swedish Space Corporation Esrange, a site for launching rockets and balloons, Spaceport Sweden and the famous Ice Hotel.
Prerequisites are that students should satisfy the general requirements for eligibility for university studies at Umeå University and have a physics major at upper secondary school level or similar qualifications. For more information see www.irf.se/link/winter_course.
