Umeå is situated one hour's flight north of Stockholm with good, almost hourly flight connections. Stockholm itself has good flight connections with many European and overseas cities. The Management course will be held in the premises of the University Hospital.
The social programme will include a river rafting tour along an unregulated river, i.e. it has no dams. It is an exciting experience to bump through one of the rapids in rubber boats. Pre- and post course midnight golf tournaments will be arranged be fore and after the Course. In June northern Sweden has almost continuous light. It is therefore possible to play golf through the night.
