About our external businesses
The student union has three external businesses, Café Mitum, The Student Union House Origo and the Career Day Uniaden. These exist to make your study time as good as possible, read more about them below.
The Student Union runs a café, Mitum, located in the heart of the MIT-building. Mitum serves a daily lunch and is the obvious place for a cup of coffee between lectures. Take the opportunity to work voluntarily in Mitum. The voluntary heroes that work in Mitum get a good qualification and experience, and that they may have access to a number of privileges and activities. New friends and a lovely sense of community is just a bonus. Do you want to try working in Mitum? Contact cf@ntkumea.se.
The black painted building right next to IKSU is your dear Student Union Houise Origo. Origo is a natural meeting place for students on Campus. Weekdays you can study here, usin our wireless network. Tuesdays 17.00 – 20.00 and Fridays 15.00 – 17.30 we have EPP, efter-plugget-pub (after school pub), where you can eat nice food at a low cost. The nightclub is open Friday and Saturday 22.00 – 02.00. You are also welcome to work here; our entire staff are volunteering students working to make the student life in Umeå more fun.
Uniaden is a yearly career day and one of the biggest events at Umeå University. It is organized through a cooperation between NTK and HHUS (Student association at the Umeå School of Business and Economics), PLUM (Student association for human resources students) and UMSYS (student association for those who study system science or digital media production). Uniaden gives students the possibility to get an overview of the job market, and companies an opportunity to meet future employees and get an idea of the resources currently available at the university. It is not only a job fair but a great arrangement with preparatory events, guest lectures, discussions and talks, and many other activities. Uniaden provides a platform where students and companies can establish long-term and personal contacts, and allows you as a company to meet technologists, natural scientists, design students, economists, social scientists and human resource specialists.
