Dalarna University College (Plantilya:Lang-sv) is a public university (högskola) located in Falun and Borlänge, in Dalarna County, Sweden,[3] about 200 km north-west of Stockholm.
The university has 5 555 FTE (full-time equivalent) students (or 14 109 individual students).[1]
History[usba | usba ang wikitext]
Dalarna University has its roots in the 1822 establishment of Bergsskolan in Falun, the first educational institution for engineering in Sweden.[4] In 1864, the school pastor in the Dalarna community of Stora Tuna started what may have been Sweden’s first facility for the training of early-year school teachers[4]. Thirty years later in 1894, a training facility for nurses opened in the region[4].
A natural continuation of these developments was the much later establishment in 1977 of the university under the name Högskolan i Falun/Borlänge, which came as a result of government reforms to higher education (Högskolereformen ) in Sweden. On January 1, 1996, the government decreed that the university henceforth be called Högskolan Dalarna.

Campus[usba | usba ang wikitext]
The university currently has campus in two different locations, in Falun and Borlänge, about 20 km apart.
In 1982, the university moved to the premises of the Swedish Transport Administration (Trafikverket) in Borlänge.
In 1991/1992, the university moved into new premises in both Borlänge and Falun. In 1994, Vårdhögskolan (the nursing college) moved into the university’s Falun premises and by the year 2000, nursing programmes were under the authority of the university.
In 2014, the new university library opened at Campus Falun and that same year was awarded the prize for the world’s best university building (Dalarna media Library by ADEPT ) at the World Architecture Festival held in Singapore.[5]
In October 2019, the decision was made by the University Governing Board to move Campus Borlänge from its present location to central Borlänge and the building known as Liljanhuset.
The campus in Falun is located next to the sports complex Lugnet, site of skiing competitions and other sporting events.

Student housing is available off campus in both Falun and Borlänge. The main student accommodation in Falun is called "Britsen", and in Borlänge "Tjärna ängar".[6] Both are owned by the local municipality, and are located in housing projects together with regular apartments, within walking distance from both the campus and the city centre, in each city.
