Mittuniversitetet (in German about "Mitte-Universität"; official English name Mid Sweden University ) is a Swedish university with two locations in the northern Swedish cities of Sundsvall and Östersund .
She is a member of the University of the Arctic .
The university began operations on July 1, 1993 as a university under the name Mitthögskolan , after it had emerged from the merged universities in Sundsvall / Härnösand and Östersund, whose history dates back to the early 1970s. On July 1, 1995, the medical colleges in Sundsvall / Örnsköldsvik and Östersund were also incorporated into the university. On January 1, 2005, the Swedish government granted the institution the right to call itself a university.
The four locations have different academic profiles, which is reflected in the subjects traditionally offered on the respective campus. While the focus at the Härnösand site is on the humanities and teacher training, Sundsvall mainly offers technical and natural science courses. The Östersund campus offers study opportunities in the fields of tourism , health care , social work , environmental sciences and public administration . The specialist concentration described is less pronounced in the present than in the past. Further courses of study exist in the fields of information technology , media studies / journalism , business administration , sports science and languages .

The university is divided into two faculties for humanities and engineering and natural sciences. The facility employs 831 people, including 54 professors, and had sales of around 740 million kroner in 2007 .
