On 1 July 1993, Mid Sweden University College was formed through the merger of the University College of Sundsvall/Härnösand and the University College of Östersund. A little over a decade later, on 1 January 2005, Mid Sweden University was born.
As early as 1997, the first university application was submitted to the government. After hard work for many years, the government announced on 31 January 2003 that Mid Sweden University College would become a full university. Mid Sweden University started its activities on January 1, 2005.
In connection with Mid Sweden University's 20th anniversary, we collected a number of milestones and events from the year 1842, when the first teacher education started in Härnösand, until the year 2025.
