Dalarna University's mission is to co-create education, training, and research in Dalarna and the world. Approximately 5,000 students study at Campus Falun or Campus Borlänge and approximately 9,500 of their students study online.
Education at the university takes place in close collaboration with the outside world and research. Dalarna University (Swedish: Dalarna University) is a public university (university) located in Falun and Borlange, two areas in the secluded Dalarna County, in Sweden.
Dalarna University is one of the newest universities in Sweden, founded in 1977. It is located in Dalarna, 200 km northwest of Stockholm, and takes its name from the city.
In Sweden, Dalarna University is known as a leader in the integration of new teaching methods in technology and education. Its international students like to immediately enjoy the fun of nature and outdoor adventure, and often comment on the unique experience provided by studying in a small city like this.
Dalarna University offers Sweden's only master's degree in solar technology (the first solar technology course in Europe).
They also offer master's degree programs in business, computer science, sustainable tourism, energy-efficient buildings, materials science, and economics.
Dalarna University is so different because of the concept of intimacy: the close connection between students and teachers, and you are always close to adventure. S
ince its establishment in 1977, Dalarna University has undergone rapid development and has now become a base for approximately 15,000 students with nearly 800 employees. Our two campuses-one in Falun and one in Borlänge-offer a wide range of educational opportunities.
The university strives to create an environment based on the equal value of individuals. Regardless of external factors, everyone should have the opportunity to receive higher education.
Promoting this fact is that they have developed a virtual campus to achieve flexible learning wherever you are and when you can learn.
They also provide open web-based learning forums and environments, and many of their resources are available 24 hours a day. With the help of digital technology, DU has created a sustainable global meeting place for personal development and educational opportunities.
In terms of research, the close cooperation of the university with the corporate world, including the public sector, means that DU’s research is current and relevant. Applied research ensures that high quality is maintained.
DU’s research profile involves researchers from multiple departments in Sweden and other countries, regions, as well as researchers from other universities.
Dalarna University is a small but dynamic university that welcomes diversity and innovation. It has approximately 750+ (full-time and part-time) employees and is one of the largest employers in Dalarna Province.
International Co-operation
Dalarna University collaborates with the outside world in several different ways, both in Dalarna, in the rest of Sweden, and internationally.
Through collaboration, real challenges in companies and other businesses become interesting and developing projects for our students and researchers.
It can be about everything from exchanging experiences, solving specific problems and challenges together, to developing the university's programs, and implementing major research projects through industry councils.
The activities that collaborate with us gain access to scientifically based knowledge and resources, at the same time as our researchers and students are offered the opportunity for valuable knowledge and experiences that our collaboration partners possess.
Collaboration, therefore, becomes something that strengthens and develops all parties involved.
Postgraduate education and Research
The university offers three doctoral programs where you as a doctoral student have the opportunity to develop in a creative and strong research environment.
Through research, DU seeks to contribute to a good society - a society that rests on a democratic foundation and that is socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable for current and future generations.

The selection of accommodation in Dalarna is rich and you can choose between living in a student room or a dormitory, sharing an apartment, or living by yourself. When you are looking for housing, there are several ways to go about it.
The most common is to stand in the housing queue at the active housing companies in the municipalities.

Even before you are accepted, you can, however, make a queue registration to collect queue points, which we recommend. We also recommend that you register for accommodation as soon as possible before you arrive, as they are limited spaces available.
When choosing your place of residence, please consider your chosen study program as different programs hold classes in different campuses, however, the distance between Borlänge and Falun is approximately 20 kilometers and ordinary buses connect them.

Many students also take part in off-campus activities such as sports. The university supports different sporting activities such as Volleyball, Badminton, Football, Basketball, Tennis, and lots more.
Playing sports is an efficient means of participating and engaging and DU promptly recognizes this. A good number of students participate in various sports, promoting a community experience and even fostering healthy competitions both on and off-campus. Sports are a brilliant way to develop new skills or talents or to better on an already existing one.
Dalarna County (county) borders Norway in the west and occupies a large area of land in central Sweden. It extends about 350 kilometers southeast from the remote and rugged terrain of Grövelsjön and Idre in the northwest, which means it is far away from the Stockholmers’ holiday.
At its core is the gleaming water of Lake Siljan, which looks like a mirror in the midsummer sun, surrounded by fabulous forests and rolling hills, dotted with perfect red huts that depict Sweden’s Life in the country. Dalarna is also the origin of the iconic painted Dalahäst, which is the center of Swedish folklore.
Falun is the county capital with a world heritage copper mine, and there are opportunities for outdoor activities throughout the year. The village of Tällberg must be stored in the painted horse outside Mora, in the village of Nusnäs.
