We are committed to co-creating self-formation, education and research both locally and globally. Students can study on our two campuses in Borlänge and Falun, as well as online. Our programmes and courses have strong ties to both research and collaboration with external parties.

Dalarna University is a higher education institution that is regulated by government legislation. The Vice-Chancellor is the head of the university, and its highest decision-making body is the University Governing Board.

We aim to promote an environment founded on the equal value of the individual. Everyone shall have access to higher education regardless of external factors. One facilitator of this is the fact we have developed our virtual campus to allow for flexible studies wherever you live and whenever you can study. We offer open-learning forums and environments that are web-based, with many of our resources being accessible 24 hours a day. Using digital technology, we have created sustainable, global meeting places that allow for personal development and educational opportunities.
