Background
In 2023, the university had 13,936 students, with 10,096 of them studying via distance education to some extent.[2] The campuses are located in Falun, the administrative capital of the province, and in the neighbouring town of Borlänge.
Dalarna University is deemed qualified by the Swedish National Agency for Higher Education to award Phd degrees in Microdata Analysis, Health and Welfare with Focus on Evidence-Based Practice, Educational Work and most recent Resource-Efficient Built Environments.
Research in Complex Systems and Microdata Analysis at Borlänge campus is carried out in collaboration with business and industry, and increases the competitiveness for trade, IT, transport and tourism in the region. Research in this subject area accounts for some 35 million SEK at the university. The field has some 50 employed researchers and teachers at the Borlänge campus and on top of that a further 30 doctoral students who are able to complete their education at Dalarna University.
Locus student accommodation
The student accommodation area Locus is located in Tjärna Ängar, a district in Borlänge designated by Swedish police as a vulnerable area, a socially deprived area with a higher crime rate. This makes life insecure for in particular female students who avoid walking alone at night due to persistent harassment.[3] Therefore, the student union recommends relocating the campus to Falun.[4][5]
Organisation
Dalarna University was organised into five schools that conduct our research and deliver education in close collaboration with external business and industry, the public sector and society at large.[6]
- School of Teacher Education
- School of Language, Literatures and Learning
- School of Culture and Society
- School of Information and Engineering
