The Work Unit in Örnsköldsvik is Given Campus Status | 1999 |
During 1999-2007 Örnsköldsvik received the status of campus and Mid Sweden University was described as having four campuses. Aside from the nursing college activities, a work unit had existed in Örnsköldsvik ever since 1987.
Apart from the nursing programme, Mid Sweden University offered programmes and courses in technology and economics in Örnsköldsvik, such as the service technician and production accountant programmes, as well as the ones in digital media technology, which had strong connections with the research in that field. Around the turn of the century, there were around 500 students studying in Örnsköldsvik.
