It was originally established on 28 October 1983 but was enlarged on 1 August 1994 as a result of the merging of three regional høgskoler. Harstad University College had about 1300 students and 120 employees in 2012.[2] Harstad University College was at that time organised in two departments, the Business Administration and Social Sciences Department, and the Health and Social Care Department.[3]
Department of Business Administration and Social Sciences consisted of two sections:
- Leadership, Management, and Organization
- Services
Department of Health and Social Care consisted of four sections:
- Social Education
- Nursing
- Child Welfare Education
- Continuing Education
End of separate existence
However, on 1 January 2016 the college was merged with the University of Tromsø and the location became one of that university's several regional campuses.
