Harstad University College (Norwegian: Høgskolen i Harstad or HiH) was a høgskole, a Norwegian state institution of higher education, in the city of Harstad which is located in Harstad Municipality in Troms county, Norway.[1]

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.
