Mid Sweden University

Mid Sweden University (MIUN) is a public university located in the middle of Sweden, right in the heart of Northern Europe, and has two campuses, one in Sundsvall and the other in Östersund. One of MIUN’s characteristics is its focus on e-learning and distance education, making higher education a possibility for more people especially in the rural part of northern Sweden.
