Nord University[1] is a Norwegian state university, which was established by the King-in-Council on 9 October 2015. It is a merger of the former University of Nordland, Nesna University College and Nord-Trøndelag University College, and becomes operational on 1 January 2016.[2] The institution's central management and administration is based in Bodø, with other study locations in Vesterålen, Mo i Rana, Nesna, Sandnessjøen Levanger, Steinkjer, Namsos and Stjørdal.
Nord University has approximately 1,200 employees and 12,000 students.[3]
The institution's Norwegian name is Nord universitet, although the grammatically correct Norwegian spelling would be Norduniversitetet. The spelling was criticized by linguists such as Sylfest Lomheim and Finn-Erik Vinje.[4][5]
