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

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.
