Abstract
Spatial decentralisation of tertiary education was among the most important processes contributing to the spread of tertiary education in Western Europę in the second half of the 20th century. The idea to establish new universities in areas deprived of tertiary education was seen as a democratisation tool for this level of education and for countries’ regional policies. It was hoped that the arrival of new universities in peripheral regions would improve access to tertiary education both in spatial and in social terms and will stimulate social development and economic growth. The case which has received most coverage in literaturę is the one of spatial decentralisation of tertiary education in Sweden, which began in 1970s. After more than 30 years sińce start of the Swedish tertiary education reform the actual outcomes of the changes can be assessed and this issue is addressed in the paper.References
