VIA University College is the result of a merger between the Alpha Centre for Higher Education, Mid-West Centre for Higher Education, Vita Centre for Higher Education, University College Jutland and Vitus Bering Denmark.
During the last few years, it has been the policy of the Danish government to merger educational institutions together to gain both economies of scale and synergies in education. In anticipation of this development, 5 centres for higher education programmes (CVU) joined in VIA UC, not only to be the biggest university college in Denmark, but also to be the prime university college and set the standard for future developments in legislation.
