History

University College Lillebaelt was formed in 2008 by merging CVSU Fyn, CVU Fyn, CVU Jelling, Odense Socialpædagogiske Seminarium, Skårup Seminarium, Sygeplejeskolen i Vejle, Amtscentrene for Undervisning på Fyn og i Vejle and Den Sociale Højskole i Odense.[2][3] The college was named after Little Belt (Danish: Lillebælt), which is the strait between the Danish island Funen and the Jutland Peninsula. On 1 August 2018 the Business Academy Lillebaelt and University College Lillebaelt were merged and are now known as UCL University College.
