VIVES University of Applied Sciences is a University College in West Flanders.[1] The name refers to the Spanish-Brussian humanist Juan Luis Vives. VIVES is the result of a merger between KATHO and KHBO in 2013.[2][3]

Founding

The university college was created by the fusion of the Katholieke Hogeschool Zuid-West-Vlaanderen and the Katholieke Hogeschool Brugge-Oostende. KATHO and KHBO signed a declaration of intent for cooperation on 23 June 2010. The fusion and the name were announced on 21 December 2012 and became effective in September 2013.[4] At the same time, the university courses were split off into KULAB, a new department of KU Leuven. With more than 16,000 students, VIVES is one of the largest university colleges in Flanders, together with HoGent (15,000), Artevelde Hogeschool (15,000) and UCLL (14,500).[5][6]
