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 13,500 students, VIVES is one of the largest university colleges in Flanders, together with UCLL (14,500) and Artevelde Hogeschool (14.000).[5][6]
