University colleges in Denmark
The university colleges in Denmark were established as a result of a series of mergers of smaller educational centres in 2007. VIA is one of those university colleges. From January 2008, all medium higher education in the Central Region previously under CVU (Center for Higher Education), became organized as one unit under VIA. As a result of these mergers, VIA became the third largest educational institution following Copenhagen University and Aarhus University with approximately 2,000 employees and 20,000 students.
Nowadays, VIA University College offers vocational bachelor courses of the following types:
pedagogical, health professional, and technical-commercial. In addition, VIA also offers a two-year high school exam. Overall, VIA offers more than 50 higher educations in Danish and a number of courses in English. VIA also participates in various research and development projects. VIA is headquartered in Aarhus, but the activities are anchored on eight campuses spread across 39 locations throughout the region. VIA's annual turnover is 1.6 billion DKK.
Most of the educations, VIA University College operates, enroll students twice a year, that is in February and September. The statistics below encompass both enrollments. The number of students VIA University College can enroll is determined by the Ministry of education through among other an average of unemployment statistics. Thus, a local VIA University college institution might have its enrollment reduced if the unemployment rate within its area of operation is higher than the average and vice versa.
VIA is organised like most universities. At the very top there is a board of directors, which selects the rector. The rector heads the executive board together with the deans. There is one dean per faculty.
