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. The college was named after Little Belt, 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.

Campuses

UCL University College has five campuses in the Southern Denmark Region. Currently, it has branches in Vejle, Odense, Jelling, Svendborg, and Fredericia. The headquarters is located in Odense. In May 2008 UCL agreed with the University of Southern Denmark to take over the university's site at Niels Bohrs Allé in Odense in 2016 to consolidate six separate sites in Odense. The buildings had been used by the former Odense University College of Engineering and then the university's Faculty of Engineering.
