VIVES University College Information

Design your future From September 2013 onwards, KATHO and KHBO have become VIVES, as a result of the cooperation between KATHO, with campuses in Kortrijk, Roeselare, Tielt, Torhout and KHBO, with campuses in Brugge and Oostende. At this moment with approximately 13,000 students, VIVES is the biggest university college in Flanders. VIVES has chosen a new baseline: "Design your future". Our core business is to ensure higher education for students at bachelor level (industrial sciences, agro-biotechnology, business studies, teacher training, nursing and midwifery, social sciences) with bridges to master degrees. We work closely together with the very export-oriented local and regional “enterprises” in the broadest sense. This includes businesses in the agro-industry, hospitals with an interregional role, training centres for primary and secondary schools attended by children and pupils from diverse socio-economic and ethnic backgrounds, centres for social guidance and counselling including especially those with the emphasis on working with migrants.
