As from 1st January 2008 all Danish medium-cycle higher education institutions were re-organized into eight new University Colleges. University College South (former CVU Sønderjylland and Kolding College of Social Education), was one of them.

UC South states that “All (Bachelor Study) programmes consist of theoretical studies and periods of practice. Most of the studies are equally offered as blended learning, e.g. a mix of distance learning and seminars. The language of instruction is Danish.

This HEI also offers net-based learning for three courses, in which students can “mainly” work from home: they’re expected to attend eight two-day seminars a year. This distance learning is supported by Blackboard.
