About the organization
At VID, we offer education and research in areas such as health and social sciences, social studies, management, diakonia, and theology. With around 60 study programmes available at the bachelor, master, and PhD levels, VID is a values-oriented Specialized University rooted in a church tradition, aspiring to become a university by 2028.
Our history
VID Specialized University was established in 2016 as a result of a merger of several colleges with historical roots dating back to 1843. This makes VID Norway's oldest private higher education institution.
