UCL moving schedule 2018
It was announced on University College Lillebaelt website in May 2008, that through negotiating with University of Southern Denmark, UCL had agreed with the university that UCL could take over the buildings at Niels Bohrs Allé in Odense, where the university currently has its Faculty of Engineering (formerly Odense University College of Engineering) in 2016. According to UCL the purpose of this relocation is to establish a comprehensive multi-disciplinary campus with a good study environment for UCL students who wish to be educated as occupational therapists, physiotherapists, teachers, pedagogues, radiographers and nurses. The only study program which will not be moved from its original address is the bachelor program of Social Work which will remain at its current address on the former The School of Social Work in Odense (Now - The School of Social Work, Odense - University College, Little Belt) on Tolderlundsvej in the city center of Odense. On 1 August 2018 the Business Academy Lillebaelt and University College Lillebaelt were merged and are now known as UCL University College.[2]
