VID Specialized University has 6,000 students and 600 employees, making it Norway's second-largest private university college. VID is a subsidiary of the foundation Diakonhjemmet, an independent and non-profit diaconal institution within the state Church of Norway. VID was established in 2016 through a merger of Diakonhjemmet University College with several smaller colleges with a history dating back to 1843. Campus Diakonhjemmet, which is VID's headquarters and largest campus, is located in in Oslo next to Diakonhjemmet Hospital, also owned by Diakonhjemmet. It conducts research and offers studies at all levels (including doctoral level) in health and social sciences, theology and management. VID has around 50 study programmes. The traditional core activity is nurse education, which is still the largest study programme and carried out in cooperation with Diakonhjemmet Hospital and other hospitals. It also offers degrees at all level in social work disciplines. The college also offers the professional degree in theology (cand.theol.) that qualifies for the priesthood in the Church of Norway.
