Know our history
On March 5th of 1976, the Centro Superior de Ciências Sociais de Vila Velha was inaugurated, marking the beginning of our educational journey. In subsequent years, we expanded our campus, and on March 1, 2001, Centro Universitário Vila Velha was born. This transformation was a crucial step in our pursuit of academic excellence.
On December 21th of 2011, Centro Universitário Vila Velha reached a significant milestone when it evolved into Universidade Vila Velha. From that moment forward, we proudly became the first and only private university in Espírito Santo.
Nowadays, Universidade Vila Velha (UVV) stands as a beacon of higher education in the state of Espírito Santo, situated in southeastern Brazil. Our presence spans four distinct campuses: The Main Campus, the Highline Building, the Bioprática Campus, and the EcoFarm. We take pride in offering a diverse array of programs across five broad fields: arts, business, commerce, information technology, and science. Our undergraduate curriculum comprises 50 courses, serving a vibrant community of 15,000 students.
Our graduate programs have achieved remarkable advancements, boasting 12 Stricto Sensu programs encompassing master’s and doctorate degrees in different areas. Additionally, we offer over 40 Lato Sensu programs. Our commitment to research is evident as students, from the undergraduate level onward, actively participate in diverse research initiatives.
At the heart of our mission lies the commitment to transform knowledge into innovation. Our unique approach combines teaching, research, and extension to craft innovative projects aimed at catalyzing societal transformation.
We have earned the distinction of being recognized as the top-ranked private university in Brazil, as validated by the Ministry of Education (MEC). Furthermore, our impact has resonated on the international stage, as we’ve secured positions in the renowned Times Higher Education and QS Rankings, underscoring our position among the world’s foremost higher education institutions.”
