History Edit
Since January 2003, there was an administrative merger between the Van Hall Institute (Leeuwarden) and IAH Larenstein (Velp/Deventer). The merger of the educational institutions was completed in October 2005, and got the name Van Hall Larenstein. In September 2006, the Deventer location moved to Wageningen, as Van Hall Larenstein became part of Wageningen University & Research. Since 2012, Van Hall Larenstein has been independent again. The location in Wageningen moved to Velp in 2015. Van Hall Larenstein now has locations in Leeuwarden and Velp.
