Centro Universitário de União da Vitória

The Centro Universitário de União da Vitória (UNIUV) is a higher-education institution based in União da Vitória, in the state of Paraná, Brazil. It is officially named Fundação Municipal Centro Universitário da Cidade de União da Vitória, created by Municipal Law No. 947/1974. Although it is a municipal public initiative, it is characterised as a private higher-education foundation, with its main campus in União da Vitória and an additional unit in the municipality of São Mateus do Sul. The institution offers undergraduate degrees and lato-sensu postgraduate courses, and its official website lists programmes such as Administration, Environmental Engineering, Civil Engineering and Dentistry, with the dentistry course offered on a full-time basis. UNIUV presents itself as a regional university centre serving the União da Vitória area and surrounding municipalities. Its website highlights student services such as the academic centre (Central do Acadêmico), calendars, payment slips, timetables, library services, distance education (EAD) and transparency portals. It also promotes its physical infrastructure for events, including an events room, the Cine Teatro Luz and a sports complex. A major development in the institution's recent history is its incorporation into UNESPAR, the Universidade Estadual do Paraná. The UNIUV website now carries the heading 'Incorporação UNIUV / UNESPAR' and news items stating 'Agora somos UNESPAR' ('We are now UNESPAR'), alongside announcements about the Vestibular Unespar 2027 and the opening of five new courses in União da Vitória. This indicates that the former UNIUV campus is being integrated into the state university system, even as the UNIUV brand and website continue to operate during the transition. The institution is therefore best understood as a municipal higher-education brand with a strong local identity in southern Paraná, currently in a process of incorporation into a larger state university structure. Its public, low-cost or free tuition positioning is reflected in website messaging such as 'Pública e Gratuita' ('Public and Free') in connection with the vestibular process.

Its official website lists programmes including Administration, Environmental Engineering, Civil Engineering and Dentistry, with the dentistry course offered on a full-time basis.

In the 2020s the institution entered a process of incorporation into UNESPAR, the Universidade Estadual do Paraná. The UNIUV website now displays the heading 'Incorporação UNIUV / UNESPAR' and news items stating 'Agora somos UNESPAR' ('We are now UNESPAR'), together with announcements about the Vestibular Unespar 2027 and the opening of five new courses in União da Vitória. This transition marks a significant shift from a municipal foundation to part of a state university system, while the UNIUV brand and website continue to operate during the incorporation process.
