Hogeschool-Universiteit Brussel (HUBrussel or HUB) was a Dutch language university founded in 2007. HUBrussel was the result of a merger between Brussels-based colleges European University College Brussels, Vlekho, HONIM and Catholic University of Brussels (KUBrussel).[2][3]
HUBrussel offered degrees both at university and college level for the Flemish Community of Belgium. Degrees were offered both in Dutch and in English.
From 2013 on, university level degrees were organised by KU Leuven. Professional bachelor's degrees remained at HUB till HUB itself merged with the Katholieke Hogeschool Sint-Lieven in 2014 and became Odisee.
History
[edit]European University College Brussels was founded in 1925 as St. Aloysius University College of Economics (EHSAL), as a Dutch-speaking department of the Faculté universitaire Saint-Louis, nowadays Saint-Louis University, Brussels.
At the merger with VLEKHO, HONIM and KUBrussel in 2008, more than 9,000 students were attending classes in undergraduate, graduate and academic advanced programmes at seven faculties. HUBrussel had five faculties in the Brussels-Capital Region and one in the nearby town of Dilbeek, Flanders. There used to be one in Dubai, called European University College Brussels Dubai, but this has been closed.[4]
HUBrussel is associated with the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven.[5]
