Hogeschool-Universiteit Brussel (HUBrussel or HUB) is a European university which was founded in 2007. The HUBrussel is the result of the merger between Brussels-based colleges European University College Brussels, Vlekho, HONIM and the Catholic University of Brussels (KUBrussel).
HUBrussel offers degrees both on university (KULeuven degrees) and university college level in Flanders, the Dutch-speaking (northern) region of Belgium. Degrees are offered both in Dutch and in English.
