Hogeschool-Universiteit Brussel (HUBrussel)
Institution Info
Hogeschool-Universiteit Brussel (HUB) is the result of a merger between three Brussels-based university colleges and one university. As such, it has become a multifaceted institute of higher education. Due to its hybrid nature, HUB is unique in the Flemish education landscape.
We offer both professional and academic programmes, mostly in Dutch. English degree programmes are taught at the faculty of Economics and Management and Social Work.
A tradition of excellence
With over 50 years of accumulated experience, HUB belongs to the leading educational institutes in Europe. HUB represents quality, professionally oriented education and academic training in Brussels, the political and economic heart of the European Union. HUB introduced major educational innovations in Flanders. By introducing the bachelor-Master structure in its curriculum, HUB joined the new European Higher Education Environment. Simultaneously, HUB enhanced its academic standards by joining the university association with Flanders’ oldest university (K.U.Leuven).
Quality of education
In 1996, HUB (then EHSAL) was the first Belgian business school to obtain the ISO 9001 certificate for its consistently high level of academic quality and excellent service to students. HUB’s internationally-oriented education is highly recognized in international audits. From the European Commission, HUB obtained the European University Charter. This enables the exchange of students and lecturers. HUB also uses the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). NVAO, the Accreditation Organisation of the Netherlands and Flanders, ensures the quality of HUB’s programmes by assessing and accrediting programmes. It so contributes to enhancing the quality.
Internationalisation as top priority
HUB’s mission statement emphasizes internationalization as one of its top priorities. HUB encourages, establishes and maintains academic and professional relations with people, institutes, organizations and research centres of different countries and cultural backgrounds. HUB has built up an impressive network of European partners, which enables student and faculty mobility, for example within the Life-Long Learning Programme.
Studying in the capital of Europe
HUB is located in several campuses in Brussels, surrounded by many European and international organisations. Brussels truly is ‘the capital of Europe’, hosting meetings and sessions of the European Commission, the European Parliament, NATO and many diplomatic missions and international organizations. In addition the many international firms and financial institutions that have their HQ in Brussels make the city one of the world’s biggest financial markets.
A cosmopolitan population
Due to the presence of those international organisations and companies, the population of Brussels is truly cosmopolitan. As each group brings its own culture and religion along, languages of all the corners of the world are spoken within a few square kilometers. Officially, Brussels has a bilingual status (Dutch-French), however English is fast becoming the lingua franca.

Accreditation
The Quality Assurance system of degree programmes typically consists of three parts: an internal part (self-evaluation, resulting in a self-evaluation report), an external part (organised by VLIR and VLHORA, Council of Flemish Universities and of Flemish Colleges respectively, consisting of a site visit by external experts and resulting in an assessment report) and the part where the formal decision is taken. The latter part of the Quality Assurance process is carried out by NVAO, the independent accreditation organisation set up jointly by Flanders and The Netherlands.
