Hogeschool-Universiteit Brussel (HUBrussel or HUB) was a European 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 on university and university college level in Flanders, the Dutch-speaking (northern) region of Belgium. Degrees were offered both in Dutch and in English.
From 2013 on, university level degrees were organised by KU Leuven, Professional Bachelor degrees remained at HUB till HUB itself merged with the Katholieke Hogeschool Sint-Lieven in 2014 and became Odisee.
