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 and university college level in Flanders, the Dutch-speaking (northern) region of Belgium. Building on eight decades of experience in business education, the institute provides a tradition of innovative, high-level, business-oriented education. Degrees are offered both in Dutch and in English.
