The Erasmus Brussels University of Applied Sciences and Arts (Dutch: Erasmushogeschool Brussel) is an institute of higher education based in Brussels, Belgium.

Like the EU student exchange programme ERASMUS, EhB is named after the humanistic philosopher and author Desiderius Erasmus, who resided in Anderlecht, a municipality of Brussels.

History

[edit]

The Flemish Higher Education Decree of 13 July 1994 ushered in a large-scale merger operation and reorganisation of the educational system (disciplines and curricula). More than 160 institutions were reduced to 22 colleges. Erasmus University College Brussels came into being in 1995 from a merger of some ten colleges in and around Brussels.

Department and programmes

[edit]

EhB has around 4500 students and consists of six departments that offer bachelor and master of Art degree programmes in 20 study areas.
