The Erasmus University College Brussels (Erasmushogeschool Brussel, EhB) supports e-learning through its LMS Dokeos.


The institution’s main office is in Brussels, Belgium. The 7 other campuses are also located in the Brussels area. Named after the humanistic philosopher and author, Desiderius Erasmus, the Erasmus University College has a mission with three pillars that also characterise Erasmus’ work: genuine openness of mind, tolerance and an international perspective.


Erasmus University College Brussels has more than 4500 students and consists of six departments with about 20 areas of study, some of which offer 3-, 4- and 5-year degree programmes It also boasts a student-oriented approach through intense tutoring. All departments are involved in the restructuring processes of educational innovation. ICT-based teaching and learning, modularisation and problem-based teaching are some of these on-going processes. Erasmus University College Brussels uses the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS), which facilitates both curriculum comparison and student exchanges. The latter will be further improved by the development of modules using English as the language of instruction.

More details

Together with the University of Brussels, in 2003 Erasmus University College Brussels created the Brussels University Association to bring their master’s degree programmes in line with the academic requirements of the Bologna declaration, i.e. that colleges have to initiate cooperation with a university. There are five such associations in Flanders, each consisting of one university (Brussels, Ghent, Antwerp, Leuven and Hasselt) and one or more colleges. The Brussels University Association has 13,500, 3500 staff, 55 bachelor’s, 107 master’s and 11 post-graduate programmes.
