Université libre de Bruxelles

Universities and Colleges

The Université libre de Bruxelles, known as ULB, is a French-speaking research university in Brussels, Belgium. It emerged from the 1969 split of the Free University of Brussels, which the lawyer and liberal politician Pierre-Théodore Verhaegen founded in 1834 to give Belgium a university independent of state and church, where academic freedom would prevail. Its La Plaine campus hosts the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Pharmacy, while the Erasmus campus houses the Erasmus Hospital, the Pôle Santé, the Faculty of Medicine, the School of Public Health and the Faculty of Motor Sciences. It also keeps a Museum of Medicine and a Museum of Human Anatomy and Embryology.
