HSL – Belgium

Sint-Lukas Brussels University College of Art and Design was founded in 1880. It evolved from the Neo-Gothic arts and crafts schools built in the second half of the 19th century by the Brothers of the Christian Schools, an international teaching order founded by John Baptiste de La Salle over 300 years ago. Architectural echoes of these Neo-Gothic roots can still be detected in the courtyard and in the central building of the college.

Today Sint-Lukas Brussels is an independent institution, which has deliberately chosen for contemporary innovative art and design practices and for high quality academic and professional education. The university college offers four Bachelor’s and two Master’s degree programmes. It also organises a Teacher training course and the Advanced Master program 'Transmedia'. Sint-Lukas Brussels is a diverse and creative community of 850 students and 150 faculty members.

Sint-Lukas Brussels is associated with the Catholic University of Leuven, which is Belgium’s largest university. This association called Association of Catholic University of Leuven enables Sint-Lukas to provide strong academic and research bound curricula and degrees necessary for advanced critical and creative thought.
