The college's buildings are shared with Saint-Louis University and are located on both sides of the Rue d'Arlon, in front of the European Parliament, in the municipality of Ixelles and the City of Brussels.
Courses are provided in psychology, audiology and speech therapy. A degree course in translation and interpreting was established in 1955,[1] but in 2015 the Bachelor programme was transferred to the newly established Marie Haps Faculty of Translation and Interpreting at Saint-Louis University, Brussels, while staying on the same campus in the Rue d'Arlon. The Master's degrees of translation and of interpreting were moved to Louvain-la-Neuve, in the newly founded Louvain School of Translation and Interpreting at the University of Louvain (UCLouvain).[2]
