The Marie Haps Faculty of Translation and Interpreting (TIMH, in French: Faculté de traduction et interprétation Marie Haps) is a faculty of Saint-Louis University, Brussels (UCLouvain) located on its own campus in Brussels' European Quarter, in the municipalities of Ixelles and the City of Brussels. It is Belgium's oldest translation school, founded in 1955, and the fifth faculty of Saint-Louis University, Brussels, which it fully merged with in 2015. History The École supérieure de jeunes filles (Higher School for Young Women) was founded by Marie Haps in 1919, with the help of Paulin Ladeuze, rector of the Catholic University of Louvain, and the support of Cardinal Mercier. The institution was established in the Hôtel Beernaert, at rue d'Arlon 11, on the border between Brussels and Ixelles. In 1932, the Rector of the University of Louvain awarded the school the prestigious status of Fifth faculty of the Alma Mater. When Marie Haps herself died in 1939, her daughter Simone Haps took over the management of the school, a position which she held until 1961. Simone pursued the development of the institution and with the establishment of the European institutions in the neighbourhood during the 1950s, and in expectation of the needs of Expo 58, she opened the country's first institute for translators and interpreters. During the 1960s, the Marie Haps Language Centre was opened. It became a co-educational school in 1963. The school's official name was changed to Institut libre Marie Haps, sous le patronage de l'Université catholique de Louvain (Marie Haps Free Institute, under the patronage of the Université catholique de Louvain), to which partenaire de la Haute école Léonard de Vinci (partner of Léonard de Vinci College) was added in 1997; in short: Institut libre Marie Haps (ILMH). With the reorganization of higher education in the French Community of Belgium in 1995, Marie Haps was merged into Haute École Léonard de Vinci. The Centre de Terminologie de Bruxelles, which studies and advises on terminology, has been based in the institution since 1978. In 2004, Belgium's French-speaking universities were grouped into three University Academies, with the long-term objective of merging into three large universities. The Catholic universities, including the University of Louvain and Saint-Louis University, Brussels, formed the Académie Louvain, with the aim of founding a single university, UCLouvain. In the short run, plans were made to merge a series of Brussels Catholic institutes of higher education, especially IHECS, ICHEC
