History

• The university's roots go back to Sint-Ignatius Handelshogeschool, or Saint-Ignatius College of Commerce, which was founded by the Jesuits of the Society of Jesus in Antwerp in 1852.安特卫普大学的历史可追溯至 1852 年由耶稣会士在安特卫普创办的圣依纳爵商学院。
• Founded in 1852, that college was one of the first European business schools to offer formal university degrees, at a time when commerce was not yet established as a university discipline in Europe, which makes the school one of the earliest degree-granting commercial institutions on the continent.该学院是欧洲最早提供正规大学学位的商学院之一，当时商业尚未在欧洲成为一门大学学科。
• Before the 1960s renaming, it had already opened a Faculty of Literature and Philosophy, which included the study of law, giving the future university an early foothold in the humanities.在 20 世纪 60 年代更名之前，学院已开设文学与哲学学院，其中包含法学，为日后的大学在人文领域打下早期基础。
• It also opened a Faculty of Political and Social Sciences, broadening its teaching beyond commerce, literature and law, and this faculty was already established well before the 2003 merger.学院还开设了政治与社会科学学院，使其教学扩展到商业、文学与法学之外，而该学院在 2003 年合并之前便早已设立。
• In the 1960s, when the Belgian government granted the institution university status, it was renamed Universitaire Faculteiten Sint-Ignatius Antwerpen (UFSIA).20 世纪 60 年代，比利时政府授予其大学地位，学校遂更名为安特卫普圣依纳爵大学学院（UFSIA）。
• In the early 1970s UFSIA entered a confederation with two public institutions, Rijksuniversitair Centrum Antwerpen (RUCA) and Universitaire Instelling Antwerpen (UIA).20 世纪 70 年代初，UFSIA 与两所公立机构——安特卫普国家大学中心（RUCA）与安特卫普大学机构（UIA）——组成联盟。
• RUCA, the Rijksuniversitair Centrum Antwerpen, was a state-run university centre in the city of Antwerp, and from the early 1970s it formed part of the confederation that later became one of the three partners of the 2003 merger.RUCA 即安特卫普国家大学中心，是安特卫普市一所国立大学中心，自 20 世纪 70 年代初起便是该联盟的一员，并在日后成为 2003 年合并的三方之一。
• UIA, the Universitaire Instelling Antwerpen, was the other public institution of the early 1970s confederation and likewise became part of the 2003 merger of the three institutions.UIA 即安特卫普大学机构，是该 20 世纪 70 年代初联盟中的另一所公立院校，同样构成三校 2003 年合并的一部分。
• In 2003 UFSIA, RUCA and UIA merged into the University of Antwerp, bringing a Jesuit-founded business school together with two public institutions.2003 年，UFSIA、RUCA 与 UIA 合并组建为安特卫普大学，将一所耶稣会创办的商学院与两所公立院校合而为一。
• Formed in the 2003 merger, the new university became the first explicitly pluralistic university in Belgium, a status emphasised in its founding profile.新大学在 2003 年的合并中组建而成，成为比利时第一所明确奉行多元主义的大学，这一地位在其建校定位中反复强调。
• It offers philosophical, ethical and spiritual discourse and openness towards religion and intercultural dialogue, reflecting its pluralistic character.该校倡导哲学、伦理与精神层面的讨论，并对宗教与跨文化对话保持开放，体现其多元主义特质。
• In the years after the 2003 merger it became the third largest university in Flanders, with about 20,000 students drawn from across Belgium and abroad.在 2003 年合并之后的数年里，该校成为法兰德斯第三大大学，在校生约 20,000 人，来自比利时各地与海外。
• In order to face the challenges posed by the internationalisation of European education and research, the university is part of the Antwerp University Association (AUHA).为应对欧洲教育与研究国际化带来的挑战，该校加入了安特卫普大学协会（AUHA）。
• The Catholic influence that the Jesuits had at UFSIA continues through the Saint Ignatius University Centre (UCSIA), Antwerp, founded in 2003.耶稣会士在 UFSIA 留下的天主教影响，经由 2003 年成立的安特卫普圣依纳爵大学中心（UCSIA）延续至今。
• The 2003 merger combined a confessional institution founded by the Jesuits with two public institutions, giving the university a distinctive mixed origin.2003 年的合并将一个由耶稣会士创办的教会院校与两所公立院校结合，使该校拥有独特的混合渊源。
• Its forerunner UFSIA remained a Catholic, Jesuit-inspired institution, while RUCA and UIA were public and secular bodies.该校的前身 UFSIA 始终保持天主教与耶稣会色彩，而 RUCA 与 UIA 则是公立、世俗的机构。
• In September 2020, during the coronavirus pandemic, the University of Antwerp chose to start the new academic year with stricter measures than those recommended by the government, ranking among the most cautious universities in the country.2020 年 9 月新冠疫情期间，安特卫普大学选择以比政府建议更严格的措施开启新学年，是比利时最为审慎的大学之一。
• Formally established only in 2003, the University of Antwerp is one of the youngest universities in Belgium, even though its oldest root dates from 1852.安特卫普大学正式成立于 2003 年，是比利时最年轻的大学之一，尽管其最早渊源可上溯至 1852 年。
