Helping you succeed in medicine
Preparatory courses
From the beginning of November, the University of Namur is offering preparatory courses for the medical entrance exam.These courses are devoted to the revision of the four scientific subjects (mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology), and a preparation for the "Communication and critical analysis of information" section. These courses are also designed to teach you to master the specific techniques of this type of MCQ (multiple-choice questionnaire)-based test. Practically, in each discipline, the program offers many opportunities to practice this type of question, and a module is devoted to how to prepare for and answer MCQs. This is a non-obligatory aid that also requires a personal investment to prepare you for the competition. Two sessions are offered throughout the year.

Medical studies
The fight against disease is both a science and an art. Knowledge of human beings, pathologies and medicines is the key to fighting disease. But the essence of the medical art is practiced in contact with patients, who are looking for a doctor who is rigorous, with solid knowledge and sound reasoning, but who is also deeply warm and human.
