Succeeding in a year of study at university involves many challenges.To help you meet them, we support you in developing your disciplinary, methodological and human skills... with the support of numerous professionals.

For future students Preparatory coursesTo get your first year of study off to a good start, we offer preparatory courses in physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology and English during the last two weeks of August. Of these, physics and chemistry are compulsory, and you choose two other subjects from mathematics, biology and English. In addition to the four disciplines, three activities are organized:seminars on the methodology of university work;a presentation of the first-year English course;a guided tour of the university site, the Faculty and the library.Second- and third-year students will also show you around the campus, your Faculty and the extra-academic activities organized in Namur. Discover the preparatory course program For first-year students The main aids offered in biology favor non-lecture forms to encourage students' self-help:Classical "Springboard" sessions These are organized according to students' requests. Different points of material, poorly understood, will be patiently re-approached, in a different way to that used in the theoretical course and most often by different teachers.Fun "Springboard" sessions Sessions are also planned to fix knowledge through clever games in small groups, while stimulating emulation or a light "for butter" competition. Q&A sessions These are organized by teachers or assistants to push students to review the material more holistically and build their confidence for assessments.Exam simulations and collective corrections These exercises are organized for certain exam questions with the aim of familiarizing students with MCQ-type assessments.Interactive forums These question-and-answer forums, available on WebCampus and in writing, are accessible to all.Directed revisions After practical work, these sessions enable students to understand and memorize the live model, correct errors, reconsider failing portions of material, address cross-cutting issues... Math labsMath labs are times when students in block1 chemistry, biology, geology, geography, biomedical can work on their math lessons by asking for one-off help from an assistant present in the room, like a supervised study. These labs are scheduled at the beginning of the term in the timetable of the students concerned.All detailed information is available on the Virtual Student Office (VSO).

Universities and Hautes Écoles are real breeding grounds in terms of research and innovation: convinced of their mission to serve the community, they have created knowledge transfer advisors. ADRE's advisors are on hand to provide researchers with support in a number of areas.

Research and innovation are generally accompanied by contracts. The legal department is at your disposal to draft these contracts or review proposals. These contracts come into play at different stages of the research process and have different objectives, so much so that it is difficult to draw up an exhaustive list. You will find here a list of frequent contracts for which you can rely on the legal department, as well as the contact form to submit your request.

ADRE can help you find applications and partners, and assess the economic prospects of your inventions and innovations. From licensing or assignment of rights to market research and business plans, ADRE is with you every step of the way.

The valorization of a research project is a process that goes from the institution to society. The University of Namur collaborates with various partners to support developing projects.

Spin-offs are companies set up downstream of academic research to exploit the know-how and results of research. They make a concrete contribution to job creation and economic growth. To date, the University of Namur has created 22 spin-offs, 16 of which are still active. Some of them were created with the support of the FIRST Spin-off program of the SPW Research.

The Department of Biology, with its wealth of tenured professors, conducts cutting-edge international scientific research. This is divided between 5 research units addressing a variety of topics in cell and molecular biology, molecular microbiology, environmental and evolutionary biology, plant biology and didactics.

The Environmental and Evolutionary Biology Research Unit (URBE) operates as a collaborative ecosystem, bringing together skills to advance research on organisms and their dynamic interactions with the environment. Its vocation is to study aquatic organisms and their interactions with the environment. It combines comparative biology (several species studied) and integrative biology (several levels of biological integration).

The activities of the Unité de Méthodologie et de Didactique de la Biologie (URDB) revolve around two poles.

The research activities of the Department of Geography, carried out in both the North and South, contribute to the transition towards sustainable and resilient spaces in order to improve the well-being of populations in terms of health, food, natural resources, security, social relations and freedom of choice.

Understanding the earth to better manage it. The geologist's watchwords are: observe and describe, interpret and decide.
