These two subjects also provide an opportunity to review a few mathematical tools (trigonometry and derivative of a function) essential for tackling a physics course.

The University of Namur has implemented several initiatives on its campus.

The research landscape at UNamur currently comprises 11 institutes. They bring together and cross-fertilize diverse skills around a global theme. This approach encourages cross-disciplinary collaboration and original approaches in both research and teaching.

The profile of the junior researcher (First Stage Researcher - R1) includes doctoral candidates as well as doctoral students according to the classification set up by EURAXESS.You will find all the useful information about your status here.

The profile of the senior researcher includes researchers who have established a level of independence (R3) and leading researchers, who direct their research in their field (R4).This classification EURAXESS aims to communicate the different characteristics of researchers over the course of their career.

You will find details of the various community service activities on the pages of the departments, laboratories and research units, but here are the major service orientations of the Faculty of Medicine.

The Faculty of Medicine comprises 4 departments. It is managed by various advisory and decision-making bodies. It has services common to the entire faculty.

Succeeding in a year of study at university involves many challenges.To help you meet them, UNamur accompanies you in the development of your disciplinary, methodological, human skills... with the support of many professionals.

Preparatory courses Discover university teaching and life at UNamur while revising the subjects essential to your future course.To get your first year of study off to a good start, UNamur is offering a program of preparatory courses tailored to the university course of your choice during the last two weeks of August.Several modules are on offer: methodology of academic work; producing and managing information in communication and politics; Dutch; English.These preparatory courses enable you to:revisit the knowledge acquired in high school; perfect your working methods; meet assistants and professors in a more informal way before the start of the school year; create your first links with other students. Discover the preparatory course program Do you have what it takes? Test your knowledge and skills with "Passeports pour le bac".At the start of your first year, "Passeports pour le bac" allow you to compare your achievements with the expectations of your teachers. Depending on your results, the Faculty will offer you reinforcement sessions. In this way, you can fill in any gaps in your knowledge and help yourself succeed. The results of these tests are not taken into account in your end-of-year assessment. Are your methods appropriate? To succeed in your first year, you need effective strategies.University work methodology sessions are organized to familiarize you with learning techniques such as:taking clear and comprehensive notes;summarizing and synthesizing subjects;understanding subjects in depth;memorizing large amounts of information;managing your time during class and blockade periods;organizing your work;anticipating teachers' requirements.In addition, the cellule interfacultaire d'appui pédagogique offers individual follow-up. Throughout the year, an advisor is on hand to review your study methods and techniques and help you improve them. And if you run into difficulties? The Faculty offers remediation sessions, duty hours and other services between exam sessions.RemediationRemediation sessions are organized in small groups; they enable you to review the subjects taught in depth and prepare effectively for exams. The modalities of these sessions are specific to each course and are specified by the teachers.PermanencesTeachers or assistants regularly organize group question-and-answer sessions. Outside these sessions, they can also meet with you by appointment.Between exam sessionsAfter the January and June assessments, you have the opportunity to consult your exam papers, attend a marking session, obtain further explanations, correct exercises done at home, etc.All these activities are coordinated by the Faculty's Didactic Unit, which acts as an interface between students and teachers. How can you prepare for the exams? Studying regularly, acquiring good methods, but also knowing the requirements of teachers and their way of questioning.In the first year, formative assessments are organized at the end of October in certain subjects. These tests are not included in the grades awarded at the end of the year. They are just a tool to help you assess your teachers' standards and the effectiveness of your methodology. You can discuss your results with the teachers or the head of the Didactic Unit and, if necessary, contact the Cellule Interfacultaire d'Appui Pédagogique to improve your working methods.Beyond the first year, you should adapt your efforts more effectively to the nature and importance of each subject in the program. Exam organization January, June and, if necessary, August... three sessions to prove your mastery of the subjects.In January, you sit the exams covering the 1st term courses. If you fail, you can retake the exam in June and/or August. Three chances to succeed, but only in the first bachelor's year. From the second bachelor's year onwards, any exam failed in the January or June session is automatically carried over to the August session.
