Help to succeed in Computer Science
Preparatory courses
Discover university education and life at UNamur while revising the subjects essential for your future training.To get your first year of study off to a good start, UNamur is offering preparatory courses in IT, mathematics, languages and university work methodology during the last two weeks of August.Two programs are on offer:in the morning: computer science, mathematics and university work methodology;in the afternoon: languages (English and/or Dutch).

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 what you've learned with what your teachers expect. Reinforcement and remediation sessions are offered by the Faculty. In this way, you can fill in any gaps in your knowledge and help yourself to succeed. The results 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.Working methods sessions are organized to familiarize you with university learning techniques:taking clear, comprehensive notes;summarizing and synthesizing material;understanding material in depth;memorizing large amounts of information;managing your time during class and blockade periods;organizing your work;anticipating teachers' requirements.In addition, if you encounter difficulties in your study method, the cellule interfacultaire d'appui pédagogique offers you individual follow-up. The Faculty's pedagogical coordinator can also meet with you throughout the year to review your study methods and techniques and help you improve them.
And if you run into difficulties?
UNamur offers you remediation sessions.The exercise sessions organized in small groups make it easier for you to assimilate the subjects. You are regularly quizzed during these sessions, enabling you to assess the quality of your study and remedy any weaknesses in good time through remediation sessions.Remediation takes the form of different activities: question-and-answer sessions, test or exam corrections, group work corrections...Thanks to the tutoring scheme, you can be sponsored by a student enrolled in a higher year. At "Info-Meet" sessions, sponsors share their experiences, tips and tricks, and answer your questions to ensure that your first year of study goes as smoothly as possible.
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 3 or 4 subjects. These are known as "mid-semester tests". You will be given the papers, corrected and commented on.These tests do not play a part in the marks awarded at the end of the year. They are merely a training tool to help you appreciate the level of your teachers' requirements and judge the effectiveness of your work.Furthermore, for first-year students, the Faculty organizes two "Info-Methodo" sessions in the middle of the term to help you unpack your teachers' requirements and expectations for the exams.Beyond the first year, you adapt your effort more effectively to the nature and importance of each subject on the syllabus. As a result, you no longer benefit from regular questioning.
Exam organization
January, June and, if necessary, August... three sessions to prove your mastery of the subjects.In January, you sit the exams on the 1st term courses. If you fail, you can retake the relevant exam in June and/or August. Three chances to succeed, but only in your first year as a bachelor. The Faculty organizes specific remediation sessions for the exams on offer.From the second year onwards, any exam failed in the January or June session is automatically carried over to the August session.

Erasmus+ funding
Erasmus+ teaching missions
In addition to learner mobility, the Erasmus+ program promotes teaching assignments for faculty members at higher education institutions. UNamur professors can thus carry out teaching assignments in a partner university, with which UNamur has concluded a bilateral exchange agreement.Thanks to this action, it is possible, among other things:To contribute to the strengthening of bilateral relations between UNamur and the partner university;To develop innovative pedagogical approaches;To exchange best practices;To acquire new skills and experience at both personal and professional levels.Eligible for this type of assignment are members of UNamur's teaching staff on the institution's payroll. This does not include temporary and freelance staff (APH) hired by UNamur.Criteria:The teaching assignment must be carried out in one of UNamur's partner institutions in Europe and, to a lesser extent, as the funding available is fairly limited, outside the EU or in an institution in the Flemish community, provided that a bilateral "Erasmus"-type agreement providing for staff mobility exists ;The assignment must involve a minimum of 8 hours of teaching per week (or for any stay of less than a week) and the hours of teaching given must be an integral part of a degree course at the host institution.The assignment must last a minimum of 2 days.The course program must be the subject of a teaching agreement between the teacher and the sending and host partner institutionsIt is also possible to combine a training stay (linked to research) with a teaching activity. In this case, the compulsory number of teaching hours is 4 (instead of 8).Caution: Erasmus+ funding cannot be requested for participation in conferences. For this type of activity, other sources of funding are available.
Erasmus+ training missions
The Erasmus+ program also provides funding to enable staff members at higher education institutions to undergo training at a university, company or other public or private organization in Europe and, to a lesser extent, outside the EU.This type of assignment enables the staff members concerned:To acquire knowledge or know-how based on experience and good practice elsewhere;To acquire new skills useful in the work carried out or with a view to further professional development;To create new links, particularly with new partners or companies;In the context of assignments carried out at partner institutions, to contribute to the strengthening of already existing collaborative links.Training missions can take a variety of forms: short periods of secondment, job shadowing visits, study visits, workshops, etc.Criteria:The mission must have a duration of at least 2 days.The training activities, as well as the expected results, must be described in detail in a training agreement drawn up between the staff member and the host institution and signed by the UNamur staff member's line manager.The staff member carrying out the training mission undertakes to share his or her experience with other members of the institution (close colleagues, colleagues from other entities, students, external audiences, etc.).Financial supportFinancial support granted via the Erasmus+ program is calculated on a flat-rate basis and provides for a travel package and per diem.The contribution towards travel expenses is based on the one-way distance calculated via the calculation tool of the European Commission.The contribution towards living expenses is based on the cost-of-living indices taken into account by the European Commission.
Contribution to subsistence costs - Staff OUT
Administrative procedureFunding applications can be submitted at any time to the International Relations Department, 3 months minimum months before the presumed start date of the assignment.For Erasmus+ teaching or training assignments lasting a maximum of 5 days of activity to an EU destination or to a third country associated with the Erasmus program, funding is in principle granted automatically and immediately, within the limit of the available annual Erasmus budget. For missions to Flanders or a third country not associated with the Erasmus program, the staff member must contact the SRI well in advance of the mission to check whether it is eligible and whether funds are available.
