For future students Preparatory coursesTo get your first year of study off to a good start, the University of Namur is offering preparatory courses in mathematics and physics during the last two weeks of August. These courses, focusing on the basic concepts covered in secondary education, coverin mathematics: algebra and logic, analysis, complex numbers, trigonometry and geometry;in physics: vector theory, mechanics and electricityA seminar on university work methodology is also offered, to quickly familiarize you with the new learning context and develop new, effective study techniques. Finally, students welcome you to a meeting organized by the mathematics circle. Discover the preparatory course program For first-year students Math workshopsMath workshops are for Block 1 math and physics students. These optional workshops are scheduled at the beginning of each term in the students' timetable, and take place for 2 hours a week throughout the academic year. During these workshops, students can either work on their maths lessons with the help of an assistant present in the room, or be offered activities to help them better understand their maths lessons (illustrating a concept, solving an exercise in detail, working on a demonstration, correcting tests and exams, etc.). Students can suggest topics for the workshops via a forum on the WebCampus platform. The Workshop schedule is announced week by week, with an indication of the formula proposed (answers to personal questions or activity on a defined topic).Physics and chemistry workshopsThis scheme is not just for students with difficulties: it is aimed at all Block 1 students in chemical, physical and mathematical sciences. They have a very specific objective: to teach you to "think better in physics". The aim is to introduce you to the communication codes used in the academic world. For example, to better perceive the expectations of teachers in charge of courses so as to respond to them more adequately during written exams, etc.All detailed information is available on the Virtual Student Office (BVE).
