More information How can you prepare for writing an academic paper? At the start of the second term, several writing workshops are organized.

Each session is given in small groups. How can you prepare for the exams? Study regularly, acquire good methods, but also get to know the teachers' requirements and their way of questioning.In the first year, formative assessments are organized at the beginning of November in certain subjects. Teachers correct your papers, comment on them and organize group or individual correction sessions with assistants. These tests do not play a part in the marks awarded at the end of the year. They are merely a training tool, enabling you to appreciate the high standards set by your teachers, and to judge the effectiveness of your work and your ability to handle an examination situation.As soon as you start your studies, you will also benefit from specific preparation for oral examinations.After the first year, you will 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, other than as part of the exercises.

The main mission of the Clinical Pharmacology and Toxicology Research Unit (URPC) is to conduct studies and research aimed at evaluating the efficacy, safety and clinical impact of drugs, treatments and medical interventions. It brings together players from different departments of the Faculty of Medicine working on similar themes.

One of the major concerns with the disease caused by Covid-19 is its severe course, which causes many problems that can lead to hospital overload. Early detection of whether or not a person is at risk of developing a severe form of the disease is therefore crucial to optimise patient care and hospital resource management. This is one of the objectives of the study carried out by QUALIblood, a UNamur spin-off, in collaboration with the Department of Pharmacy and many other industrial and hospital partners. Exploration of a cutting-edge technology at the service of health.

Two researchers from the Department of Pharmacy initiated the project: Romain Siriez and Constant Gillot. Under the supervision of Professor Jean-Michel Dogné, they imagined creating a real pharmacy, which would be the ideal place to practice innovative pedagogy, essential for the training of master's students during specialized pharmacotherapy.

As the largest and heaviest organ in the human body, the skin is the focus of Professor Yves Poumay's research. For nearly 30 years, within the Cells and Tissues laboratory (LabCeTi), he has been developing in vitro epidermal models that reproduce skin pathologies to better understand and treat them. A pioneering approach that offers alternatives to animal experimentation! On the eve of an international congress devoted to dermatology research organised at UNamur (see below), he talks about the importance of melanoma screening and details the latest advances in dermatology made in his laboratory.

Gnoari Tankoano and Mathieu Traore, PhD students from Bukina Faso, have just spent three months at the Faculty of Law of UNamur. Earlier, Professor René Robaye from Namur went to Ouagadougou, capital of Burkina Faso, for a short academic stay. These exchanges were made possible thanks to the Erasmus + International Credit Mobility programme and the UNamur International Relations Department. Here is a look back at this enriching experience, both on an academic and human level.

This is a first in terms of pedagogical approach: to have all the students and teachers of the Faculty of law, all blocks (bachelor in daytime and in staggered timetable) and programmes combined, work for an academic year on the same theme. From courses to practical work, including conferences, cultural and artistic events and civic engagement, all the activities proposed by the Faculty of law focus on the same theme: childhood in a migratory context. The project is called "Fill rouge" (Red thread). After a successful first four months, the momentum is building for the second half of the academic year.
