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).

The Faculty of Science demonstrates cutting-edge, rich, dynamic and interdisciplinary research developed through the research units and laboratories of the various departments.

In the sciences, the international dimension is essential! It's possible to explore beyond the borders of the Université de Namur to do an internship or take a course, or to work in a laboratory at another university in the country. The institution has established cooperation agreements with other universities and initiated numerous international research projects that encourage exchanges and researcher mobility.

A life well lived!

The Faculty of Science has more than 400 members who are involved, each year, in the scientific academic career of 1500 students.

The Department of Physics is structured into entities in charge of its organization, teaching and research.

Since the discovery of fire in prehistoric times, humans have been fascinated by matter, its properties, and the changes that occur naturally or as a result of human intervention. Now known as "chemists," specialists in the reactivity of matter continue to pursue the art of experimentation and discovery. The products of their essential knowledge are applied in the fields of nutrition, health, hygiene, transportation, sports, construction, and environmental protection. 

Awakening curiosity about the Earth and the natural world: a key to meeting tomorrow's challenges.

Learn how to respond to our society's social and environmental challenges to acquire a forward-looking scientific approach to solving societal issues.

Developed since the dawn of time, mathematics shapes our daily lives and develops tools for the future. At the heart of hard sciences such as physics, chemistry, and biology, mathematics plays a key role in a large number of applied problems, whether in computer science and telecommunications, through discrete mathematics and algorithms, in meteorology and space science, through the theory of dynamic systems, or in finance and actuarial science, through probability and stochastic processes. 

Veterinary medicine is a discipline at the crossroads of medicine, biology, agronomy, and pharmacy. It focuses on the collective and individual health of farm and companion animals, as well as its implications for the environment, human health, and society. At the forefront of public health management and contagious disease surveillance, veterinarians are also spearheading biomedical research in humans and animals. In this sense, veterinary medicine is an indispensable link in global health. 

Physics: An Adventure of the Mind. From the infinitely small to the infinitely large, from elementary particles to galaxies, are you eager to understand the why and how of the natural phenomena you observe?  Why is the sky blue? How does an airplane take off? How does radiation therapy work? What are the effects of global warming? How can nanotechnology revolutionize telecommunications? How can we produce energy without depleting the planet?Physics answers all your questions.
