Helping you succeed in medicine
Preparatory courses
From the beginning of November, the University of Namur is offering preparatory courses for the medical entrance exam.These courses are devoted to the revision of the four scientific subjects (mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology), and a preparation for the "Communication and critical analysis of information" section. These courses are also designed to teach you to master the specific techniques of this type of MCQ (multiple-choice questionnaire)-based test. Practically, in each discipline, the program offers many opportunities to practice this type of question, and a module is devoted to how to prepare for and answer MCQs. This is a non-obligatory aid that also requires a personal investment to prepare you for the competition. Two sessions are offered throughout the year.

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.
