Practice Check and clarify your understanding of the subject.Most specialty courses take the form of a dialogue with the teachers. In this way, you can check your understanding of the subject as you go along, and clarify it. Repetitions and quizzes are offered regularly.For all courses, lectures are enriched by the commented reading of articles or extracts from philosophical works. Thanks to your personal assignments, you directly confront the study of precisephilosophical questions, become familiar with research and are introduced to the philosophical dissertation. 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 in early November on at least one of the most voluminous subjects. Teachers correct your papers, comment on them and organize group correction sessions.

If you fail, you can retake the relevant exam in June and/or August. Three chances to succeed, but only in the first year.

Assessment procedures are specified during the first course and are detailed on the university website.Verification of knowledge gained from technical courses is almost continuous; it relies above all on your personal work completed during the year.You conclude your training by demonstrating, through your end-of-cycle work, the acquisition of personal reflection.

Thereafter, any exam not passed in the January or June session is automatically carried over to the August session.Exams can be either written or oral.Teachers give preference to open-ended questions and take care to combine oral and written modalities to test different language skills. Several teachers use formulas aimed at the creative application of knowledge to texts not dealt with in class. For many courses, a significant proportion of the results are determined by written work or personal or group presentations.Language skills acquired during exercises are generally assessed on an ongoing basis (active participation) or in the form of individual or group work.Each teacher informs you of his or her requirements and examination modalities. Several teachers communicate sample questions orally or on the intranet.Verification of knowledge acquired in technical courses is almost permanent; it is based above all on personal work completed during the year.

Succeeding in a year of study at university involves many challenges.To help you meet them, we support you in developing your disciplinary, methodological and human skills... with the support of numerous professionals.

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).
