Embark on a captivating journey to the heart of exploration, knowledge and innovation, where every experience shapes your potential. Welcome to the Faculty of Science at the University of Namur!

Biology is the science of life.  From cells to ecosystems, it studies all forms of life. It is essential for understanding complex societal issues related to the environment, health, and sustainable development. 

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).

Hybrid education represents an innovative fusion of face-to-face and distance learning, redefining the traditional contours of education. At the heart of this transition, teachers play a crucial role, offering not only knowledge, but also their experience and adaptability. Through the testimonies of teachers, the challenges encountered will be explained. Accompanying this exploration, educational resources are available to support teachers in their quest for efficiency and innovation. The "Midis Enseignement à distance" are presented as rendez-vous, offering a space for exchange and sharing of expertise.

These teachers' testimonials are grouped according to their main characteristics.

On this page you'll find our pedagogical and technical sheets. They emerge from "field" observations and exchanges of practice with our teachers and students in hybrid teaching. Happy reading!
