LEA (Academic Reading and Writing)
Many studies show that mastery of the written language and, above all, the ability to adapt to a particular communication context (that of the University) contribute to success in bac 1. However, students begin their university careers with a variety of tools, and the appropriation of the "access codes" and written conventions used in higher education is rarely the subject of explicit information or teaching.

Training reflective, autonomous, and supportive teachers
Since September 2023, the reform of initial teacher training (RFIE) has been profoundly transforming the teaching profession. This year, it is taking a new step forward with the replacement of the former teaching-oriented master's degrees and the agrégation by master's degrees in teaching sections 4 and 5. Led by the Faculty of Education and Training Sciences (FaSEF), in collaboration with the Faculties of Science and EMCP (Economics, Management, Communication, and Political Science), the reform is accompanied by a strengthened partnership with HENALLUX (Namur-Liège-Luxembourg University College).
