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. 

To start studying biology, you need to be passionate about living organisms and enjoy questioning yourself to understand how they function, behave and evolve in relation to the environment. You need to tackle the subjects right from the start and manage to balance work and leisure. Personally, I study best in the quiet of the library.

For future students Preparatory coursesTo get your first year of study off to a good start, the University of Namur is offering 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 can 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 university campus, your Faculty and the extra-academic activities organized in Namur. Discover the preparatory course program For first-year students Operation TremplinOptional remedial sessions are organized by the chemistry teaching unit. Depending on requests, they are scheduled from week to week. The content of these sessions varies according to need: subject re-explanations, question-and-answer sessions, completion of additional exercises, correction of formative assessments, ...Chemistry workshopsChemistry workshops are only for students in the 1st block in Chemical or Physical Sciences. The aim of the chemistry workshops is to help you in your thinking and learning by working on the knowledge and skills specific to the discipline. Chemistry is not just a game of memorization. It's all about understanding. These workshops will aim to:To help you study more effectively so you don't waste countless hoursTo teach you to ask yourself the right questions to study profitablyTo help you better perceive your teachers' requirements and thus acquire the skills expected for assessmentYou will be provided with the tools to better understand your course, to practice key concepts to be able to solve problems similar to exam questions. During each workshop, an announced theme will be specifically addressed: How to approach a stoichiometric problem? How to visualize a molecule in space using molecular models? ...In the first quadrimester, a few chemistry workshops will be organized (in place of a physics workshop). In the second term, general chemistry and organic chemistry workshops will be offered at a time slot defined in the timetable.Chemistry MCQs - drill exercisesTo work on and deepen their 1st block general chemistry and organic chemistry courses, in addition to the TP and TD scheduled in your timetable, you have access to numerous MCQ exercises on WebCampus.Math labsMath labs are times when Block 1 chemistry, biology, geology, geography and biomedical students can work on their math lessons with the occasional help of an assistant present in the room, like a supervised study. These labs are planned at the start of the term in the timetable of the students concerned.All detailed information is available on the Virtual Student Office (VSO).

Discover the preparatory course program For first-year students Centralized information Regularly, modules called "flash info" are produced throughout the year for students. These "flash info" take the form of a short communication at the end of a theoretical course. Their aim is to present the various offers of help for success made available by all the University's services throughout the academic year, and to invite students in need to make use of them. Strengthening cross-disciplinary skillsTraining courses aimed at strengthening certain cross-disciplinary skills are organized at the request of students 3 times a year. Following a bottom-up logic, students are surveyed beforehand to identify their specific needs in order to guide the training theme (remediation session, rules for writing a report, producing a bibliography, assessment preparation device, etc.). By completing the survey, the student agrees to take part in the training course if he or she has expressed an interest in it. At the same time, all the tools and training courses are made available throughout the year on a Webcampus page. Individual follow-upAt the student's initiative, a meeting can be requested at any time with the success support referent.Math labsMath labs are times when Block1 chemistry, biology, geology, geography and biomedical students can work on their math lessons by requesting one-off help from an assistant present in the room, like a supervised study. These labs are planned at the beginning of the term in the timetable of the students concerned.All detailed information is available on the Virtual Student Office (VSO).
