The first two modules are organized as lectures (2 X 2h). Each course is taught by a first-year bachelor's professor.Essential structures and functions of eukaryotic cells; introduction to cell divisionThe course provides an overview of the different cellular compartments in an animal and plant cell. The different organelles of the cell are then described from a structural point of view and from the point of view of their main function in the cell. The cell cycle and the process of cell division are recapped.Macromolecules of life; the genetic code and its translation into proteinsThe course reviews different macromolecules of living things: lipids (energy source, phospholipids and sterols), proteins (4 levels of organization, structure-function-activity relationship) and nucleic acids (nucleotides, RNA, DNA, double helix, hereditary material). The following modules (3 X 2h) are organized in groups of more or less 25 students. They are taught by assistants from the Biology department.Metabolism I: notions of enzymes, energy and ATP, catabolism and anabolismThe points covered are:Some thermodynamic aspectsFree energy, endergonic and exergonic reactions, balanced reactions, energy coupling, catabolism-anabolism linkCarbohydrates, storage and reserve polysaccharidesATP, energy currency of the cell, examples of productionEnzymes, activation energy, active site, allosteric regulation, inhibitors, denaturationMetabolism II: Energy flow in the cell (respiration and photosynthesis)Points covered are:Autotrophs, heterotrophsFundamental role of ATPEnergy-producing metabolismsAerobic cellular respirationFermentationPhotosynthesisMendelian genetics, meiosis, crossover and related genesThe points covered are:Historical background to the birth of geneticsRecall of meiosis and comparison with mitosisMendel's lawsPhenotype and genotypeTest-crossCodominance, partial dominance, polyallelic and polygenic heredity, pleiotropy, epistasisSex chromosome-related heredityGene linkage, spanning, genetic map.

Session 1: The student's jobUniversity teaching: essential differences from high school. How to adapt? Work organization and time management from the start of the academic year: tools and information on best practices.Session 2: Understanding your lectureIn a large-audience lecture with a Block 1 teacher, active note-taking.Evaluation of this note-taking, analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of the different techniques used.Precision and rigor required at university: anticipate the teacher's requirements.Session 3: Memorizing your courseResearch into memorization strategies in relation to how memory works and the teacher's requirements.Making personal study tools based on syllabus extracts and note-taking.Getting down to work and staying there: strategies for resisting temptation.Session 4: Student testimonialsExchange with students who have experienced and succeeded in their first year at university.

The career path of female students is often associated with their academic commitment, i.e. their performance in assessments and their serious involvement in studies. However, there is no denying that extra-academic commitment, i.e. students' involvement in activities outside the strictly academic framework, is an essential dimension of their overall training and more specifically of the development of soft skills.Valuing the importance of this commitment is therefore a policy axis developed at the University of Namur, as a university education is also nourished by practical experience, social involvement and personal development.

The equivalence is a document that determines the level of studies that have been completed outside Belgium and allows access to a certain level of study in a higher education institution in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation.
