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.

The Faculty of Law is steered by various consultative and decision-making bodies. It has services common to the entire faculty organization.

The University of Namur recognizes the importance of extra-academic activities in the balance of student life, which is divided between three times: teaching, study and relaxation. That's why students can get involved in university life in a variety of ways, depending on their interests.
