International relations at the University of Namur

InternationalThe high quality of its teaching and research has ensured UNamur a growing international reputation and has enabled it to conclude many cooperation agreements as well as to develop partnerships and exchange programmes involving students, researchers and professors from all over Europe and beyond.
