Why did you choose to study at UNamur?

I chose UNamur because of its family-like atmosphere. The close relationship with the professors makes it easier to interact with them and receive guidance.

Why did you choose to major in history?

History is a subject that has always fascinated me. Beyond the study of the past, studying history provides us with insights into the challenges of the present. This program also develops critical thinking and analytical skills.

What do you particularly enjoy about your studies?

I really appreciate that the courses are supplemented by hands-on activities, such as visits to the State Archives, museums, or exhibitions. This allows us to engage directly with historical sources and gives meaning to what we learn in the classroom.

Could you tell us more about your role as music representative for the Revue Philo et Lettres?

Serving as the music representative for the Revue Philo et Lettres involves putting together a team of musicians to accompany the play and organizing rehearsals. 

The Revue is a place where you meet many people and build connections. In fact, it brings together students from all departments within the School of Philosophy and Letters. It also provides a space dedicated to artistic creation and imagination outside of class.

What advice would you give to a prospective student?

My first piece of advice would be not to hesitate to ask classmates or teachers for help if needed. Exchanging notes and asking questions after class can help you avoid feeling overwhelmed by the workload. There are also academic support groups that can help you find a study method that works for you and create a schedule.

My second piece of advice would be to stay involved in extracurricular activities. The university offers sports activities, among other things, but you can also get involved in student publications, project-based student housing, clubs, and more…
