Thibault d'Herbais de Thun

When I chose UNamur, I quickly discovered a real bonus: a friendly campus and a city on a human scale, much more pleasant than Belgium’s major cities.

I’ve been passionate about chemistry since high school, and I wanted to take it further. Here, I’ve found the ideal environment to delve deeper into what has long motivated me.

Outside of class, I particularly enjoy the student clubs. They’re a chance to meet other students in my program in a more relaxed setting, share tips, exchange study notes during exam periods, and, above all, build meaningful relationships. And when I need to unwind, there’s nothing like a workout or a walk to the Citadel—a must-see in Namur.

I chose to become a student ambassador because I want to represent and promote chemistry studies, which, in my opinion, are still under-considered by young people. My role is to be an accessible point of contact for prospective students, able to answer their questions as an equal, offering a perspective that complements that of the academic advisors.

My advice to future students? Don’t hesitate to reach out to others and ask older students for help. You’ll often be surprised by how much solidarity matters right from the very first days.

For me, studying at UNamur is, above all, about meeting people.
