An original faculty
The FaSEF is the first faculty in Belgium to be primarily dedicated to initial and continuing training programs for teachers, teaching executives as well as trainers in various professional sectors. It is open to all disciplines related to the world of education and training.
In a context where the web provides resources for pupils and students, where social networks are spaces for life and exchange, the opening of a Faculty of Education and Training Sciences testifies to an awareness of the societal issues to be encountered in the coming decade. The University of Namur is determined to make a lasting investment in facilitating access to information and knowledge, as well as putting them into perspective in a critical approach, supported and accompanied by trainers and teachers.
Based in particular on the resources developed over 35 years within the Education and Technology Department (DET), it is characterized by its integration of services dedicated to the UNamur university community (students and teachers). All members share the conviction that teaching, research and services maintain close links and mutually enrich each other in an academic context.
