Since 2023, the University of Namur has been reorganizing its range of teacher training courses as part of the "Reform of initial teacher training". On this page, you'll find all the information you need about training to teach in upper secondary education (4th to 6th secondary).
In 2024-2025
The reform of teacher training at university will begin in September 2025. Until then, those wishing to train to teach in upper secondary schools have two options:
Do you have a disciplinary bachelor's degree?
Master's degrees with a didactic focus are offered in the sciences (biology, chemistry, mathematics and physics) and in economics and management. The 120-credit program is divided between disciplinary training (under the responsibility of the respective faculties) and pedagogical training supervised by the FaSEF.
Do you have a discipline master's degree?
The agrégation de l'enseignement secondaire supérieur gives access to the teaching profession in upper secondary education to holders of a disciplinary master's degree wishing to train in didactics. The program is reduced to 30 credits of pedagogical and didactic training, mainly supervised by the FaSEF.
An information evening on the AESS and the master's degree in didactics is organized each year before the start of classes. All information concerning this information evening will be available shortly.
Please note: last year of enrolment in 2024-2025.
