Launched in March 2011, Pluri-LL is intended as a lever to stimulate and coordinate collaboration between academics and scientists doing research in different areas of plurilingualism.

The Faculty of Philosophy and Letters has a Cellule d'appui pédagogique (CAP) whose primary mission is to organize aide à la réussite activities for students. These consist of: methodological workshops, applied to the requirements of the faculty's courses, particularly in terms of writing; mock exams and feedback sessions; (on request) personalized follow-up.

The FoundationsOn May 1, 1831, the Fathers of the Society of Jesus founded a college in Namur with the distinctive feature of providing philosophical education at both secondary and higher levels.Two years later, in August 1833, a two-year candidacy in "Speculative Philosophy and Letters" was devised and created. It would be effectively undertaken the following academic year, that of 1834. This was the birth of UNamur's Faculty of Philosophy and Letters.As early as 1835, the new program advocated enabled students to prepare for the state jury examinations to acquire the legal grade of Candidate in Philosophy and Letters. The program was then legally recognized as a diploma.Early developmentsIn 1890, the application was enriched by offering four sections: philosophy, history, classical philology and Romance philology. A preparatory section for law was added and became an autonomous faculty in 1967.From College to UniversityIn the inter-war years, the establishment progressed. The law of 1929 assimilated the Collège Notre-Dame de la Paix's faculty of philosophy and letters to the universities, which awarded candidate diplomas in philosophy and letters. Students were no longer obliged to be examined by the central jury.The time of reformsDespite a difficult financial situation due to the lack of state subsidies, the faculty continued to develop.The second half of the twentieth century saw the advent of numerous reforms. From 1953 onwards, girls were admitted to the Faculties on condition that they were from the city of Namur or a contiguous commune (the condition was lifted in 1965).In 1955, new, more spacious buildings made it possible to accommodate more students, even if their numbers did not increase significantly until the 1980s.In 1961, the sections of Germanic Philology and Art and Archaeology completed the existing sections. Lay professors were gradually added to the teaching staff.From 1971, the government decided to grant the university operating subsidies calculated according to the same criteria as for other university institutions. The Faculty of Philosophy and Letters thus benefited from the improved financial situation of the institution as a whole.The "today of the faculty"In 1994, the decree on the university study regime empowered the faculty to organize the doctorate in philosophy and letters.Ten years later, in 2004, following the so-called "Bologna" reform aimed at enabling greater collaboration between universities at European level, the candidacy cycle was transformed by ministerial decree into a three-year bachelor's degree..

Concerned with placing its research and teaching at the very heart of society, the Department of Philosophy proposes several initiatives capable of meeting the expectations of the civic community.

The History Department's research is organized around three chronological axes and four major themes structured into research hubs.

Training courses The Department of Classical Languages and Literatures, in partnership with the Department of Romance Languages, organizes the Bachelor's degree in Ancient and Modern Languages and Letters (Latin-French). This course lies at the crossroads of two complementary fields - Latin and French - and studies them from a linguistic and literary perspective. This bachelor's degree provides access, in the original language, to the founding texts of our culture, from Antiquity to the present day. Learn more In addition, teachers in the Department of Classical Languages and Literatures teach the Latin, Greek and Ancient History courses that are part of the curriculum for most bachelor's degrees in the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters: French and Romance Languages and Literatures, History, Art History and Archaeology and Philosophy. Following the daily life of the bachelor. Special features A specific feature of Latin and Greek teaching at UNamur is the three-level structure: Initiation / Text Reading / Explanation of authors. When they arrive in 1st year, whether or not they took Latin or Greek in secondary school, students can choose the course best suited to their level. This enables them to gradually acquire the knowledge (grammar and vocabulary) needed to translate and understand literary texts and Latin and Greek inscriptions. The department's teachers are committed to offering students regular, personalized support, in the spirit of the companionship implemented in the training of craftsmen. Studies must also be an opportunity to broaden horizons: in addition to the various and varied activities organized by the department, the Bachelor's program in Latin-French offers the possibility of an Erasmus stay in 3rd year, notably in France and Italy.

Through their teaching and research activities, members of the Department of Classical Languages and Literatures are led to reflect daily on the place of Latin, Greek and ancient history in our society, and on the role these disciplines can play in intellectual training and the development of a nuanced and "offbeat" view of the contemporary world. They are keen to share their experience and reflections beyond the University, notably through lecture courses or publications aimed at a wide audience.

As a complement to courses, the Department of Classical Languages and Literatures offers students a series of "extra-academic" activities that provide opportunities to deepen subject study and broaden horizons beyond university audiences.

Juliette, Léa and Sarah, students in the first bachelor's degree program in Latin-French (2019-2021) We were the first to take this new Latin-French bachelier and to be able to "test drive" this unique curriculum. This course, which we believe brings together the best of the Classics and Romance languages, enables us to broaden our horizons between the past and the future, in order to better understand our current society. We look forward to continuing our journey, surrounded by attentive and passionate teachers, to eventually become the language specialists we aspire to be. Yasmine, Latin-French student What path led you to a bachelor's degree in Latin-French? I began my humanities by taking the Latin option solely on the advice of the headmistress of my school, because, me, I wasn't even able to define Latin as a language, but the passion communicated through arguments had convinced me. I then spent two fulfilling years during which I studied vocabulary, grammar but also a whole new culture on different levels: architectural, literary, historical... As my school didn't offer Latin in third year, I opted for the strong science option which I later supplemented with four hours of mathematics. I liked these subjects. So, like many of my current fellow students, I naturally continued along the science path until a visit to the SIEP fair... At this fair, I learned about a special feature of the Latin-French bachelier in Namur: the three-level organization of Latin and Greek courses. The opportunity to study Latin again, going back to basics, appealed to me. That's how I dared to reorient myself towards literary studies. How far along are you in your training? I'm currently in the second year of a bachelor's degree in ancient and modern languages and literature. My training allows me to acquire linguistic and literary skills. What I particularly appreciate is my growing ability to access the thoughts of authors whatever the century! From Cicero to Rimbaud to a mysterious Païen de Maisières, I explore the French language from every angle, both through its primitive states (Old and Middle French) and through its mother tongue, Latin. What do you plan to do in later life? I plan to continue my training at UCLouvain, where you can do either a didactic master's degree or a master's degree with an in-depth focus. I'm interested in the latter. More specifically, I'm thinking of taking the specialized finality in Roman civilization and contemporary French studies. Follow your passion! Many people choose their course of study based on their desired career. But studies are for what they are. Then there are the opportunities that can take you to a country or professional sector that was not expected!
