Research
The Faculty of Law focuses its research priorities around its two research centers. Publications by members of the Faculty of Law and the research centers enrich academic discourse through their diversity. The Chaire Francqui, meanwhile, gathers prestigious events around eminent personalities, while the University of Namur's doctoral program in law offers a framework conducive to the flourishing of doctoral research.

Service to society
Continuing education for legal professionals
As well as teaching and research, the University has a mission to serve society. As part of this, the Faculty of Law offers a range of continuing education activities for legal professionals.The Association des Juristes Namurois (AJN), a non-profit association initiated and supported by the Faculty and bringing together the driving forces behind the various legal circles in the Namur region, frequently organizes conferences on a variety of topical themes.In addition, the Centre de recherche Information, Droit et Société (CRIDS) within the Faculty offers a lecture series "@crids" covering all aspects of information and communication technology law from a resolutely practical angle, as well as several continuing education courses in fields related to ICT law: InfoSafe and DataSafe.The faculty also offers training in forensics and urban security management, culminating in an inter-university certificate.It is also involved in development cooperation.
Alumni of the Faculty of Law
It's impossible to forget Namur's Faculty of Law once you've been there! The mutual attachment is very real during and after studies, and contacts remain numerous in what could be described as "the Namur spirit". That's why some alumni have founded ADANam, the Association des Anciens de la Faculté de droit de Namur.

The physics module consists of 8 hours of lectures and 4 hours of small-group exercises.The lecturesVector theoryVector magnitude: definition and representations (geometric and algebraic)Composition of vectors from their geometric representationAlgebraic representation of a vectorComposition of vectors from their algebraic representationUse of vectors in physics - Example of the translational equilibrium of a body subjected to several forces.KinematicsThe fundamental quantities of kinematicsThe position vector and the law of spacesThe velocity vector and the law of velocitiesThe acceleration vector and the law of accelerationsAnalysis of a few simple simple motionsUniform rectilinear motion - MRUUniformly accelerated rectilinear motion - MRUAThe falling bodiesComposition of a MRU and a MRUAExercisesDynamicsObjective - notion of force - measurement of a forceForcesUniversal gravitationWeightElastic forceFrictional forceLa Newton's 1st law (principle of inertia) and some applicationsNewton's 2nd lawMassApplications of Newton's 2nd law : satellite motion, motion on an inclined plane, parabolic flightNewton's 3rd law (action-reaction principle) and some applications.ExercisesExercises are carried out in small groups with the help of an assistant.They focus mainly on vector calculus and kinematics. These two subjects also provide an opportunity to review a few mathematical tools (trigonometry and derivative of a function) essential for tackling a physics course.

The first two modules are organized as lectures (2 X 2h). Each course is taught by a first-year bachelor's professor.Essential structures and functions of eukaryotic cells; introduction to cell divisionThe course provides an overview of the different cellular compartments in an animal and plant cell. The different organelles of the cell are then described from a structural point of view and from the point of view of their main function in the cell. The cell cycle and the process of cell division are recapped.Macromolecules of life; the genetic code and its translation into proteinsThe course reviews different macromolecules of living things: lipids (energy source, phospholipids and sterols), proteins (4 levels of organization, structure-function-activity relationship) and nucleic acids (nucleotides, RNA, DNA, double helix, hereditary material). The following modules (3 X 2h) are organized in groups of more or less 25 students. They are taught by assistants from the Biology department.Metabolism I: notions of enzymes, energy and ATP, catabolism and anabolismThe points covered are:Some thermodynamic aspectsFree energy, endergonic and exergonic reactions, balanced reactions, energy coupling, catabolism-anabolism linkCarbohydrates, storage and reserve polysaccharidesATP, energy currency of the cell, examples of productionEnzymes, activation energy, active site, allosteric regulation, inhibitors, denaturationMetabolism II: Energy flow in the cell (respiration and photosynthesis)Points covered are:Autotrophs, heterotrophsFundamental role of ATPEnergy-producing metabolismsAerobic cellular respirationFermentationPhotosynthesisMendelian genetics, meiosis, crossover and related genesThe points covered are:Historical background to the birth of geneticsRecall of meiosis and comparison with mitosisMendel's lawsPhenotype and genotypeTest-crossCodominance, partial dominance, polyallelic and polygenic heredity, pleiotropy, epistasisSex chromosome-related heredityGene linkage, spanning, genetic map.
