Help to succeed in Geology
For future students
Preparatory coursesTo get your first year of study off to a good start, the University of Namur is offering preparatory courses in physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology and English during the last two weeks of August. Of these, physics and chemistry are compulsory, and you can choose two other subjects from mathematics, biology and English. In addition to the four disciplines, three activities are organized:seminars on the methodology of university work a presentation of the first-year English course a guided tour of the university site, the Faculty and the library.Second- and third-year students will also show you around the university campus, your Faculty and the extra-academic activities organized in Namur.

Centralized information Regularly, modules called "flash info" are produced throughout the year for students. These "flash info" take the form of a short communication at the end of a theoretical course. Their aim is to present the various offers of help for success made available by all the University's services throughout the academic year, and to invite students in need to make use of them. Strengthening cross-disciplinary skillsTraining courses aimed at strengthening certain cross-disciplinary skills are organized at the request of students 3 times a year. Following a bottom-up logic, students are surveyed beforehand to identify their specific needs in order to guide the training theme (remediation session, rules for writing a report, producing a bibliography, assessment preparation device, etc.). By completing the survey, the student agrees to take part in the training course if he or she has expressed an interest in it. At the same time, all the tools and training courses are made available throughout the year on a Webcampus page. Individual follow-upAt the student's initiative, a meeting can be requested at any time with the success support referent.Math labsMath labs are times when Block1 chemistry, biology, geology, geography and biomedical students can work on their math lessons by requesting one-off help from an assistant present in the room, like a supervised study. These labs are planned at the beginning of the term in the timetable of the students concerned.All detailed information is available on the Virtual Student Office (VSO).

Help to succeed in Mathematic
For future students
Preparatory coursesTo get your first year of study off to a good start, the University of Namur is offering preparatory courses in mathematics and physics during the last two weeks of August. These courses, focusing on the basic concepts covered in secondary education, coverin mathematics: algebra and logic, analysis, complex numbers, trigonometry and geometry;in physics: vector theory, mechanics and electricityA seminar on university work methodology is also offered, to quickly familiarize you with the new learning context and develop new, effective study techniques. Finally, students welcome you to a meeting organized by the mathematics circle.

Math workshopsMath workshops are for Block 1 math and physics students. These optional workshops are scheduled at the beginning of each term in the students' timetable, and take place for 2 hours a week throughout the academic year. During these workshops, students can either work on their maths lessons with the help of an assistant present in the room, or be offered activities to help them better understand their maths lessons (illustrating a concept, solving an exercise in detail, working on a demonstration, correcting tests and exams, etc.). Students can suggest topics for the workshops via a forum on the WebCampus platform. The Workshop schedule is announced week by week, with an indication of the formula proposed (answers to personal questions or activity on a defined topic).Physics and chemistry workshopsThis scheme is not just for students with difficulties: it is aimed at all Block 1 students in chemical, physical and mathematical sciences. They have a very specific objective: to teach you to "think better in physics". The aim is to introduce you to the communication codes used in the academic world. For example, to better perceive the expectations of teachers in charge of courses so as to respond to them more adequately during written exams, etc.All detailed information is available on the Virtual Student Office (BVE).

Mathematics
Developed since the dawn of time, mathematics shapes our daily lives and develops tools for the future. At the heart of the hard sciences, such as physics, chemistry and biology, mathematics plays a key role in a large number of applied problems, whether in computer science and telecommunications, through discrete mathematics and algorithmics, in meteorology and the space field, through the theory of dynamic systems, or in finance and actuarial science, through probability and stochastic processes.
