Course selection and Learning Agreement

In general, the workload for one year of study (60 ECTS) is divided evenly between the two terms. For each quadrimester you should therefore plan a course selection of around 30 ECTS.

You can choose courses from the same study program (and cycle), which must correspond to the one you are following at your home institution.

If you wish to take any of the courses offered by other UNamur faculties, because they have a clear link with the study program you are following at your home institution, you must first request permission from the faculty managers concerned.

First, you need to consult the course offering. The search can be carried out by faculty or by program and study cycle.

In general, all courses are open to exchange students, with the exception of first-year courses, Master's thesis-related courses and some laboratories.

Catalog update

Please note that the course catalog is updated every year in spring. However, minor changes may occur up to the start of the academic year. Please consult the course catalog regularly to check this information before you arrive. Final course timetables are generally not available until the start of the academic year. When choosing courses, you should therefore pay attention to the quadrimesters and timetables.

For the course timetable, please see this link and a video explaining how to use the course timetable.

With this in mind, changes to the Learning Agreement are still possible after the course has started, provided they are validated by your sending institution and the responsable for your mobility at UNamur.

The French is the main language of instruction at the University of Namur. Most courses are taught in French.

"English Friendly"

This "English Friendly Course" (EFC) label designates courses that are open to international exchange students with limited knowledge of French. Facilities are put in place by the teaching staff of these courses so that students can access documentation in English, interact with teachers during the course and at the time of assessment in English.

It is important to note that these are not bilingual courses. A passive knowledge of French is therefore highly recommended.

International students wishing to choose these courses are invited to signal their interest as soon as they draw up their Study Agreement, and to make themselves known to the teaching team from the very first class.

From the course code it is possible to obtain several pieces of information, namely:

The first letter of the code refers to the faculty:

• L = Faculty of Philosophy and Letters;
• E = Faculty of Economics Management Communication sciencesPo (EMCP);
• D = Faculty of Law;
• I = Faculty of Computer Science;
• S = Faculty of Science;
• M = Faculty of Medicine

The next three letters refer

• either to the program: ex. ECON > Economics or SPHY > Physics
• or to the language: ex. LNRL > Dutch or LALL > German
• or to the entity offering the course ex. IELV > School of Modern Languages

The fifth letter refers to the study cycle: "M" stands for "Master" (2nd cycle) and "B" stands for "Bachelier" (1st cycle).

The last 3 digits identify each specific course.

Digital Learning Agreement

Students whose home institution already uses the digital version of the Learning Agreement must encode their course list via the ad hoc platform. The document will then be sent directly to the SRI for validation and signature.

Learning Agreement

Students whose institutions do not use the Digital Learning Agreement or have a non-European partner can use the agreement template provided by their institution, or download the template accessible via this link.
