Medicine: Two sessions to prepare you for the entrance exam

Access to medical studies is notably conditional on ranking in useful order in the single entrance exam for all universities in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation.

These sessions are open to all, but are particularly aimed at students who have chosen a general science program in secondary education. They are a valuable aid in preparing for the various subjects on the competitive examination syllabus, but require a real personal investment.
