At ULB, your success is our priority. Not only do academic studies involve an entirely new way to learn, but they also cover more material than secondary school, and require that you become self-disciplined. All these factors, and others, could make your work as a student somewhat more challenging that what you were used to.
Each Faculty has developed a number of tools to support you, and you will find – both within the Faculties and at the ULB level – services and people who can help you navigate the various ways in which the University can assist you in your studies:
Do not hesitate to contact your Faculty office or the InfOR-études team to learn more about these opportunities for support.
Studying at university is a job that has to be learned. A number of schemes are provided to support you and help you become more independent thanks to the Learning Support Service (Service d’aide aux apprentissages – SAA). At the SAA, we can help you put in place effective learning strategies.
