They are optional, chargeable and enable students to discover university teaching methods (syllabus, ex cathedra lectures, quizzes...), review important subject points and relate them to the 1st year bachelor's course, familiarize themselves with the rhythm of the day's lectures at university, check their working method and correct it if necessary, and become aware of their strengths and weaknesses in order to react in the best possible way.
The courses offered for future bioengineers include mathematics, physics, chemistry, French language, working methods and digital information technology.
Preparatory courses in mathematics are also organized during the first week of September at Gembloux Agro-Bio Tech. Please note: this session is exclusively reserved for students who have taken the 4h math course (or less) in rhetoric and who have already registered with the Faculty.
