Minor in Gender Studies [30.0]

Retour en début de pageStudy objectives

The aim of the minor is to allow students who so wish to include a course of critical reflection on the place of man and woman in society in their baccalaureate training. The program offers a multidisciplinary approach from the first level. Amongst other things, it raises important epistemological questions: it questions the neutrality of knowledge and questions the way disciplines are borne out of the male/female divide.

Admission

3. Enrolling on the minor and checks to the enrollment form 
After enrolling on BAC12 at the general student secretariat, between the end of June and the middle of September, the student is invited to enroll on the elective on the website: 
http://www.ucl.ac.be/etudes/2006/cycle1/fr/baccalaureats.html

4. Checks on the minor enrollment

Course times

1. Consulting the course times  
http://www.uclouvain.be/espo-mineures.html

2. Resolving timetable clashes
When s/he starts BAC12, the student sets out his/her own timetable for BAC12 and BAC13, taking into account the times of minor classes.

If a timetable clash arises, there are several solutions:

Postpone the classes :
Should a timetable clash arise in BAC12 (major course/ and elective course), the student may ask to postpone one of the two course until the following year, taking account of the sequences of the courses (requirement). The course to be postponed may be the major course or elective course. 

Bringing courses forward :
Should there be a timetable clash in BAC13 (major course/ and elective course), the student may bring forward one of the two courses. The course to be brought forward may be the major course or elective.
Should the student postpone or bring forward a class, s/he may ask to move classes from one year to a different year, in order to give balance to his/her year of study.
Students are not obliged to take the 15 elective credits each year. Each year of study should include 60 credits. The student must spread his/her program out evenly over two years of study in order to obtain, for the BAC13, 30 elective credits and 150 major credits.
The student must ask the conseiller aux études (course adviser) for permission to bring a course from the next year forward. The course adviser will also check that courses are spread out evenly over the two years.

Accept the clash :
In some cases, the student may benefit from pedagogical alternatives when there is a clash of course and thus not have to attend the class in question.
Information on alternative pedagogical arrangements, if such arrangements exist, is available in every detailed course description  (above).
It is recommended that the student inform the teacher when s/he cannot attend the class due to a timetable clash.

Finding an equivalent course that does not lead to a timetable clash:
Useful information is available in every detailed course description (above). The student must obtain the prior consent of the conseiller aux études (course adviser) for the choice of equivalent course.
