The preparatory year aims to provide students whose previous studies have been deemed by the programme committee to be inadequate for direct access to Master [120] in Performing Arts [120.0] with supplementary courses to help the student succesfully follow the master.

This programme aims to introduce students to university methodology and also is composed of an introduction to philosophy, literature and art as well as the theatre in practice.

Depending on the nature of the course and the teaching methods, the evaluation will take different forms. Some courses will involve oral and/or written evaluations (held during one of the three exam sessions: January – June – August/September)), whilst the evaluation of seminars will involve more substantial student participation as well as assessment of individual course work. Evaluation methods will be explained at the beginning of each course.

Teaching methods are evaluated in accordance with the current University regulations (see General regulations concerning examinations). Students may also find additional information regarding the evaluation of courses in the course description.

This year of study targets :

• Students who satisfy the conditions of the decree regarding the bridging programme ;
• Graduates of a Belgian or foreign university deemed by the admission committee for Master [120] in Performing Arts [120.0] not to have the prerequisite knowledge (see Admission requirements) ;
• Students who do not hold a degree allowing direct access to a master but who can demonstrate a level of knowledge and skills aquired through their professional or personal experiences (accreditation of prior learning).

See the general admission requirements

For Belgian students satisfying the decree’s bridging programme conditions : applications must be adressed to the administrative manager – Collège Erasme, Place Blaise Pascal, 1 1348 Louvain-La-Neuve – Michèle Dewez.
