Medicine is situated at the confluence of the Exact Sciences and Human Sciences.
 
A Doctor in medicine is a scientist who is interested in man's body and "soul". The bachelor's of medicine thus revolves around two main axes : the "Basic and Life Sciences" axis and the "Human Sciences" axis. The training in "Basic and Life Sciences" aims at the acquisition of knowledge and the fundamental scientific capacities indispensable for the practice of a profession where intellectual rigour is the order of the day. This necessitates : a keen sense of observation, the capacity for understanding and processing data and a critical approach to the data collected, all of which skills will be acquired thanks to the practical part of the course-work.
 
The Studies in Human Sciences nourish reflection on the different questions underlined by the recent developments in Biomedical Sciences : science and society, respect of nature, neurosciences and human nature, all of which themes will be tackled during the course seminars and lectures. The Psychology course will help the student to approach the patient from the perspective of his being a unique, individual person.
 
Please note : Access to the medical profession is limited by federal legislation and the selection of students is determined by French-speaking community law.
