Optional courses

Besides the compulsory courses, during the course of the first cycle, the students must :

  • either follow at least the equivalent of 4 credits of options
  • or have the status of "monitor student"

The student may also begin his work as a research student, but this will not be recognised until the end of the 2nd cycle and will therefore not make him exempt from following one of the two activities listed above.

Options offered in the 1st cycle

The student may, if he so wishes, follow another course than those listed above (courses from the Biomedical Sciences, Pharmacy and Public Health programmes...), subject to the previous agreement of the president of his year committee.

Monitor students

After having accomplished one year of studies, the student may participate in supporting students from lower years, for the courses in : Histology, Human Anatomy, General Physiology, Neurophysiology, General Biochemistry and Cellular and Molecular Biology.

Complementary information regarding this activity can be obtained from the lecturers or assistants.

Research students

Those students who so desire may get into direct contact with fundamental or clinical research as from the end of their first year of studies in Medecine. This activity is not considered as an option. It will be recognised at the end of the 2nd cycle.

Professor L. Hue is the President of the Research students Committee (secretary's office : ICP 75 + 1, 02 7647529).

The detailed reglementation and the application formula for this status are available on simple request at the secretary's office of the School of Medecine (Faculty Centre, level 0, "Centre Faculté niveau 0").
