ULB academic success is at the heart of everything we do. Starting university means adapting to a new way of learning, covering more material than in secondary school, and developing greater self-discipline. These changes can make studying at ULB more challenging than what you may have been used to. To help you succeed, the ULB learning support service and other ULB student support services offer resources and guidance.
Each Faculty has created a range of tools to support students, and you will find both within the Faculties and across ULB dedicated services and people ready to guide you. From ULB learning support and university study support ULB to tailored academic coaching, these resources are designed to help you make the most of your studies.
For further information, do not hesitate to contact your Faculty office or the InfOR études team, who can provide details on the different ULB student support services available to you.
Studying at university is a job that has to be learned. Several schemes are provided to support you and help you become more independent thanks to the Learning Support Service (Service d’aide aux apprentissages – SAA). At the SAA, we can help you put in place effective learning strategies.
