Free University of Brussels recently issued the following announcement.
The transition between secondary and higher education is not always simple: new environment, new courses, new way of working. ULB has been helping future students to cross this milestone by offering preparatory courses for higher studies for several years organized during the summer with the collaboration of the EPFC.
Given the health crisis that led to the closure of schools this year, these courses will be a real added value for students who wish to undertake university studies. The preparatory courses offered will cover the following subjects: methodology and university French for Francophones and non-Francophones, improvement in French language and literature, French for non-Francophones (upgrade), ancient languages, modern languages, mathematics and sciences, preparation for the admission exam to the École Polytechnique de Bruxelles, preparation for the admission exam in medicine and dentistry.
This year, due to the health crisis, the ULB has adapted the organization of these courses

Course in hybrid mode
These training courses are currently envisaged according to a hybrid model (alternating between face-to-face learning and distance learning). For face-to-face lessons, the ULB will ensure compliance with the security measures in force (in particular the rules on distance, which will involve the organization of lessons in small groups).
However, in the event of very favorable developments, these training sessions will be organized in full face-to-face. In the event of an unfavorable development, they will be adapted.
