Teaching method

A team of teaching assistants is on hand to provide personalized support for students, particularly with regard to methodological coursework. Throughout their course of study for a bachelor's degree in art history and archaeology, general orientation, students are exposed to a variety of teaching methods adapted to different learning objectives: lectures, group work, independent study, seminars, tutorials and field trips. The Musée L serves as a privileged laboratory for the direct study of objects in their material, technical, iconological and stylistic aspects. Excursions are encouraged, including day trips during smart week.
The third year of the bachelor's degree is particularly lively and rich, as it is characterized by the finalization of the e-portfolio, internship(s) and a trip abroad linked to the on-site seminar. The e-portfolio invites students to take part in cultural activities of their choice (visits to museums, exhibitions, sites, conferences, concerts, readings, etc.). Students are accompanied by a "tutor" throughout this "extra-academic" journey, which encourages ongoing reflection on the experiences gained.

At the end of the bachelor's program, students are invited to take part in a two-week internship in an institution (museum, cultural association, archaeological excavation site in Belgium or abroad, etc.) recognized by the teacher in charge of the internship. Archaeology students also have the opportunity to take part in a one-week excavation internship. These practical experiences give students the opportunity to demonstrate a real commitment to their training. Internships expose students to the specificities and challenges of the professional world right from the undergraduate level. 
The foreign trip in Block 3 is the culmination of a shared research program (seminar). At the end of the cycle, students demonstrate their ability to master a theme and present it. They play an active role in preparing and leading the trip.
