Educational Support

The FPSE strives to support its students by ensuring a good student-to-faculty ratio, particularly when students first embark on their chosen course. Specialist teachers educate the students on how to adapt their methods of work, as well as on objective writing and how to closely analyse and synthesise scientific texts in the field of psychology and education.

Adults Returning to Education

The FPSE has long been aware of the need to allow adult professionals to return to education. Courses are thus offered in Charleroi on a part-time basis (in evenings and on Saturday mornings).  Depending on their previous educational path, these students can benefit from personalised programmes. A scientific unit provides information to students, serves as an interface between Charleroi and Mons, and offers permanent administrative and teaching support to adults returning to education.
