Quality policy: ULiège's commitment

Taking into account the social responsibility of a public university ¹ such as the Université de Liège, and based on its strategic plan, it is committed to providing quality education, open to all, with a view to progress and social emancipation. It assumes its teaching mission by doing its utmost to :

• enable students to open up to the world, to the challenges of the 21st century, to the needs of a society in transition, to debate and to complexity;
• encourage students to become active, responsible citizens and develop their critical faculties;
• encourage them to be active participants in their own learning ;
• guarantee that everyone is welcome, that everyone is treated equally, and that they have every opportunity to succeed;
• enhance students' versatility and adaptability.

To this end, it undertakes to :

• support students in developing responsible and active citizenship in professional, social, economic and cultural life, through training at the highest level, particularly in the challenges of transitions ;
• promote their autonomy and self-fulfilment ;
• develop scientific curiosity, a critical sense, and an awareness of individual and collective responsibilities and duties by encouraging systemic approaches;
• opening up equal opportunities for social emancipation through inclusive policies and lifelong learning.

To meet these commitments, the company relies on a quality assurance policy defined through various processes:

• regular collective reflection on curricula, teaching approaches, academic rhythms and assessment methods;
• perpetuate the close link between teaching and research, scientific rigor and the development of a critical mind
  based on knowledge;
• providing the resources needed to support students and supervisors at every stage of their career;
