Meanwhile, Dr. Sabine Henry, Professor of Geography at the University of Namur and lead collaborator will be back for some lectures at the UPPI during the mid-year term.
In exchange, two master’s students at the UPPI will spend four months in Namur from September 2018 to January 2019 to take up a number of courses while a faculty from the UPPI will also visit Namur in late 2018 to give a series of lectures on Demography to graduate and undergraduate students of the said university.
The faculty of UPPI will start screening applicants for the student exchange around March 2018. Graduate students of UPPI are qualified to apply to the exchange program. Interested students can start sending their letter to the Director of UPPI and should be ready for interview anytime between April to May 2018.
