Analysing and taking part in the world of work

The master's in Labour sciences (1 or 2 years) are aimed at students who wish to be oriented towards analysis or intervention in social politics and/or problems related to work and employment. Although aimed at the bachelor's students of the university, these programmes are also aimed at bachelor's students of teaching outside the university as well as professionals and field activists to complete their basic training. Put together from reading seminars, courses and practical work, the master's are rooted in concrete problems and lean towards personal and practical experience. They aim to develop the skills required to formulate a diagnostic from questions or problems relating to work and, more globally, to social policies : -    critical awareness and analytical skills -    identification and conceptualisation of social problems -    development of a diagnostic and intervention perspectives -    group activities, meetings -    project development

Master programme with Pluridisciplinary Professional Focus in creative Projects

The specialisation, offered in no other French-speaking Belgian university and based on the ID-Campus project, is offered through the ULg's various masters since September, 2012.

Creativity, at the heart of revival in our societies

Creativity has now become an essential means to meet the challenges of a world that is ever more volatile, evolving and uncertain. For an organisation, the ability to overcome obstacles, react to market changes and seize opportunities results in the adoption of a generally innovative perspective (products, services, business models, processes).

Enabling a creative state of mind

All people have creative abilities : the creative process can be taught and developed. Beyond individual creativity, there is also the question of group creativity and how to manage such groups.

Pluridisciplinarity, a fertile ground for creativity

These challenges also require teamwork or the successful completion of a project based on the interaction of people with different skills and levels of experience.

Programme

For you, this focus involves a post-master : you must hold a master's degree in order to qualify for this programme. Its three components are as follows :
