THE BENEFITS OF A
COMPREHENSIVE UNIVERSITY
By their very nature, comprehensive universities add
substantial value to the academic and research environment,
notably because they foster an interdisciplinary and cross-
cutting approach. At ULiège, we can prepare philosophers to
help guide progress in epigenetics, hone budding engineers’
managerial skills and nurture prospective financiers’ interest
in ethics, for example. Drawing on the complementary
expertise of our Faculties, we organise joint courses,
particularly varied programmes, and courses resulting in
joint degrees.
