The Human science seminar focuses on a humanities discipline, to be chosen between philosophy, history, linguistic, psychology, criminology, political science or information and communication. The seminar should lead to personal work at a scientific level. The content of each seminar varies according to the holder and the discipline concerned.

The seminar is given in small groups of students, at a rate of 1h30 every two weeks, during the first and second terms. Attendance at the seminar sessions is mandatory

The Humanities Seminar is evaluated on the basis of intermediate work and final work to be submitted in the second quarter. In the event of unjustified failure to submit an intermediate or final paper or unjustified absence during the oral presentation, the student obtains a final grade of 0A/20 for the seminar in the June session. In case of delay, 4 points out of 20 are also withdrawn per day of delay, with a maximum of 5 days of delay. Beyond that, the student also obtains the final grade of 0A/20 in the June session. In addition, attendance at the seminar sessions is mandatory. Beyond one unjustified absence from the seminar sessions, the student obtains a final grade of 0A/20 for the seminar in the June session.
The exemption from representing the final work of the seminar in the same academic year is granted from 10/20 for the final rating of the seminar (art. 23 of the provisions of the Faculty of Law).
