First year tailor-made

Since 2021-22, the ULB has rolled out a success support project called ‘My Bespoke First Year’ (PASM). It consists of inviting first-year students to complete non-compulsory diagnostic tests on the disciplinary, linguistic, methodological and numerical achievements expected at the beginning of their university career. Apart from the possibility of offering students early feedback on their learning, the tests make it possible to identify vulnerable students and offer them tailor-made support. Compared to other schemes, the originality of PASM is that students who are most in difficulty can request a reduction in their study programme in order to free up time for reinforcement activities without falling too far behind in their study path. Currently deployed in seven pilot sectors, the main objectives of the ESF+ project are to: gradual spin-off of the system into other study streams; the construction of a bank of questions on the disciplinary achievements considered essential for each course of study; the evaluation of the scheme and its improvement.
