Activities

The Bachelor en Médecine at the 8xav of Luxembourg offers students a rich and engaging environment beyond the classroom. Through a variety of activities, events, and initiatives, students can connect with peers and professionals, explore different aspects of medicine, and take part in the vibrant life of the programme, both within the university and across the wider Luxembourg community.

Peer Tutoring

Peer Tutoring is an initiative set up by second- and third-year medical students to accompany and support first-year students in their academic journey. This tutoring system is based on the sharing of experiences and peer support, and aims to facilitate the understanding of key subjects such as anatomy, histology, cellular and molecular biology, as well as physics, through adapted explanations, targeted revision sessions, and guidance within a supportive and collaborative environment. The objective of this tutoring is also to help first-year students demystify the examination process, reduce a level of stress that is entirely understandable at this stage, and provide them with the necessary tools to enter the examination room with confidence.

The initiative thus represents an essential educational lever in supporting first-year medical students, whose transition to university education is often marked by a heavy workload and the complexity of fundamental disciplines. By promoting mutual support, inter-cohort solidarity, and the responsibility of student tutors, Peer Tutoring seeks to foster an inclusive, collaborative learning environment conducive to academic excellence and the long-term success of medical students.

Uni.lu Health Days

The Uni.lu Health Days are an outreach initiative aimed at raising awareness of medical and health-related studies, designed to meet students directly within secondary schools. Through an immersive and interactive day, the 8xav of Luxembourg presents its programmes in the field of health, including the Bachelor in Medicine, the Bachelors in Life Sciences (Biology and Biomedicine), the Bachelor in Nursing Sciences: General Care, the Bachelor in Health Sciences: Medical Radiology Technical Assistant, as well as the Bachelor in Midwifery Sciences. Students are thus able to gain concrete insight into the realities of health studies and professions through targeted presentations, hands-on workshops, innovative experiences such as virtual reality in radiology, and exchanges with lecturers and healthcare professionals.

The main objective of the Uni.lu Health Days is to support students in their orientation process by offering them a clear, realistic, and inspiring overview of health-related study pathways. Primarily intended for students in 4e and 3e classes, this initiative aims to help young people confirm or refine their interest in medical studies, while remaining open to other levels, particularly students preparing for the secondary school leaving diploma. By combining information, interaction, and direct exchange, this day seeks to guide students towards informed study choices that align with their interests and professional aspirations.

Erstie Woche

Our programme places students at the heart of its priorities and places particular emphasis on their well-being, engagement, and academic and personal development. With this in mind, we work closely with the Luxembourg Medical Students’ Association (ALEM), a key partner representing the voice of students. We actively support ALEM in the organisation of academic, social, and cultural events, thereby helping to strengthen cohesion, the sense of community, and the overall student experience within our programme.

The ALEM is pleased to invite new first-year medical students to take part in the “Erstie Woche”, an integration week designed to facilitate meetings, foster a strong sense of cohesion among students, and support each participant in discovering their new academic environment. The programme includes, among other activities, a Med Student Talk led by senior students who will share their experiences and advice, as well as a tour of the Belval Campus, allowing participants to discover key locations essential for successful studies. There will also be several small group games and challenges, particularly with students from the Bachelor en Medecine programme and ALEM, aimed at quickly building connections in a friendly atmosphere. In parallel, dinners and evening events will offer participants the opportunity to meet in a more relaxed setting, exchange ideas, and strengthen group spirit.
