Pedagogical approach

Our teaching methods revolve around three main linchpins:

1. GENERAL COURSES

Teaching units dedicated to the major disciplines of human and social sciences (philosophy, psychology, sociology, history, economics, law, linguistics…) form the intellectual and university basis for training, rounded off by the study of artistic forms.

The teaching given is scientific which however is different from that given by the University as it has an inductive approach.

The faculty is composed of Doctors and active professionals.

2. LANGUAGE AND EXPRESSION COURSES

Development of language skills (written and oral communication) in French, English and Dutch (or German as the need may be), as well as the theory and practice of narration and argumentation (rhetoric) are also at the core of the IHECS training.

Foreign language courses given for the baccalaureate are progressively replaced by content courses (in a foreign language) which are adapted for professional sectors specifically selected by the department and/or the student.

This opening for multilingualism is reinforced by numerous possibilities of study sojourns and placements abroad.

3. MEDIA COURSES & WORKSHOPS

IHECS is decisively adding media apprenticeships to the usual training in communication components. This third component fully justifies the applied communication qualification for our teaching.

Without demanding for all that that he becomes a media technician, the student should learn to get to know and master subtleties belonging to these different languages.

In the bachelor years, different teaching units integrating knowledge and practical and theoretical savoir-faire will enable him to approach and acquire principles as well as the appropriate techniques:

  • Fixed image (photography, graphics and infographics)
  • Moving image (TV/video), sound and radio
  • Web and multimedia

Depending on the chosen Master degree, the production workshops, the thesis and the master classes will enable students to perfect their skill set related to communication and media.
