Because the right orientation is the key to success, the USMB has developed a wide range of resources to help all its students choose the right academics, the right pace (academics or alternance) and the right environment. The SUIO-IP is at your side to guide and support you in your orientation and professional integration.

personalized support
The guidance counsellors at the Service Universitaire d'Orientation et d'Insertion Professionnelle (SUIO-IP) help you to gradually build up your plans (course of study at academics, reorientation, personal and professional project), from the moment you arrive at university.
Individual and confidential interviews are offered on all 3 campuses, where you will be guided and supported in the construction of your academic and professional project. Guidance counsellors will help you define your goals and a strategy for achieving them.
Having an interview with a guidance counselor is not synonymous with failure. On the contrary, it's about putting all the chances on your side to succeed in your career in the best possible conditions!

reorienting
You're taking your first steps at university and find that your chosen academics or study format doesn't suit you.
Don't think of reorientation as a failure, but rather as a new beginning! It's an opportunity to take a step back. It can be a richly instructive experience that can help you get to know yourself better, and open up new perspectives not previously considered.
To find out more about the courses open to reorientation and the bridges available, visit the SUIO-IP. We'll be happy to help you with your application.

- What are my strengths?
- What framework do I need to succeed?
- Who can I talk to about my project?
- What can I do now to prepare for my reorientation?
