Bachelor in Double licence - Sciences de la vie / Chimie -

Tuition fees are 208 USD per year.

Double licence - Sciences de la vie / Chimie is a bachelor's degree program offered by Université Côte d'Azur in Nice, France, combining two related scientific disciplines: life sciences, which studies living organisms from the molecular to the ecosystem level, and chemistry, which studies the composition, structure, and reactions of matter. Life-sciences coursework typically covers cell biology, genetics, physiology, ecology, and evolution, while chemistry coursework usually covers general, organic, and physical chemistry, along with laboratory methods for analyzing chemical composition and reactions. Students following a double degree of this kind generally complete a heavier course load than a single-subject licence, since they study both disciplines in parallel rather than choosing one, and the overlap between biology and chemistry is substantial, particularly in areas such as biochemistry, molecular biology, and pharmacology, where understanding chemical processes is essential to understanding how living systems function. Laboratory work is a significant part of both subjects, so students spend considerable time developing practical skills in experimental design, data analysis, and safe handling of biological and chemical materials. This combined foundation is intended to prepare students for fields that sit at the intersection of biology and chemistry, rather than committing early to one discipline alone. Career paths connected to this background include research in biochemistry or pharmacology, work in pharmaceutical or biotechnology industries, environmental science, and further study at the master's level in biochemistry, molecular biology, or chemistry. At Université Côte d'Azur, the program runs over three years and is taught in French, consistent with standard practice at French public universities. The intake is expected to begin in September. Yearly tuition is 178 EUR, in line with the nationally regulated, modest fee level applied to undergraduate programs at French public institutions. Students considering this program in Nice should expect a demanding, laboratory-heavy course load across both disciplines.
