Bachelor in Licence - Economie

The Licence — Economie at Université Clermont Auvergne in Clermont-Ferrand, France, is a three-year bachelor's program covering the theoretical and applied dimensions of economics. Students are introduced to microeconomics — examining the behavior of individuals, firms, and markets — and macroeconomics, which addresses national income, employment, price levels, and economic growth. Quantitative methods, statistics, and mathematics are integral analytical tools developed throughout the program, and students are introduced to econometrics for working with economic data. Courses in economic history, development economics, industrial organization, monetary economics, and public finance progressively broaden the theoretical framework. The program also encourages engagement with contemporary policy debates, connecting theory to real-world economic questions. Instruction is in French. Graduates pursue careers in public administration, banking, insurance, economic consulting, international organizations, and businesses requiring quantitative analysis. Continuation to a master's degree in economics, finance, actuarial science, or economic policy is a common path, as is preparation for competitive civil service examinations. The program begins in September and runs for 3 years. Tuition is 178 EUR per year.
