Bachelor in Licence - Informatique - Parcours Sciences Exactes et Appliquées

Informatique, or computer science, is the study of computation, software design, and the theoretical and practical foundations of computing systems. This Licence, offered by Université de Limoges within its Sciences Exactes et Appliquées track, is based in Limoges, France. Students typically begin with core mathematics relevant to computing, such as discrete mathematics, logic, and algorithmics, before progressing to programming languages, data structures, databases, operating systems, and computer architecture. Coursework often includes hands-on projects in software development, along with subjects like networks, algorithm design, and an introduction to topics such as web development or software engineering practices, depending on how the track is structured. Students build practical skills in writing, testing, and debugging code, along with a conceptual understanding of how computer systems are organized and how software interacts with hardware. Because computing skills are broadly applicable, graduates move into roles such as software development, systems administration, technical support, or further specialized study, and many continue toward a master's degree in computer science, software engineering, or data-related fields to access more advanced technical or research-oriented positions. The applied science orientation of the broader track also supports students who wish to combine computing knowledge with study in physics, chemistry, or engineering-related disciplines. This bachelor's program runs over three years, is taught in French, and is scheduled to begin in September. Annual tuition is 178 EUR, in line with public tuition rates for Licence programs across French universities. Admission generally proceeds through the Parcoursup platform, so applicants should confirm current requirements with the university.
