Bachelor in Licence - Psychologie

For Bachelor in Licence - Psychologie, tuition comes to 178 EUR per year.

The Licence - Psychologie (Psychology) at the Université de Lorraine - UFR Sciences Humaines et Sociales in Nancy, France, is a three-year bachelor degree taught in French. It provides a scientific grounding in the study of behaviour, mental processes, and human development. Psychology in France is a regulated clinical profession at the master's level, but the bachelor's degree lays the disciplinary foundations shared across all the field's specialisations. Students are introduced to the main branches: cognitive psychology (perception, memory, attention, reasoning), developmental psychology (how humans change across the lifespan), social psychology (group behaviour, attitudes, social cognition), clinical and psychopathological psychology, and the biological bases of behaviour. Research methodology — both experimental and statistical — is a core thread throughout, as psychology is an empirical science. Statistics and research design courses are typically compulsory from the first year, and students carry out supervised practical work. Theoretical frameworks from different traditions — psychoanalytic, behavioural, cognitive, humanistic — are presented and compared. The title of psychologist is only accessible after a master's degree in France, so most students who wish to practice continue their studies. Other graduates work in human resources, education, social services, research, and the health sector in support roles. Competitive entry into a master's in clinical psychology or neuropsychology is the most common ambition. The programme begins in September and lasts 3 years. Yearly tuition is 178 EUR.
