Bachelor in Licence - Psychologie

Institut Catholique de Toulouse in Toulouse, France offers the Licence Psychologie, a three-year bachelor-level programme in French, starting in September. Psychology programmes at licence level provide a scientific introduction to the study of behaviour, cognition, emotion, and social life across the lifespan and in diverse contexts. Core areas include general and experimental psychology, developmental psychology, social psychology, cognitive psychology, neuropsychology, and research methodology with a grounding in statistics and research design. Students learn to read and critically evaluate empirical research, apply theoretical frameworks to human behaviour, and conduct basic research using standard psychological methods including observation, survey, and experiment. In France, the licence in psychology is the foundation of a regulated professional pathway: practising as a psychologist requires a subsequent master's degree and a supervised professional practice year. The degree therefore serves primarily as an entry point into further study, and students build the conceptual and methodological foundations on which their specialisation at the master's level will rest. Students may eventually orient toward clinical, educational, occupational, forensic, health, or neuropsychological settings depending on their master's programme. Beyond clinical pathways, the degree also provides transferable skills in data analysis, interpersonal communication, and critical thinking that are relevant to many fields, including human resources, education, social services, and public health.
