Bachelor in Licence - Psychologie

The Licence Psychologie at Nîmes Université in Nîmes, France is a three-year bachelor programme beginning in September, with yearly tuition of 178 EUR. Instruction is in French. Psychology at the licence level covers the scientific study of human behaviour, cognitive processes, emotional functioning, and social interaction across the lifespan and in varied cultural contexts. Core courses typically address general and experimental psychology, cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, social psychology, neuropsychology, and research methods including statistics and experimental design. Students gain familiarity with major theoretical frameworks and learn to evaluate empirical research critically, developing the methodological literacy that underpins all subsequent specialisation in the field. Practical work — including introductory observation periods and laboratory exercises — complements the theoretical content and gives students early experience with psychological inquiry. In France, the licence in psychology is the first stage of a regulated professional pathway: practising as a psychologist requires completion of a master's degree in psychology and a supervised professional practice year. The licence alone opens some pathways in education, social services, or human resources, but most students continue their studies toward a master's. Graduates who pursue advanced study move toward specialisations such as clinical psychology, neuropsychology, educational psychology, organisational psychology, or health psychology, depending on their professional aims.
