Bachelor in Licence - Psychologie

The Licence - Psychologie (Psychology) at Université de Montpellier Paul-Valéry is a three-year bachelor-level program in Montpellier, France. All teaching is in French, the program starts in September, and yearly tuition is 178 EUR. Psychology at licence level covers the scientific study of human behavior and mental processes. Students are introduced to the major theoretical frameworks in the discipline and gain grounding in research methods, statistics, and experimental design. Subject areas typically include developmental psychology, cognitive psychology, social psychology, psychopathology, neuropsychology, personality theories, and clinical approaches. Practical training in research methodology forms an important component of the three years. In France, the licence in psychology is a prerequisite for access to a master's program in psychology, which is in turn required to obtain the professional title of psychologist. Graduates who do not continue to a master's may find roles in educational support, human resources, social services coordination, or research assistance. Those who complete a master's and further training go on to clinical, educational, occupational, or neuropsychological practice. The programme is housed within a university that has a broad humanities and social sciences profile. Montpellier's large student population and access to health and social service networks in the region support practical learning experiences alongside theoretical study. Demand for places on psychology programmes is consistently high in France, and students are selected through the national Parcoursup platform. Annual tuition is 178 EUR under the French public higher education fee schedule.
