Bachelor in Licence Sciences de la Terre

Students in the Licence Sciences de la Terre at Université de La Réunion can participate in missions led by faculty on the Piton de la Fournaise or the Piton des Neiges, gaining hands-on experience in geophysics and/or geodesy in situ.

The programme covers a wide range of disciplines including geology, geophysics, geochemistry, and environmental science. The curriculum includes foundational courses in tectonics, geodynamics, sedimentology, and geochronology, with an emphasis on practical application and fieldwork. Students can pursue specializations in fields like geoengineering, cartography, and resource management.

Specialising in tropical and volcanic environments, the programme prepares students for careers in environmental management, resource exploitation, and risk assessment. Graduates of the Licence Sciences de la Terre are equipped to work as technicians in labs, consultancies, and local governments, or to pursue further studies in fields like hydrology, geophysics, and atmospheric physics.
