Bachelor in Licence - Sciences de l'éducation et de la formation

Licence - Sciences de l'éducation et de la formation is a bachelor's degree program in education and training sciences offered by Université de Montpellier Paul-Valéry in Montpellier, France. This licence gives students a three-year grounding in the theories and practices surrounding education, learning, and professional training, drawing on psychology, sociology, and pedagogy to examine how people learn and how educational and training systems are organized. Coursework typically covers the psychology of learning, the sociology of education, the history and organization of the French education system, and the design and evaluation of teaching or training programs, along with an introduction to research methods used to study educational settings. Students learn to analyze how schools, training organizations, and other learning environments function, and they build skills relevant to designing, delivering, or evaluating educational and training programs for different age groups and contexts, from schools to adult professional training. The degree is often chosen by students aiming toward careers in teaching, educational counseling, or roles within training and human resources departments, since it combines theoretical grounding with practical relevance to educational settings. Many graduates continue into a master's degree in education, teaching, educational psychology, or training and human resources development, often with an eye toward becoming teachers, trainers, or educational advisors, while others move into administrative or coordination roles within schools, universities, or corporate training departments. At Université de Montpellier Paul-Valéry, the program runs over three years and is taught in French, consistent with standard practice at French public universities. The intake is expected to begin in September. Yearly tuition is 178 EUR, in line with the nationally regulated, modest fee level applied to undergraduate degrees at French public institutions. Students considering this Licence - Sciences de l'éducation program in Montpellier should have an interest in both psychology and the practical workings of educational institutions.
