Bachelor in Licence - Sciences pour la santé

Licence - Sciences pour la santé is a bachelor's degree program in health sciences offered by Université de Caen Normandie in Caen, France. This licence provides a scientific foundation in the biological and chemical principles underlying human health and disease, and coursework typically covers human anatomy and physiology, cell biology, biochemistry, genetics, and general chemistry, building the scientific base needed to understand how the human body functions and how disease processes develop. Programs of this kind generally combine lecture-based instruction with laboratory work, where students study biological and chemical processes directly through experiments and practical exercises, and statistics and research methods are usually introduced as well, since health sciences increasingly rely on data analysis to evaluate treatments, study disease patterns, and interpret clinical or laboratory results. Some coursework may also touch on public health topics, such as how health systems are organized or how disease spreads through populations, giving students a broader view of health beyond individual biology. This type of degree is often structured as a foundation track that can lead toward more specialized study, since many health professions in France require this kind of preparatory scientific grounding before students specialize further into fields such as medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, or allied health professions. Graduates or continuing students from this background typically move toward further study in medical, paramedical, or biological fields, or into laboratory and research roles that draw on the biological and chemical foundation built during the degree. At Université de Caen Normandie, 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 programs at French public institutions.
