Bachelor in Licence - Sciences sanitaires et sociales

Sciences sanitaires et sociales, or health and social sciences, is a field of study that examines health systems, social welfare, and the policies and institutions that support public health and social protection. This Licence is offered by Université de Brest (EPE) in Brest, France. Students in this discipline typically study public health fundamentals, sociology, social policy, health administration, and the organization of the French healthcare and social welfare systems, alongside methodology courses on research and data analysis relevant to health and social questions. Graduates in this field commonly pursue further study or careers connected to public health administration, social services coordination, health promotion, and roles within hospitals, regional health agencies, or social welfare organizations. The discipline also serves as a foundation for further specialization through master's-level study in public health, health management, or social work, and can support preparation for competitive examinations tied to public sector health and social administration roles in France. The program runs for three years and begins in September, based at Université de Brest in Brest, a coastal city in Brittany, France. Instruction is delivered in French, so applicants should be comfortable following coursework on health and social policy, sociology, and administration in that language. Yearly tuition is 178 EUR, consistent with standard French public university fee levels. Brest offers a university setting connected to regional health institutions and social service organizations, which can provide relevant context for students in this field. Those interested in the intersection of public health, social welfare, and administration may find this Licence a useful foundation for further study or entry-level work in the sector.
