Bachelor in Licence - Sciences sociales

Tuition comes to 206 USD per year.

Social sciences is a broad academic field that studies human society, institutions, and behavior using methods drawn from sociology, political science, anthropology, and related disciplines. A typical social sciences curriculum introduces students to the theories and research methods used to analyze social structures, group behavior, political systems, and cultural practices, often through a combination of theoretical coursework and empirical research training. The Licence - Sciences sociales at Universite de Montpellier Paul-Valery, in Montpellier, France, is a three-year bachelor's program taught in French, with a yearly tuition of 178 EUR, beginning in September. Students in this field commonly study sociology, political science, statistics, and research methodology, alongside courses examining topics such as social inequality, institutions, migration, or public policy, depending on the specific emphasis of their coursework. Training in quantitative and qualitative research methods, including surveys, interviews, and data analysis, is generally a core part of a social sciences degree, preparing students to conduct independent research on social questions. Graduates of social sciences programs pursue careers in public administration, social research, community and social work, nonprofit organizations, human resources, and policy analysis, and the degree also provides a foundation for further study at the master's level in sociology, political science, public policy, or related fields. Because social sciences training develops both theoretical understanding of society and practical research skills, graduates typically leave with the ability to analyze social issues systematically and communicate findings clearly, skills that are applicable across public sector, nonprofit, and research-oriented career paths.
