Bachelor in Licence - Sociologie

Tuition is 178 EUR per year.

Université de Montpellier Paul-Valéry in Montpellier, France offers the Licence - Sociologie (Sociology) as a three-year bachelor degree taught in French. It begins in September with an annual tuition of 178 EUR. Sociology is the study of human societies, social structures, group behavior, and the forces that shape collective life. A licence in sociology introduces students to founding theorists and contemporary debates, and develops their capacity to design and carry out empirical research. Core areas typically include social stratification, family and kinship, work and organizations, deviance and social control, migration, urban sociology, and quantitative and qualitative research methods including statistics, surveys, and interviews. The skills developed through sociological study transfer across a wide range of professional contexts. Graduates work in social services, public health, urban policy, human resources, non-governmental organizations, market research, and journalism. Others continue to master's programs in sociology, social work, public policy, education sciences, or criminology. The research training component of the licence is particularly valued by employers seeking analysts and project coordinators in the public and voluntary sectors. Montpellier is a large university city in southern France with a socially and demographically diverse population, providing a lively environment for sociological observation and fieldwork. Université de Montpellier Paul-Valéry specializes in humanities and social sciences, and the programme's teaching team reflects broad coverage of the discipline's subfields. Instruction runs entirely in French across all three years.
