Bachelor in Licence - Economie

Economics — Licence Economie — is a three-year bachelor-level degree offered in French at the Université de Tours (37) in Tours, France, beginning in September. Yearly tuition is 178 EUR. Economics studies how individuals, firms, and governments allocate scarce resources and how these decisions shape markets, prices, growth, and welfare. Bachelor-level economics programmes typically blend microeconomic and macroeconomic theory with quantitative tools such as mathematics, statistics, and econometrics. Students cover topics including supply and demand, market structures, national income accounting, monetary policy, international trade, and economic development. Courses in economic history and the history of economic thought contextualise contemporary theory within longer intellectual traditions. As the programme progresses, students are introduced to more formal modelling and empirical methods, learning to interpret economic data and evaluate complex arguments with rigour. Problem sets, written analysis, and applied case studies are common modes of assessment that build analytical capacity over the three years. All instruction is delivered in French. Graduates pursue careers in banking and finance, public administration, consulting, insurance, and international organisations. Many continue to a master's degree in economics, econometrics, finance, or public policy. The three-year Licence provides the analytical and quantitative foundation for professional work or advanced study in economic and social sciences.
