Bachelor in Licence - Géographie et aménagement

At Nantes Université, tuition costs 208 USD per year.

The Licence - Géographie et aménagement (Geography and Spatial Planning) at Nantes Université (44) in Nantes, France, trains students to analyse and understand the organisation of space and territory across physical, human, economic, and political dimensions. Geography and spatial planning degrees combine academic study of environments and human societies with applied skills in planning and territorial development. Students study physical geography — landforms, hydrology, climate systems, and environmental processes — alongside human geography covering urban development, population movements, economic geography, and the governance of territory. Cartography and geographic information systems (GIS) are taught as practical tools for spatial analysis. Planning modules examine land use policy, housing, transport infrastructure, and territorial strategy in the French and European context, connecting scholarly knowledge to professional practice in public and private organisations. Nantes, as one of France's major urban centres on the Loire estuary, is itself a site of significant urban transformation and planning activity, providing concrete examples for spatial study. Graduates move into careers in urban and regional planning agencies, environmental consultancies, local authorities, geographic information companies, and international development. The degree supports progression to master's programmes in geography, urban planning, environmental management, or GIS. This bachelor's degree lasts three years, is taught in French, and opens in September in Nantes. Tuition is 178 EUR per year.
