Bachelor in Licence - Géographie et aménagement

The Licence - Géographie et aménagement (Geography and Regional Planning) at Université de Limoges in Limoges, France, is a three-year bachelor degree exploring the spatial dimensions of society, environment, and economic activity. Geography programs combine physical geography—covering climate, relief, hydrology, soils, and natural ecosystems—with human geography, which examines urbanisation, demographic change, economic geography, and territorial governance. The regional planning component introduces students to the frameworks and instruments used by public authorities and planning agencies to organise development, infrastructure, and land use at local and regional scales. Fieldwork, cartographic production, geographic information systems, and both quantitative and qualitative analytical methods form a central part of the curriculum. Students learn to read landscapes, interpret spatial datasets, and contribute to territorial diagnostics relevant to planning decisions. Teaching is in French, the program begins in September, and it runs for 3 years at a yearly tuition of 178 EUR. Graduates pursue careers in urban and regional planning, local and territorial government, environmental consulting, land management, geographic information services, and international development agencies. The spatial and analytical skills developed also open paths in environmental impact assessment, transport planning, and sustainable development consulting. Many students continue to master's programs in spatial planning, urban studies, geography, or environmental management.
