Bachelor in Licence - Physique, chimie

The Licence - Physique, chimie (Physics and Chemistry) at Université d'Artois - Site de Lens in Lens, France is a three-year bachelor-level degree taught in French, with a September start and yearly tuition of 178 EUR. Physics and chemistry programmes explore the fundamental principles governing matter and energy, and the chemical transformations that connect the two disciplines. Students study classical mechanics, electromagnetism, optics, thermodynamics, quantum physics, atomic and molecular structure, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, analytical chemistry, and practical laboratory techniques. Experimental work forms a significant and ongoing part of the degree, developing skills in measurement, synthesis, spectroscopic analysis, and scientific reporting alongside the theoretical curriculum. The combination of two complementary core sciences equips graduates with a versatile scientific toolkit applicable to a broad range of professional environments. Career directions span industrial sectors including materials science, pharmaceuticals and medical devices, energy production, food processing, and quality control and testing. Scientific research support is another common path. Many graduates pursue a Master's degree to specialise in physics, chemistry, or an applied discipline such as materials science, chemical engineering, environmental science, or formulation chemistry. Others train to teach physics and chemistry at secondary level, a path that requires an additional professional teaching qualification.
