Bachelor in Licence - Psychologie

Scientific study of human behaviour, cognition, and mental life is the subject of the Licence - Psychologie at Université de Brest (EPE) in Brest, France. This three-year bachelor's degree, taught in French and beginning in September, covers the main branches of the discipline: cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, social psychology, clinical and pathological psychology, and the biological bases of behaviour across the lifespan. Research methods and statistical tools are integrated throughout the curriculum, reflecting psychology's grounding in empirical science and the need for graduates to evaluate evidence critically. Yearly tuition is 178 EUR. Students learn to interpret experimental findings, conduct literature reviews, and apply psychological concepts to real-world questions in health, education, and organisational settings. In France, professional qualification as a psychologist requires a complete five-year university curriculum; the three-year licence is the first mandatory stage of that pathway rather than a terminal credential for clinical practice. Beyond clinical routes, graduates work in human resources, educational support, market research, social services, and health promotion across a wide range of public and private organisations. Brest's significant university hospital infrastructure provides a relevant applied context for students interested in clinical or health psychology, with exposure to healthcare environments possible during the degree. Master's programmes in clinical, organisational, or neuropsychology are the main continuation options following the licence.
