Bachelor in Licence - Psychologie

Psychology is the scientific study of mental processes, behaviour, and the factors that shape how people think, feel, and act. A Licence Psychologie provides a broad grounding in the major fields of the discipline, typically covering cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, social psychology, clinical and psychopathological approaches, neuroscience and the biological bases of behaviour, and research methodology including statistics and experimental design. Students learn to read and evaluate empirical research critically, conduct observations and surveys, and interpret findings within established theoretical frameworks. Both qualitative and quantitative research methods are introduced during the degree. In France, the Licence in psychology is the first stage of a regulated academic path: access to the professional title of psychologue requires completion of a five-year programme (Licence plus a master's degree that includes a clinical placement). Graduates of the 3-year Licence therefore commonly continue to a master's programme in clinical, educational, organisational, or cognitive psychology. Non-clinical career paths include roles in human resources, social services, education, market research, and health communication and public awareness.
