Bachelor in Licence - Psychologie

The Licence - Psychologie at the Université de Rennes 2 in Rennes, France, is a three-year bachelor's degree taught in French with annual tuition of 178 EUR and a September start. Psychology programs at this level provide a broad scientific introduction to the study of human behaviour, cognition, emotion, and development. Core subject areas include cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, social psychology, psychopathology, and the biological bases of behaviour. Students learn to apply empirical methods including experimental design, observation, and statistical analysis to psychological questions. In France, the Licence in psychology is the first three years of a five-year training pathway required to practice as a psychologist. The degree on its own does not confer clinical qualification; students who wish to become psychologists must continue to a master's in psychology and then complete a supervised professional internship. The Licence therefore functions both as an academic foundation for further study and as a qualification relevant to support and educational roles that do not require full clinical credentials. Coursework covers psychological theory, research methods, statistics, neuropsychology, personality theory, and an introduction to clinical and counselling practice. Graduates typically continue to master's programs in clinical, developmental, work and organisational, neuropsychological, or educational psychology. Others work in social services, education, and human resources in roles where psychological knowledge is valued. Université de Rennes 2 is a public university in western France specialising in the humanities and social sciences.
