Bachelor in Licence - Sciences de l'éducation et de la formation

Sciences de l'éducation et de la formation, or Education and Training Sciences, is a bachelor's discipline studying how learning, teaching, and training processes work across different settings, from schools to workplace and adult training environments. Offered at Université de Brest, the field draws on psychology, sociology, and pedagogy to examine how individuals learn, how educational institutions are organized, and how training programs are designed and evaluated. Typical coursework includes developmental and educational psychology, the sociology of education, the history and philosophy of education systems, pedagogical methods, and increasingly, coursework on adult learning and professional training design, since the discipline covers both childhood education and lifelong or vocational training contexts. Students commonly study how curricula are structured, how classrooms and training sessions are managed, and how educational outcomes are assessed, along with some exposure to educational policy and the organization of the French education system. Career paths associated with this field include further study toward teaching qualifications, subject to additional competitive examinations in France, roles in educational administration, adult and vocational training design, guidance counseling, and work within schools, training organizations, or educational nonprofits. Some graduates continue into master's programs specializing in areas such as special education, training engineering, or educational psychology. The program runs over three years, is taught in French, and is based in Brest, in the Finistère department of Brittany in western France. Yearly tuition is 178 EUR. Students entering this field should expect coursework that blends theoretical study of learning and teaching with practical or observational components in educational or training settings.
