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

Licence - Sciences de l'éducation et de la formation is a bachelor's degree program in education and training sciences offered by Nantes Université in Nantes, France. This licence gives students a three-year grounding in how learning happens across the life course and how educational and training systems are designed and organized, drawing on psychology, sociology, and history to examine how people learn, how teaching methods develop, and how education policy shapes access to learning in schools, universities, and workplace training settings. Coursework generally covers the psychology of learning and development, the sociology of education and its role in social mobility, comparative study of education systems, and the theory and practice of training design for both children and adults, often including specific populations and settings such as early childhood education, special educational needs, or continuing professional training for adults already in the workforce. Many programs of this kind include observation placements in schools, training centers, or educational organizations, giving students firsthand exposure to how teaching and training operate day to day, and research methods and academic writing are typically emphasized as well, preparing students to analyze educational data and produce structured reports and essays. Graduates commonly pursue careers in teaching, educational counseling, training design and delivery, human resources, or administrative roles within schools and education-related organizations, and the degree also serves as a common entry point into master's-level study in education, educational psychology, or vocational training. At Nantes Université, the program runs over three years and is taught in French, consistent with standard practice at French public universities. The intake is expected to begin in September. Yearly tuition is 178 EUR, in line with the nationally regulated, modest fee level applied to undergraduate programs at French public institutions.
