Bachelor in Licence - Sociologie

Social life, institutions, and the forces driving collective change are examined in the Licence - Sociologie at Université de Brest (EPE) in Brest, France. The three-year bachelor's degree, taught in French and starting in September, introduces students to foundational sociological theory, from classical contributions through to contemporary debates on globalisation, digital society, gender, labour, and urban change. Students learn both quantitative methods such as survey design and statistical analysis, and qualitative approaches such as interview techniques and ethnographic observation, building capacity for independent empirical research from an early stage. Yearly tuition is 178 EUR. Brest's identity as a major Atlantic port city with a significant naval, research, and student population provides a rich social context that can give empirical work undertaken during the degree a concrete anchor. Graduates enter careers in urban planning, social policy development, human resources, NGOs, market research, education, and journalism. The ability to gather, analyse, and interpret social data is valued across public and private sectors alike. The degree also prepares students for master's-level study in sociology, social policy, urban studies, or applied statistics. Evidence-based analysis, structured argumentation, and clear written communication are the core transferable strengths that graduates carry from this programme into any professional field they choose to enter after completing their three years of study in Brest.
