Bachelor of Science degree

Objectives

The Bachelor of Science degree Earth and Life sciences (S.V.T) includes a three-year course.

The licence 1 offers a set of mandatory core courses (representing 70% of the total courses) in biology, biochemistry, chemistry, mathematics for life sciences, physical sciences, and English. Optional courses (30%) allow students to explore other scientific disciplines related to life and earth sciences (examples: physiology, geosciences, or ecology-ethology).

During licence 2, mandatory core courses in biology, physiology, biochemistry, genetics, and ecology account for 50% of the courses. The selection of other courses foreshadows the path taken in the third year within the Bachelor's degree program in Life and Earth Sciences. The Geo-Ocean Laboratory plays a significant role, especially during the SE track.

Skills and knowledge

Mastering fundamental knowledge in main scientific fields,

Understanding the environmental studying methods,

Mastering different approaches with varying scales,

Develop field work methods

Carry out data collect, analyze the results and prepare various documents : protocols, activity reports...

Prepare students for their professional project trhough the teaching unit entitled "personal and professional project" [semester 5] and through a 2 or 3-months internship [semester 6].

Program content

The courses provided aim to provide students with fundamental and applied knowledge as well as methodological tools to allow them to understand the major fieds of biology both at the level of organisms and environments. To this end, the training provides students with knowledge in the interdisciplinary fields of biology, ecology and geosciences. Practical lessons and field works are particularly developed and represent more than a third of the hourly volume of the program.
This training also encourages international mobility for students who wish to validate a semester or a year in a foreign partner university (Europe and Canada).
