Presentation
The Life Sciences bachelor's degree is a generalist course, covering all the disciplines involved in the study of living organisms: animal and plant biology, cellular and molecular biology, developmental biology, genetics, plant and animal physiology, immunology, ecology, evolutionary biology, etc...
Theory is supplemented by laboratory work (in vitro cultures, dissections, etc.) and/or field work (sampling, etc.).
The curriculum includes a methodology component: scientific method and reasoning, data analysis, scientific report writing, observation drawings, acquisition of techniques and tools (microscopes, for example).
Complementary disciplines necessary to the training of any scientist are also taught: mathematics, physics, chemistry and computer science, as tools for the biologist, earth sciences, and general and scientific English.
The program begins in L1 with a single Life Sciences - Health and Environment (LSHE) portal, with options that enable students to personalize their path. Specialization courses are then offered in L2 or L3.
The 3-year course includes lectures, practical work and, in most cases, an internship, organized into teaching units (UE). Each UE is assessed by continuous assessment and/or a final exam at the end of the semester. A Bachelor's degree entitles the holder to 180 credits.
Graduates will be able to work in a variety of fields: agri-food, pharmaceuticals, biotechnologies, environment, research, teaching, etc.
Objectives
A generalist, multi-disciplinary degree, the life sciences bachelor's degree is designed to provide comprehensive training in the life sciences. The curriculum combines fundamental and theoretical teachings, with an apprenticeship in methodological tools.
The SV bachelor's degree provides an integrated vision of biology. It focuses on the environment, biodiversity, biomedical research, plant improvement and health, and understanding the fundamental mechanisms of living organisms.
The specialization of courses enables students to move into different areas of biology.
Know-how and skills
- Disciplinary skills
- Mobilize the fundamental concepts and technologies of molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, genetics, microbiology, physiology, immunology, classification of living organisms, developmental biology and evolution to address a problem in the field or analyze a research or presentation document.

Program
The 1st year, L1 Life Science, Health and Environment (LSHE), is a core year, during which the fundamental subjects for learning biology are taught (basic concepts in biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics), as well as scientific method and reasoning. It is possible to choose options (1 in the first semester, 2 in the second) to personalize your course. It is also possible to enter preparatory courses for health studies (medicine, pharmacy, physiotherapy, odontology, etc., L1 LAS), or for competitive entrance exams to agronomy or veterinary schools (PCAV course).
In the2nd year (L2), it is possible to retain a generalist approach to biology, with options to begin specialization, or to enter a specialized pathway in scientific ecology and evolutionary biology (BE pathway).
In the3rd year, students can specialize by joining 8 other courses: animal physiology and neuroscience (PAN course), biochemistry (Bioch course), molecular biology and cell biology (BMC course), microbiology (Mic course), plant biology and agri-environment (BiPA), biotechnologies, biotraceability and bioresources (BBB course), or teaching (BioME course, but also SVT-CME course within the ST license).
The list of Teaching Units for each year and portal can be found on the Faculty of Science website.
NB: there are constraints on places in the courses and for certain optional UEs, linked to our capacity to accommodate students (staff and premises).
It is also possible to take additional courses (with a maximum of 36 ECTS per semester) or, in certain cases, to have an associative commitment validated as an additional course.
Internships and tutored projects :
From L1 onwards, internships are available on a voluntary basis, during teaching periods or school vacations. In fact, it's highly advisable to have done one or more during your degree to maximize your chances of continuing on to a Master's degree.
Several courses offer long workshops or projects.

L1 - Life Sciences, Health, Environment (LSE)
L1 Life Sciences - Health, Environment (SVSE) is the 1st year of the Life Sciences degree. It introduces students to the fundamentals of the study of living organisms, at various levels: animal and plant biology, cellular and molecular biology, developmental biology, genetics, plant and animal physiology, ecology, evolutionary biology, etc. L1 also provides reinforcement and/or refresher courses in the complementary disciplines necessary for the training of any scientist: mathematics, physics, chemistry, earth sciences, and English. These subjects are taught as tools for the biologist. Students can also choose options to personalize their studies.
L1 SVSE also includes an important methodological component: scientific method and reasoning, data analysis, scientific report writing, observation drawings, acquisition of techniques and tools (microscope, for example).
Specialization courses are then offered from L2 onwards or in L3.
Training takes the form of lectures, tutorials and practical work. Each unit is assessed by continuous assessment and/or a final exam at the end of the semester. Graduation from L1 SVSE entitles students to 60 ECTS credits, and gives access to L2 SV, with different access procedures for different courses.

L1 - SVSE APP-Bio menu
The APP-Bio pathway in the Life Science Bachelor's degree is entirely based on Problem and Project-Based Learning from L1 to L3. This student-centered, active pedagogy emphasizes cross-disciplinary skills as much as disciplinary skills in Biology. These skills are developed through team activities and independent personal work. Based on cross-disciplinary case studies in each Biology unit, students are expected to formulate and verify hypotheses, drawing on scientifically reliable references. Progressive autonomy in sorting information sources will be acquired over the course of 3 years.
Teaching is mainly in the form of tutorials and practical work, with scientific lectures and consolidation courses limited to 3 hours a week. Three times a week, the group is supervised by a tutor who reviews learning achievements and guides students in their learning. Assessments are aligned with learning outcomes. Numerous self-assessments will be available each week. Biology courses are organized sequentially, integrating elements of complementary disciplines (Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Statistics, English, etc.): You have only one Biology UE at any one time, so as soon as it's finished, you finish the assessments and move on to the next one. Each year, a professionalization or pre-professionalization unit validates your progress in cross-disciplinary skills, as well as your knowledge of the year's disciplines. The course concludes with a multidisciplinary team project in science popularization and a 2-month personal project or internship.

The primary aim of this teaching unit is to introduce students to scientific ecology in all its diversity. Particular attention is paid to the definition of scientific ecology, in relation to the meaning of the term "ecology" (political ecology or ecologism) in the media and for the general public. The place of the environment in the scientific study of ecology is also clarified. With the help of tutorials and practical exercises, three major themes in ecology are covered: paleoecology, functional ecology& evolutionary ecology. It is important to note that these themes are supported by a particularly active scientific community in Montpellier.

Faculty of Science
This teaching unit is designed to provide a general context for understanding the Earth sciences and biology, while taking into account the fields of the Humanities and Social Sciences. Today's Earth is not detached from its past. To understand the impacts of environmental and climatic transformations on planet Earth, a diachronic (long time, change over time) and synchronic (spatial variations) approach is required.
Accordingly, this EU presents the history of the Earth through geological time. It discusses the structure, composition and processes of the Earth. Issues, concerns and problems related to natural hazards are also included. The lessons will also provide students with the necessary grounding to understand the societal issues surrounding climate and environmental questions. The spin-offs of this course are essential for the well-being of tomorrow's society, enabling us to train young citizens or future workers capable of analyzing, criticizing and thinking about past, present and future environmental and climate issues, and of participating in decision-making in societal debates on environmental risks. This course has therefore been designed by teacher-researchers from different scientific fields (Earth and Water Sciences, Ecology, Philosophy, Political Science), demonstrating that approaches ranging from the fundamental to the operational are necessary.

This compulsory course is aimed at all students in the SV License. It introduces the main tools of discrete probability which are useful to the biologist in understanding random phenomena involving counting variables. The course is set at a level accessible to students with only the basics of probability calculus covered in the second year of high school. The course focuses on concrete examples, leading on to modeling.
- A preliminary section introduces the notion of sets, operations on sets and the simple formalization of propositions.
- The second part introduces the vocabulary of probability and covers elementary probability calculations (tables, trees) and conditional probabilities. The examples are based on real-life situations: calculating probabilities in a population stratified by age or gender, diagnostic tests (sensitivity/specificity), etc.
- The third part is devoted to the presentation of the main discrete law models: binomial, geometric, poisson and their applications. The notion of independent variables is presented in a heuristic way, the aim being to provide tools for calculating the expectation and variance of the sum of random variables.
- A few numerical simulations can be presented to illustrate the notion of fluctuation of a random variable or the convergence of the binomial distribution to the normal distribution or the poisson distribution.

This compulsory course is aimed at all students in the SV License. It introduces the main tools of discrete probability which are useful to the biologist in understanding random phenomena involving counting variables. The course is set at a level accessible to students with only the basics of probability calculus covered in the second year of high school. The course focuses on concrete examples, leading on to modeling.
- A preliminary section introduces the notion of sets, operations on sets and the simple formalization of propositions.
- The second part introduces the vocabulary of probability and covers elementary probability calculations (tables, trees) and conditional probabilities. The examples are based on real-life situations: calculating probabilities in a population stratified by age or gender, diagnostic tests (sensitivity/specificity), etc.
- The third part is devoted to the presentation of the main discrete law models: binomial, geometric, poisson and their applications. The notion of independent variables is presented in a heuristic way, the aim being to provide tools for calculating the expectation and variance of the sum of random variables.
- A few numerical simulations can be presented to illustrate the notion of fluctuation of a random variable or the convergence of the binomial distribution to the normal distribution or the poisson distribution.

In the lectures of this course, we describe each stage of the life cycle, starting with embryonic development (including organ development, cell differentiation and growth processes), through the acquisition of reproductive capacity (including the stages associated with meiosis and gametogenesis), and ending with fertilization. This life cycle is covered in detail in metazoans and angiosperms, and will consolidate your knowledge of the transmission of genetic information. This will enable us to solve problems in Mendelian genetics, including sex and epistasis effects, during the tutorials in this course.

The brain is at the heart of human behavior. It is the body's control tower. It continuously receives a flow of information from both the external environment and the body. This information must be processed and analyzed rapidly, in order to propose an appropriate response. All these mechanisms, which at first glance appear complex, are based on simple biological mechanisms.

-Climatology and Oceanology: How is climate studied? What is the role of the ocean and the terrestrial biosphere? Faced with today's global challenges, tools are being developed to better characterize the mechanisms of climate change and their impact on terrestrial and marine environments, from the past to the future, notably through the modification of biogeochemical cycles on a planetary scale. Environmental geochemistry will be a key method for characterizing both anthropogenic and natural footprints.
The main objectives are to understand how these envelopes interacted with the Geosphere in the past (covered in greater depth in the HAT102T geology course) and to be able to analyze a natural landscape today in terms of its evolution over geological time.

In this course, we cover each stage of the life cycle of organisms (mainly metazoans and angiosperms) through a series of practical exercises covering: embryonic development (including organ development, cell differentiation and growth processes), acquisition of reproductive capacity (including stages associated with meiosis and gametogenesis), and fertilization. This series of practical exercises is combined with a series of tutorials on the transmission of genetic information.

This compulsory course is aimed at all students in the SV License. It introduces the main tools of discrete probability which are useful to the biologist in understanding random phenomena involving counting variables. The course is set at a level accessible to students with only the basics of probability calculus covered in the second year of high school. The course focuses on concrete examples, leading on to modeling.
- A preliminary section introduces the notion of sets, operations on sets and the simple formalization of propositions.
- The second part introduces the vocabulary of probability and covers elementary probability calculations (tables, trees) and conditional probabilities. The examples are based on real-life situations: calculating probabilities in a population stratified by age or gender, diagnostic tests (sensitivity/specificity), etc.
- The third part is devoted to the presentation of the main discrete law models: binomial, geometric, poisson and their applications. The notion of independent variables is presented in a heuristic way, the aim being to provide tools for calculating the expectation and variance of the sum of random variables.
- A few numerical simulations can be presented to illustrate the notion of fluctuation of a random variable or the convergence of the binomial distribution to the normal distribution or the poisson distribution.

This course will cover a number of disciplines, providing a basic overview of the Biosphere, Hydrosphere and Atmosphere, as well as their evolution since the planet's origin. The disciplines (and major themes) covered will be :
-Paleontology: Evolution, Biochronology and Geological Eras, Biodiversity and Past Crises.
-Climatology and Oceanology: How is climate studied? What is the role of the ocean and the terrestrial biosphere? Faced with today's global challenges, tools are being developed to better characterize the mechanisms of climate change and their impact on terrestrial and marine environments, from the past to the future, notably through the modification of biogeochemical cycles on a planetary scale. Environmental geochemistry will be a key method for characterizing both anthropogenic and natural footprints.
The main objectives are to understand how these envelopes interacted with the Geosphere in the past (covered in greater depth in the HAT102T geology course) and to be able to analyze a natural landscape today in terms of its evolution over geological time.

This compulsory course is aimed at all students in the SV License. It introduces the main tools of discrete probability which are useful to the biologist in understanding random phenomena involving counting variables. The course is set at a level accessible to students with only the basics of probability calculus covered in the second year of high school. The course focuses on concrete examples, leading on to modeling.
- A preliminary section introduces the notion of sets, operations on sets and the simple formalization of propositions.
- The second part introduces the vocabulary of probability and covers elementary probability calculations (tables, trees) and conditional probabilities. The examples are based on real-life situations: calculating probabilities in a population stratified by age or gender, diagnostic tests (sensitivity/specificity), etc.
- The third part is devoted to the presentation of the main discrete law models: binomial, geometric, poisson and their applications. The notion of independent variables is presented in a heuristic way, the aim being to provide tools for calculating the expectation and variance of the sum of random variables.
- A few numerical simulations can be presented to illustrate the notion of fluctuation of a random variable or the convergence of the binomial distribution to the normal distribution or the poisson distribution.

Faculty of Science
The aim of this teaching unit is to provide students with the latest knowledge in cognitive neuroscience, so that they can make better use of their brain resources to learn, reflect, be critical of information and themselves, and solve problems more efficiently. The aim is to explain certain brain mechanisms involved in learning, so that students can take a closer look at the way they work, and help them choose more effective cognitive strategies from among those on offer. The UE also offers students ways to become better scientists, by avoiding cognitive biases in favor of a rigorous, innovative and creative scientific approach. Workshops and lectures will be offered in this respect in the TD. Portraits of great and inspiring scientists will also illustrate how science moves forward.
Finally, as we are aware that multiplying sensory input channels stabilizes the memory trace, we offer part of our teaching in the form of forum theater for those who wish to do so. This lively formula enables students who wish to get involved in the game to be proactive in changing their learner profile, transforming them into actors both on stage and in life. For those who are not inclined to put themselves on stage, there is no obligation. Simply observing the play of others is a powerful awareness of unconscious mechanisms that are not at the service of their learning, and enables them to actively integrate the resources proposed to them.

Description*: The aim of this course is to consolidate the skills acquired in secondary school that are essential for the pursuit of higher studies in science (calculating with powers, manipulating fractions, solving simple equations and inequalities, identifying a situation of proportionality, graphing a function, studying the variations of a function) by solving biomathematical problems. In a teaching context, biomathematics refers to all the mathematical concepts and methods (possibly supported by computer technology) used to study and model biological phenomena. This initial approach to biomathematics will focus on the concept of mathematical function as a model for expressing relationships between quantities, in a quantitative approach to the living world. The mathematical tools used to study functions (graphical representation, notions of limit, continuity and derivative) will be addressed, focusing on real functions of one real variable, in the light of questions about the evolution of biological systems. The linear model, the exponential model, the more elaborate Verhulst model (S-curve) and, finally, the resolution of optimization problems in biological contexts, leading to the determination of function extrema, will be encountered and studied.

Organisms are living structures made up of cells that perform a number of functions, ultimately contributing to the production of new living beings. Here, we will focus on functions linked to the exchange of matter with the environment and the distribution of matter within the organism. For all these functions, the structures involved will be understood in the light of optimization by natural selection: in other words, the structures have been shaped in such a way that their functioning is optimal (notion of structure-function relationships), knowing the physico-chemical laws governing these phenomena. The contribution to the realization of functions will be addressed at different levels of integration (cell, tissue, organ, apparatus/system, organism). Its variations will be considered in different phylogenetic groups (including animals (vertebrates, arthropods, annelids, etc.), terrestrial plants and other groups) and according to different modes and environments of life (aerial/terrestrial/aquatic environments (freshwater, marine), organism size, etc.).

This teaching unit is designed to provide a general context for understanding the Earth sciences and biology, while taking into account the fields of the Humanities and Social Sciences. Today's Earth is not detached from its past. To understand the impacts of environmental and climatic transformations on planet Earth, a diachronic (long time, change over time) and synchronic (spatial variations) approach is required.
Accordingly, this EU presents the history of the Earth through geological time. It discusses the structure, composition and processes of the Earth. Issues, concerns and problems related to natural hazards are also included. The lessons will also provide students with the necessary grounding to understand the societal issues surrounding climate and environmental questions. The spin-offs of this course are essential for the well-being of tomorrow's society, enabling us to train young citizens or future workers capable of analyzing, criticizing and thinking about past, present and future environmental and climate issues, and of participating in decision-making in societal debates on environmental risks. This course has therefore been designed by teacher-researchers from different scientific fields (Earth and Water Sciences, Ecology, Philosophy, Political Science), demonstrating that approaches ranging from the fundamental to the operational are necessary.

The brain is at the heart of human behavior. It is the body's control tower. It continuously receives a flow of information from both the external environment and the body. This information must be processed and analyzed rapidly, in order to propose an appropriate response. All these mechanisms, which at first glance appear complex, are based on simple biological mechanisms.
Scientific reasoning
ECTS
4 credits
Component
Faculty of Science
This compulsory course is aimed at all students in the SV License. It introduces the main tools of discrete probability which are useful to the biologist in understanding random phenomena involving counting variables. The course is set at a level accessible to students with only the basics of probability calculus covered in the second year of high school. The course focuses on concrete examples, leading on to modeling.
- A preliminary section introduces the notion of sets, operations on sets and the simple formalization of propositions.
- The second part introduces the vocabulary of probability and covers elementary probability calculations (tables, trees) and conditional probabilities. The examples are based on real-life situations: calculating probabilities in a population stratified by age or gender, diagnostic tests (sensitivity/specificity), etc.
- The third part is devoted to the presentation of the main discrete law models: binomial, geometric, poisson and their applications. The notion of independent variables is presented in a heuristic way, the aim being to provide tools for calculating the expectation and variance of the sum of random variables.
- A few numerical simulations can be presented to illustrate the notion of fluctuation of a random variable or the convergence of the binomial distribution to the normal distribution or the poisson distribution.

Faculty of Science
This teaching unit is designed to provide a general context for understanding the Earth sciences and biology, while taking into account the fields of the Humanities and Social Sciences. Today's Earth is not detached from its past. To understand the impacts of environmental and climatic transformations on planet Earth, a diachronic (long time, change over time) and synchronic (spatial variations) approach is required.
Accordingly, this EU presents the history of the Earth through geological time. It discusses the structure, composition and processes of the Earth. Issues, concerns and problems related to natural hazards are also included. The lessons will also provide students with the necessary grounding to understand the societal issues surrounding climate and environmental questions. The spin-offs of this course are essential for the well-being of tomorrow's society, enabling us to train young citizens or future workers capable of analyzing, criticizing and thinking about past, present and future environmental and climate issues, and of participating in decision-making in societal debates on environmental risks. This course has therefore been designed by teacher-researchers from different scientific fields (Earth and Water Sciences, Ecology, Philosophy, Political Science), demonstrating that approaches ranging from the fundamental to the operational are necessary.

Better use of cognitive resources for learning
ECTS
4 credits
Component
Faculty of Science
The aim of this teaching unit is to provide students with the latest knowledge in cognitive neuroscience, so that they can make better use of their brain resources to learn, reflect, be critical of information and themselves, and solve problems more efficiently. The aim is to explain certain brain mechanisms involved in learning, so that students can take a closer look at the way they work, and help them choose more effective cognitive strategies from among those on offer. The UE also offers students ways to become better scientists, by avoiding cognitive biases in favor of a rigorous, innovative and creative scientific approach. Workshops and lectures will be offered in this respect in the TD. Portraits of great and inspiring scientists will also illustrate how science moves forward.
Finally, as we are aware that multiplying sensory input channels stabilizes the memory trace, we offer part of our teaching in the form of forum theater for those who wish to do so. This lively formula enables students who wish to get involved in the game to be proactive in changing their learner profile, transforming them into actors both on stage and in life. For those who are not inclined to put themselves on stage, there is no obligation. Simply observing the play of others is a powerful awareness of unconscious mechanisms that are not at the service of their learning, and enables them to actively integrate the resources proposed to them.

The brain is at the heart of human behavior. It is the body's control tower. It continuously receives a flow of information from both the external environment and the body. This information must be processed and analyzed rapidly, in order to propose an appropriate response. All these mechanisms, which at first glance appear complex, are based on simple biological mechanisms.

This compulsory course is aimed at all students in the SV License. It introduces the main tools of discrete probability which are useful to the biologist in understanding random phenomena involving counting variables. The course is set at a level accessible to students with only the basics of probability calculus covered in the second year of high school. The course focuses on concrete examples, leading on to modeling.
- A preliminary section introduces the notion of sets, operations on sets and the simple formalization of propositions.
- The second part introduces the vocabulary of probability and covers elementary probability calculations (tables, trees) and conditional probabilities. The examples are based on real-life situations: calculating probabilities in a population stratified by age or gender, diagnostic tests (sensitivity/specificity), etc.
- The third part is devoted to the presentation of the main discrete law models: binomial, geometric, poisson and their applications. The notion of independent variables is presented in a heuristic way, the aim being to provide tools for calculating the expectation and variance of the sum of random variables.
- A few numerical simulations can be presented to illustrate the notion of fluctuation of a random variable or the convergence of the binomial distribution to the normal distribution or the poisson distribution.

It introduces the main tools of discrete probability which are useful to the biologist in understanding random phenomena involving counting variables. The course is set at a level accessible to students with only the basics of probability calculus covered in the second year of high school. The course focuses on concrete examples, leading on to modeling.
- A preliminary section introduces the notion of sets, operations on sets and the simple formalization of propositions.
- The second part introduces the vocabulary of probability and covers elementary probability calculations (tables, trees) and conditional probabilities. The examples are based on real-life situations: calculating probabilities in a population stratified by age or gender, diagnostic tests (sensitivity/specificity), etc.
- The third part is devoted to the presentation of the main discrete law models: binomial, geometric, poisson and their applications. The notion of independent variables is presented in a heuristic way, the aim being to provide tools for calculating the expectation and variance of the sum of random variables.
- A few numerical simulations can be presented to illustrate the notion of fluctuation of a random variable or the convergence of the binomial distribution to the normal distribution or the poisson distribution.

In the lectures of this course, we describe each stage of the life cycle, starting with embryonic development (including organ development, cell differentiation and growth processes), through the acquisition of reproductive capacity (including the stages associated with meiosis and gametogenesis), and ending with fertilization. This life cycle is covered in detail in metazoans and angiosperms, and will consolidate your knowledge of the transmission of genetic information. This will enable us to solve problems in Mendelian genetics, including sex and epistasis effects, during the tutorials in this course.

This course will cover a number of disciplines, providing a basic overview of the Biosphere, Hydrosphere and Atmosphere, as well as their evolution since the planet's origin. The disciplines (and major themes) covered will be :
-Paleontology: Evolution, Biochronology and Geological Eras, Biodiversity and Past Crises.
-Climatology and Oceanology: How is climate studied? What is the role of the ocean and the terrestrial biosphere? Faced with today's global challenges, tools are being developed to better characterize the mechanisms of climate change and their impact on terrestrial and marine environments, from the past to the future, notably through the modification of biogeochemical cycles on a planetary scale. Environmental geochemistry will be a key method for characterizing both anthropogenic and natural footprints.
The main objectives are to understand how these envelopes interacted with the Geosphere in the past (covered in greater depth in the HAT102T geology course) and to be able to analyze a natural landscape today in terms of its evolution over geological time.

This compulsory course is aimed at all students in the SV License. It introduces the main tools of discrete probability which are useful to the biologist in understanding random phenomena involving counting variables. The course is set at a level accessible to students with only the basics of probability calculus covered in the second year of high school. The course focuses on concrete examples, leading on to modeling.
- A preliminary section introduces the notion of sets, operations on sets and the simple formalization of propositions.
- The second part introduces the vocabulary of probability and covers elementary probability calculations (tables, trees) and conditional probabilities. The examples are based on real-life situations: calculating probabilities in a population stratified by age or gender, diagnostic tests (sensitivity/specificity), etc.
- The third part is devoted to the presentation of the main discrete law models: binomial, geometric, poisson and their applications. The notion of independent variables is presented in a heuristic way, the aim being to provide tools for calculating the expectation and variance of the sum of random variables.
- A few numerical simulations can be presented to illustrate the notion of fluctuation of a random variable or the convergence of the binomial distribution to the normal distribution or the poisson distribution.

This course will cover a number of disciplines, providing a basic overview of the Biosphere, Hydrosphere and Atmosphere, as well as their evolution since the planet's origin. The disciplines (and major themes) covered will be :
-Paleontology: Evolution, Biochronology and Geological Eras, Biodiversity and Past Crises.
-Climatology and Oceanology: How is climate studied? What is the role of the ocean and the terrestrial biosphere? Faced with today's global challenges, tools are being developed to better characterize the mechanisms of climate change and their impact on terrestrial and marine environments, from the past to the future, notably through the modification of biogeochemical cycles on a planetary scale. Environmental geochemistry will be a key method for characterizing both anthropogenic and natural footprints.
The main objectives are to understand how these envelopes interacted with the Geosphere in the past (covered in greater depth in the HAT102T geology course) and to be able to analyze a natural landscape today in terms of its evolution over geological time.

Faculty of Science
This compulsory course is aimed at all students in the SV License. It introduces the main tools of discrete probability which are useful to the biologist in understanding random phenomena involving counting variables. The course is set at a level accessible to students with only the basics of probability calculus covered in the second year of high school. The course focuses on concrete examples, leading on to modeling.
- A preliminary section introduces the notion of sets, operations on sets and the simple formalization of propositions.
- The second part introduces the vocabulary of probability and covers elementary probability calculations (tables, trees) and conditional probabilities. The examples are based on real-life situations: calculating probabilities in a population stratified by age or gender, diagnostic tests (sensitivity/specificity), etc.
- The third part is devoted to the presentation of the main discrete law models: binomial, geometric, poisson and their applications. The notion of independent variables is presented in a heuristic way, the aim being to provide tools for calculating the expectation and variance of the sum of random variables.
- A few numerical simulations can be presented to illustrate the notion of fluctuation of a random variable or the convergence of the binomial distribution to the normal distribution or the poisson distribution.

In the lectures of this course, we describe each stage of the life cycle, starting with embryonic development (including organ development, cell differentiation and growth processes), through the acquisition of reproductive capacity (including the stages associated with meiosis and gametogenesis), and ending with fertilization. This life cycle is covered in detail in metazoans and angiosperms, and will consolidate your knowledge of the transmission of genetic information. This will enable us to solve problems in Mendelian genetics, including sex and epistasis effects, during the tutorials in this course.

This course is based on themes involving a biological problem, for which it is essential to carry out calculations and understand or draw graphical representations (mainly curves). Motivated by these biological aspects, students are expected to acquire a minimum level of knowledge that will enable them to continue their studies in biology.
Critical thinking
ECTS
2 credits
Component
Faculty of Science
This course, compulsory for all L1 students, will introduce the basics of epistemology and the scientific approach, as well as the tools needed to analyze controversies surrounding the sciences and alternative modalities. The scientific investigation of so-called paranormal phenomena, pseudoscience, pseudo-medicine, psychological aberrations, sectarian alienation, etc. will be covered, to make students aware of our cognitive biases and the rhetorical manipulations that can use them to convince or deceive. The ultimate aim of this course is to enable everyone to make informed choices, to research and sort information, and to protect themselves against techniques of influence and manipulation.
This course will be based on lectures and the viewing of various resources available on the Internet. You will be required to complete an entire course on Moodle and in class, which will then be assessed by MCQs.

The "Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of the Cell 2" course complements the "Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of the Cell 1" course, which takes place in parallel. In this course, students will put into practice and deepen the theoretical knowledge acquired in "Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of the Cell 1".
Better use of cognitive resources for learning
ECTS
4 credits
Component
Faculty of Science
The aim of this teaching unit is to provide students with the latest knowledge in cognitive neuroscience, so that they can make better use of their brain resources to learn, reflect, be critical of information and themselves, and solve problems more efficiently. The aim is to explain certain brain mechanisms involved in learning, so that students can take a closer look at the way they work, and help them choose more effective cognitive strategies from among those on offer. The UE also offers students ways to become better scientists, by avoiding cognitive biases in favor of a rigorous, innovative and creative scientific approach. Workshops and lectures will be offered in this respect in the TD. Portraits of great and inspiring scientists will also illustrate how science moves forward.
Finally, as we are aware that multiplying sensory input channels stabilizes the memory trace, we offer part of our teaching in the form of forum theater for those who wish to do so. This lively formula enables students who wish to get involved in the game to be proactive in changing their learner profile, transforming them into actors both on stage and in life. For those who are not inclined to put themselves on stage, there is no obligation. Simply observing the play of others is a powerful awareness of unconscious mechanisms that are not at the service of their learning, and enables them to actively integrate the resources proposed to them.

Recommended prerequisites
A general baccalaureate with scientific options, in particular SVT in the 1st and final years, is strongly recommended to have every chance of success. For baccalaureate holders with no scientific options, or those with a technological baccalaureate, we recommend a refresher course.
And then
Further studies
The vast majority of students, depending on the path they choose, go on to one of the many professional or research Master's degrees in life, health and environmental sciences. They can also opt for masters courses that prepare them for the competitive teaching exams.
The program also enables students to enter engineering schools and pursue studies in the medical or pharmaceutical fields. It gives access to the B competitive entrance exams for the grandes écoles (ENSA: École nationale supérieure d'agronomie; ENV: École nationale vétérinaire).
Studying abroad
It is possible to spend part of your studies abroad under the ERASMUS program and various other programs (e.g. ERASMUS-MUNDUS, BCI (Quebec), etc.). However, you need to plan ahead and prepare your application carefully.
Bridges and reorientation
Throughout the three years of the bachelor's degree, there are numerous gateways to and from other bachelor's degree courses and other curricula (IUT, BTS, CPGE, engineering schools, etc.). Specific UEs also enable students to move on to health studies (medicine, pharmacy, physiotherapy, dentistry, etc.), see LAS.
A specific pathway (PCAV) is offered from L1 for those wishing to prepare for engineering school entrance examinations (concours commun polytechnique, agronomy and veterinary school entrance examinations).
There are also gateways in L3 to professional licenses (biotechnologies, plant production, health products and cosmetics, chemical and pharmaceutical industries, health).
Professional integration
Those who choose the vocational route immediately after graduation are mainly destined for jobs in research and development (R&D), scientific leadership or naturalist expertise. For example, in the pharmaceutical or agri-food industries, they may work as research managers, biologists or quality-safety officers; in the scientific field, they may work as project managers for museums, departmental or regional nature parks, or as animators; they may become technicians carrying out impact studies or censuses.
The SV bachelor's degree also gives access to state and local civil service entrance examinations (categories B or C).
