Presentation
L1 Life Sciences - Health, Environment (SVSE ) is the first year of the Life Sciences degree. It allows students to approach the basics of the study of living organisms, at different scales: animal and plant biology, cellular and molecular biology, developmental biology, genetics, plant and animal physiology, ecology, evolutionary biology, etc... L1 also allows students to reinforce and/or refresh their knowledge 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 course.
L1 SVSE also includes an important methodological component: scientific method and reasoning, data analysis, scientific writing of reports, observation drawings, acquisition of techniques and tools (microscope, for example).
Specialization courses are then offered from L2 onwards or in L3.
The training is carried out in the form of lectures, tutorials (TD) and practical work (TP). Each course is evaluated by continuous assessment and/or a final exam at the end of the semester. The L1 SVSE gives the right to 60 ECTS credits and allows access to the L2 SV, with different access modalities according to the course.
Open course in Health Access (L.AS).

Objectives
A generalist and multidisciplinary program, the Life Sciences degree aims to provide a complete training in the field of life sciences. The curriculum combines both fundamental and theoretical teaching and the learning of methodological tools.
The SV degree provides an integrated vision of biology. It focuses on the environment, biodiversity, biomedical research, plant improvement and health, and the understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of life.
The specialization in courses allows students to orient themselves towards the different fields 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.
- Mobilize the fundamental concepts of ecology and ecosystems to situate biological and physiological issues.
- Understand, identify and carry out independently the different steps of an experimental approach.
- Identify, select and apply a combination of analytical tools (current techniques, instrumentation) adapted to characterize organisms (from the biomolecule to the individual in its complexity) and their functioning at different levels of analysis (intracellular metabolism, biology and physiology of complex organisms, interactions between individuals and groups, interactions with the environment).
- Analyze and interpret experimental data to consider their modeling.
- Validate a model by comparing its predictions with experimental results and assess its validity limits.

Program
The first year, L1 Life Science Health Environment (LSHE), is a common core year during which the fundamental subjects for learning biology are taught (basic concepts in biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics), but also the method and scientific reasoning. It is possible to choose options (1 in the first semester, 2 in the second) to personalize one's course.
WARNING: not all combinations of options in S2 are possible, and most of the options in S1 and S2 are with a constrained maximum number of students.
To enter the preparatory courses for health studies (medicine, pharmacy, physiotherapy, dentistry, etc.), there is a dedicated portal: LAS portal. The same applies to the preparation for competitive exams in agronomy or veterinary schools: PCAV portal.

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 of 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.

This unit of instruction is designed to provide a general context for understanding Earth science and biology while considering the Humanities and Social Sciences fields. 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 necessary.
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. These will also be lessons providing the foundation for students to understand the societal issues around climate and environmental issues. The benefits of this course are essential for the well-being of tomorrow's society, enabling the training of 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 dealing with environmental risks. This course has been designed by teacher-researchers from different scientific fields (Earth and Water Sciences, Ecology, Philosophy, Political Science) showing that approaches ranging from the fundamental to the operational are necessary.

The second part will be devoted to the study of functions of one real variable: the emphasis will be on the usual functions, the graphical representation of functions, and the mathematical notion of derivative (or instantaneous rate of increase).
Most of the concepts discussed will be illustrated with concrete examples from biology.

The first objective of this teaching unit is to allow students to discover 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 of 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 unit of instruction is designed to provide a general context for understanding Earth science and biology while considering the Humanities and Social Sciences fields. 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 necessary.
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. These will also be lessons providing the foundation for students to understand the societal issues around climate and environmental issues. The benefits of this course are essential for the well-being of tomorrow's society, enabling the training of 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 dealing with environmental risks. This course has been designed by teacher-researchers from different scientific fields (Earth and Water Sciences, Ecology, Philosophy, Political Science) showing that approaches ranging from the fundamental to the operational are necessary.

This EU is divided into two parts.
The first one aims at consolidating the high school knowledge that is essential for the pursuit of higher studies in science: understanding proportionality and linearity, calculating with powers, manipulating fractions, and solving simple equations.
The second part will be devoted to the study of functions of one real variable: the emphasis will be on the usual functions, the graphical representation of functions, and the mathematical notion of derivative (or instantaneous rate of increase).
Most of the concepts discussed will be illustrated with concrete examples from biology.

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

Faculty of Science
This compulsory course is intended for all students of the Licence SV. It presents the main tools of discrete probabilities which are useful to the biologist for the understanding of random phenomena involving counting variables. The course is placed at a level accessible to a student having as a pre-requisite only the basics of probability calculus approached in high school. The course is based on concrete examples and leads to modeling.
- A first preliminary part introduces the notion of sets, operations on sets and the simple formalization of propositions.
- The second part introduces the vocabulary of probabilities and covers the elementary calculation of probabilities (tables, trees) and conditional probabilities. The examples are based on concrete situations: calculation of probabilities in a population stratified by age, gender, diagnostic tests (sensitivity/specificity)
- The third part is devoted to the presentation of the main discrete law models: binomial, geometric, fish and their applications. The notion of independent variables is presented in a heuristic way, the objective being to provide tools to compute the expectation and variance of the sum of random variables.
- Some 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 fish distribution.

Faculty of Science
This compulsory course is intended for all students of the Licence SV. It presents the main tools of discrete probabilities which are useful to the biologist for the understanding of random phenomena involving counting variables. The course is placed at a level accessible to a student having as a pre-requisite only the basics of probability calculus approached in high school. The course is based on concrete examples and leads to modeling.
- A first preliminary part introduces the notion of sets, operations on sets and the simple formalization of propositions.
- The second part introduces the vocabulary of probabilities and covers the elementary calculation of probabilities (tables, trees) and conditional probabilities. The examples are based on concrete situations: calculation of probabilities in a population stratified by age, gender, diagnostic tests (sensitivity/specificity)
- The third part is devoted to the presentation of the main discrete law models: binomial, geometric, fish and their applications. The notion of independent variables is presented in a heuristic way, the objective being to provide tools to compute the expectation and variance of the sum of random variables.
- Some 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 fish 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 discussed in detail in metazoans and angiosperms, and allows you to consolidate your knowledge of the transmission of genetic information. This will allow us to solve Mendelian genetics problems including sex and epistasis effects during the tutorials of this course.

Through this course, several disciplines will be covered in order to provide a reminder and/or the basics concerning: the Biosphere, Hydrosphere and Atmosphere, as well as and above all, their evolution since the origin of the planet. The disciplines (and major themes) covered will be
-Paleontology: Evolution, Biochronology and Geological Eras, Biodiversity and Past Crises.
-Climatology and Oceanology: How to study the climate? What is the role of the ocean and the terrestrial biosphere. Faced with contemporary global issues, tools are developed to better characterize the mechanisms of climate change and their impacts on terrestrial and marine environments from the past to the future via the modification of biogeochemical cycles on a global scale. Environmental geochemistry will be a central method to characterize both the anthropogenic and natural footprint.
The main objectives are to understand the interactions of these envelopes with the Geosphere (covered in more depth in the HAT102T geology course) and to know how to analyze a current natural landscape with respect to its evolution over geological time.

Component
Faculty of Science
This compulsory course is intended for all students of the Licence SV. It presents the main tools of discrete probabilities which are useful to the biologist for the understanding of random phenomena involving counting variables. The course is placed at a level accessible to a student having as a pre-requisite only the basics of probability calculus approached in high school. The course is based on concrete examples and leads to modeling.
- A first preliminary part introduces the notion of sets, operations on sets and the simple formalization of propositions.
- The second part introduces the vocabulary of probabilities and covers the elementary calculation of probabilities (tables, trees) and conditional probabilities. The examples are based on concrete situations: calculation of probabilities in a population stratified by age, gender, diagnostic tests (sensitivity/specificity)
- The third part is devoted to the presentation of the main discrete law models: binomial, geometric, fish and their applications. The notion of independent variables is presented in a heuristic way, the objective being to provide tools to compute the expectation and variance of the sum of random variables.
- Some 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 fish distribution.

Through this course, several disciplines will be covered in order to provide a reminder and/or the basics concerning: the Biosphere, Hydrosphere and Atmosphere, as well as and above all, their evolution since the origin of the planet. The disciplines (and major themes) covered will be
-Paleontology: Evolution, Biochronology and Geological Eras, Biodiversity and Past Crises.
-Climatology and Oceanology: How to study the climate? What is the role of the ocean and the terrestrial biosphere. Faced with contemporary global issues, tools are developed to better characterize the mechanisms of climate change and their impacts on terrestrial and marine environments from the past to the future via the modification of biogeochemical cycles on a global scale. Environmental geochemistry will be a central method to characterize both the anthropogenic and natural footprint.
The main objectives are to understand the interactions of these envelopes with the Geosphere (covered in more depth in the HAT102T geology course) and to know how to analyze a current natural landscape with respect to its evolution over geological time.

This life cycle is discussed in detail in metazoans and angiosperms, and allows you to consolidate your knowledge of the transmission of genetic information. This will allow us to solve Mendelian genetics problems including sex and epistasis effects during the tutorials of this course.

Faculty of Science
This course, mandatory for all L1 students, will present the basics of epistemology and the scientific process as well as the tools necessary to analyze controversies surrounding the sciences and the modalities presented as alternatives. It will address the scientific investigation of so-called paranormal phenomena, pseudoscience, pseudo-medicine, psychological aberrations, sectarian alienation, etc. in order to make students aware of our cognitive biases and the rhetorical manipulations that can be used to convince or deceive. The ultimate goal of this course is to ensure that everyone can make informed choices, know how to research and sort information, and be able to protect themselves from 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 a course of study on Moodle and in class, which will then be evaluated by an MCQ.

It will be followed by the L1 TEE and the L1 Chemistry.
Scientific reasoning
ECTS
4 credits
Component
Faculty of Science
This compulsory course is intended for all students of the Licence SV. It presents the main tools of discrete probabilities which are useful to the biologist for the understanding of random phenomena involving counting variables. The course is placed at a level accessible to a student having as a pre-requisite only the basics of probability calculus approached in high school. The course is based on concrete examples and leads to modeling.
- A first preliminary part introduces the notion of sets, operations on sets and the simple formalization of propositions.
- The second part introduces the vocabulary of probabilities and covers the elementary calculation of probabilities (tables, trees) and conditional probabilities. The examples are based on concrete situations: calculation of probabilities in a population stratified by age, gender, diagnostic tests (sensitivity/specificity)
- The third part is devoted to the presentation of the main discrete law models: binomial, geometric, fish and their applications. The notion of independent variables is presented in a heuristic way, the objective being to provide tools to compute the expectation and variance of the sum of random variables.
- Some 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 fish distribution.

Better use of cognitive resources for learning
ECTS
4 credits
Component
Faculty of Science
This teaching unit aims to provide students with recent knowledge in cognitive neuroscience in order to better use their brain resources to better learn, reflect, be critical of information and of themselves, and solve a problem more efficiently. The aim is to make some of the brain mechanisms involved in learning more readable in order to offer students the opportunity to take a look at their way of working and to help them choose more effective cognitive strategies from among those proposed. The course 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 sense in the class. Portraits of great and inspiring scientists will also illustrate how science advances.
Finally, aware that multiplying the sensory input channels stabilizes the memory trace, we propose a part of the teaching in the form of forum theater for those who wish to do so. This lively formula allows the student who wishes to invest in the game to be proactive in changing his or her profile as a learner and transforming him or her into an actor both on stage and in life. For those who are not inclined to act, 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 allows them to actively integrate the resources that are proposed to them.

How to register
Parcoursup platform
Target audience
High school students who have obtained their baccalaureate or equivalent, students or professionals in reorientation/reconversion.
Capacity
680 students, including repeaters
Necessary pre-requisites
The L1 SVSE is accessible to baccalaureate holders as well as to holders of a DAEU B (diploma of access to university studies - scientific option).
Recommended prerequisites
A general baccalaureate with scientific options is strongly recommended to have every chance of success. For students without scientific options or holders of a technological baccalaureate, a refresher course in scientific subjects (biology, mathematics, chemistry) is recommended before the beginning of classes. A voluntary remediation solution can also be proposed to students whose level at the end of thefirst semester is too low to allow them to succeed.
And then
Further studies
The vast majority of students, depending on their chosen path, go on to the many professional or research masters in life, health and environmental sciences. They may also choose to pursue a master's degree that prepares them for teaching competitions.
The training also allows for integration into engineering schools and further 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).
Further studies in the institution
Continuing your studies abroad
It is possible to do part of your studies abroad through the ERASMUS program and various other programs (e.g. ERASMUS-MUNDUS, BCI (Quebec), etc.). To do so, you must apply in advance, prepare your file well and have a sufficient academic level.
Bridges and reorientation
Throughout the three years of the Bachelor's degree, there are many gateways from and to other Bachelor's degree courses and other courses (IUT, BTS, CPGE, engineering schools, etc.). These gateways depend on the course chosen, so we encourage you to consult them directly.
A specific LAS portal allows students to study health (medicine, pharmacy, physiotherapy, dentistry, etc.).
A specific course (PCAV) is offered from L1 (PCAV portal) for those who wish to prepare for the competitive engineering school exams (Polytechnic common exam, agronomic and veterinary school exams).
Professional integration
Those who choose the professional path right after their Bachelor's degree are mainly destined for jobs in the field of research and development (R&D), in scientific animation or in naturalist expertise: ex. In the pharmaceutical or agri-food industry, for example, they hold positions as study managers, biologists, or quality-safety managers; in scientific activities, they hold positions as project managers for museums, departmental or regional nature parks, or as animators; they can become technicians to carry out impact studies or censuses.
The SV license also gives access to the state and local civil service competitions (categories B or C).
