Presentation

The L1 TEE aims to address the major issues associated with Earth and Water Sciences from the very beginning of the bachelor's degree program. Several teaching units therefore address issues relating to resources, global change, pollution, and the evolution of the Earth and life.

The L1 TEE also allows students to refresh their knowledge in general subjects such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, and earth sciences. These course units are specifically designed to cater to the diverse profiles of students coming from high school.

Several support systems are in place to promote student integration and success at our university.

Program

The L1 TEE offers several measures designed to promote student success and overcome difficulties.

In the first semester, a specific course unit entitled " Careers in Earth, Water, and Environmental Sciences"allows students to reflect on their career plans, thereby inspiring vocations and motivation.

For students experiencing difficulties during their initial assessments, a student tutoring program will be implemented in the middle of the first semester. A master's or doctoral student will accompany a group of students experiencing difficulties.

In the second semester, two options will be available to students in the following situations:

* If a change of direction is considered, a refresher program will enable students to strengthen their level in the main scientific disciplines in 6 to 8 weeks, so that they can present these achievements in their ParcourSup file.
* If the difficulties are too great but students wish to continue at the Faculty of Science, the second semester will be lightened (10-15 ECTS instead of 30 ECTS) to allow for specific remedial work, focusing on the difficulties encountered in certain teaching units and older gaps in knowledge. This will allow students following this program to prepare for the second session of the first semester course units and spread the acquisition of first-year knowledge over two years.

Earth, Water, and Environmental Sciences

Within the Earth-Water-Environment bachelor's degree program, the main objective of the "Earth, Water, and Environmental Sciences" (STEE) track is to prepare students for admission to master's degree programs, primarily in Earth Sciences, Planets and Environment (STPE) and Water Sciences, and possibly multidisciplinary master's programs in Environmental Sciences.

And after

Continuing education

Students who have successfully completed a L1 TEE can continue on to L2 Earth Sciences at the University of Montpellier or other universities. At the Faculty of Sciences in Montpellier, the L1 TEE gives direct access to the STEE (Earth, Water and Environmental Sciences) program. It also gives access, on the basis of an application, to the CME-SVT (Life and Earth Sciences Education Professions) bachelor's degree program, for which places are limited.

A change of major to L2 SVSE (Life, Health, and Environmental Sciences) is possible, subject to availability.
