Presentation

The Cursus en Métiers de l'Enseignement en Sciences de la Vie et de la Terre (L2 and L3 CME-SVT) aims to prepare students for the integration of a Master MEEF (Métiers de l'Enseignement, de l'Education et de la Formation) after their Licence. It is a selective and reinforced course with both teaching on scientific knowledge necessary for mastering knowledge in biology and geosciences, and pre-professional teaching linked to the professions of education, teaching and training, in particular the teaching of Life Sciences in secondary schools (middle and high school).

Objectives

(1) The deepening of scientific knowledge in many fields of life sciences: genetics, molecular and cellular biology, animal and plant biology, physiology, biological evolution, paleontology, ecology, sedimentology, petrology, cartography, geodynamics, climatology, etc.

(2) Putting scientific knowledge into perspective in the teaching, education and training professions in connection with :

- societal issues (biodiversity, health, global warming, resources, etc.)

- the teaching profession (institutional, didactic, pedagogical aspects, etc.)

Admission

Target audience

The GCE-SVT pathway is intended for all students interested in teaching and popularizing SVT.

The selection in L2 CME-SVT is done on file for students having a L1 Life Sciences, L1 Earth Sciences, L1 Life and Earth Sciences, or equivalent.

The access in L3 CME-SVT is done by right for the students having validated a L2 CME-SVT at the University of Montpellier. For external students, the selection in L3 CME-SVT is done on file for students having a L2 Life Sciences, L2 Earth Sciences, L2 Life and Earth Sciences, or equivalent

Bridges and reorientation

Students in the CME-SVT program can reorient themselves towards specific programs in the Science and Technology licenses related to education, training and teaching in the first degree. They can also transfer to more specialized bachelor's or master's degrees in Life, Earth, Water or Environmental Sciences.

Professional integration

The CME-SVT program is intended to lead to a Master's degree: it does not, a priori, direct students towards professional opportunities after the L3 program.
