BACHELOR'S DEGREE IN ECONOMICS

Bachelor's Degree in Economics, International Track

Students can choose the international track starting in the second semester of their first year. This track includes 10 courses in the bachelor's program, two courses in the second semester of L1, then two courses in each semester of L2 and L3, which are taught in English and correspond to 10 core courses in the bachelor's program. Each student therefore has the choice of taking these 10 courses and sitting the exams in French or English, depending on the track chosen.

At the end of semester 1, students are invited to take a test to assess their level of English. Students then follow the standard bachelor's degree program, but each semester two subjects are replaced by their English equivalents.

Bachelor's Degree in Economics, Health Access Track (LAS)

In France, admission to health professions such as medicine, dentistry, midwifery, and pharmacy is based on a competitive exam (the MMOP exam, which stands for Medicine, Midwifery, Dentistry, and Pharmacy). Since the 2020 reform, the Licence Accès Santé (Health Access Bachelor's Degree) allows students to apply twice for the MMOP exam between their first and third years of the bachelor's degree program.

The Faculty of Economics offers a Bachelor's Degree in Health Economics.

LAS Economics students complete the first year of the Bachelor's degree in Economics at the Faculty of Economics. The program consists of part of the Classical Economics L1 curriculum (48 ECTS) and a Minor in Health (12 ECTS).

The courses in the Health Minor are identical for all LAS programs (LAS Law, Psychology, Life and Earth Sciences, Chemistry, etc.) and are offered by the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Montpellier. The courses in the Health Minor (lectures and tutorials) are only available online.  

Eligibility requirements for the MMOP contest:

The MMOP competitive examination is a selective examination in which academic excellence is paramount. As such, the requirements for applying to the MMOP competitive examination are more restrictive than those for completing the first year of the LAS Economics Bachelor's degree.

To be eligible to apply for the MMOP competition during the first year of LAS, you must:

- Validate the 60 ECTS credits at the end of the first session of L1 exams.

- Obtain a minimum average grade of 10/20 in each of the three courses in the Health Minor: grades obtained in other courses cannot be used to compensate for lower grades.

During the LAS Bachelor's degree program, between the first and third years, students have the opportunity to submit two applications to the MMOP competitive exam, bearing in mind that they must earn an additional 60 ECTS credits between the two applications (it is not possible to apply while repeating a year).
