Presentation
The professional degree " Study and Development of Natural Spaces " (EDEN) is a year of intensive preparation for careers as senior environmental technicians in the public and private sectors. This scientific training is based on the experience and research work of the teacher-researchers of the Biology-Ecology Department (BE) department of the University of Montpellier and associated research institutes (CNRS, IRD, CIRAD), and their knowledge of the professional management environment, acquired through the expert missions they are entrusted with.
The objective of this degree is to train autonomous naturalist technicians who have a critical eye for methodological tools and are able to keep up to date with the rapid evolution of these tools. The training will involve many professionals in the environmental field.
The EDEN degree is offered in the 3rd year of a bachelor's degree, so it is necessary to have a Bac+2 degree to access it, from September to September, including an internship in a company of at least 4 months and numerous courses. In addition to the scientific and naturalist disciplines, courses on professional integration tools and the regulatory bases are taught.
The EDEN training is open to students of general Licence 2 (in Montpellier: Monod portal of the Licence, course Ecology Biology of the Organisms and Biology Ecology and Earth Sciences), as well as to technological courses (for example BTS Management and Protection of Nature), with for pre-requisite a solid naturalist basis

Objectives
Understand the methods and tools necessary for the expertise and management of natural and anthropized spaces.
To acquire a scientific culture in the implementation of protocols (rigor, relevance...) and in the capacities of evolution of the methods (self-training, use of tools of follow-up of knowledge...).
At the end of this training, students should have the skills to set up the biodiversity study methods necessary to define management plans or expert missions that are requested from public organizations (ONCFS, Parks, research laboratories, etc.) or consulting firms. This training includes an aptitude for criticizing objectives and methods.

Organization
Program
The EDEN license corresponds to semesters 5 and 6 of a Science license. It is necessary to have validated a Bac+2 training. There are many bridges from and to other license courses and other courses (IUT, BTS, CPGE, engineering schools...). Alternatively, it is possible to enroll in a Life Sciences degree at the University of Montpellier. The first two years of the program are common to the Life Sciences license program.

Capacity
The number of students in the EDEN program is limited to 20, in order to maximize the chances of professional integration.
Necessary pre-requisites
- For candidates from a general L2: examination of grades since the baccalaureate (evaluation of the last year). A grade point average >12 is a positive element. The choice of the UE of Licence will also be examined to determine the coherence of the course.
- For candidates from BTS and DUT, grades from the last semesters. The ranking in the 1st quartile of the promotion is a positive element.
