A bachelor’s degree in Life Sciences at this level is an undergraduate route for students who want a broad first degree before moving into work or further study. It suits applicants who want an academic foundation in biology and related fields rather than a shorter diploma route or a taught master’s path.

The options here are all public universities, which matters for how the degree is funded and delivered. The group includes institutions in places such as Lille, Bordeaux, Angers, Avignon, Corsica, Metz, the Paris area, Alsace, Pau, Toulouse, western France and Paris; some applicants will prefer a large-city setting, while others may want a smaller regional campus. Fees are not published in the facts provided for these programmes, so they need to be confirmed with each university.

Before applying, check the admission requirements, tuition fees, language of instruction, and how each programme is structured. You should also confirm whether the course starts in the year you want, because programme-level details can differ even within the same degree subject.
