Celine BERTRAND — — Head of mention

Aims

After a first year in the scientific portal Louis Pasteur, the last two years of the Life and Earth Sciences (SVT) degree have the pedagogical objective of meeting four key competences, which guide all the courses that the students follow: observe, analyse, act, transmit.

Observe: knowing how to master the techniques of observation and experimentation and the materials specific to the different disciplines taught.

Analysing: knowing how to make critical arguments on the basis of robust, reliable and objective analyses.

Act: learn the reality of the different sectors of activity in the environmental sciences in order to have all the bases to enter directly into professional life or to enter a master's degree or an engineering school.

Transmit : To know how to present scientific information both in writing and orally, adapting one's speech to the audience concerned, in accordance with the expectations of the future professions aimed at, whether this concerns the core of the subject (teaching) or in the context of collaborative work (research, consultancies).

Targeted students

&Students with a good scientific background. Bachelor's degree with scientific specialities.

Admission conditions

Entrance on title for holders of the baccalaureate or equivalent (DAEU, foreign diplomas after advice from the educational commission) or by VES or VAP. Selection on the basis of a portfolio for candidates for the CUPGE Agro-Veacute to course and for candidates for the CMI Environmental Engineering and CMI Geology of resources and sustainable development.

Structure and organisation

The SVT licence starts with the same portal « Pasteur » of L1 as the Life Sciences (SV), Health and Social Sciences (SSS) and Chemistry licences. This portal allows to consolidate the scientific bases of the high school and to present the diversity of the disciplines and methods developed in the courses.

The mention begins therefore with the first year of the degree.

The mention thus begins in L2 with its different courses, but with a notable mutualisation on a disciplinary and methodological level to achieve the objectives of common competences of the mention.

Knowledge to be acquired

Firstly, to reinforce (L1) the scientific bases of the high school, then to acquire the theoretical bases of the various disciplines covered by the Pasteur portal and finally, to begin to learn the general functioning of the planet and its ecosystems, as well as to understand how the world works; Learn the general functioning of the planet and its ecosystems as well as the methods of study that will be developed in the courses.

Then, either deepen in targeted pathways (L2-L3) one's knowledge in one of the major fields of environmental sciences through classical, modern and merging techniques, or maintain the multidisciplinarity necessary for the development of the environmental sciences;This can be done by either studying for a degree in environmental studies or preparing for teaching competitions (primary or secondary in SVT) or entering veterinary and agronomy schools on specific courses.

Familiarise yourself throughout the course with the experimental and field approach, to better assimilate the theoretical teachings and methods of analysis used in environmental sciences.

Professional skills to be acquired

Constitute and structure a cultural background in environmental sciences allowing to pose and answer transdisciplinary problems in life and earth sciences by relying on the knowledge of fundamental disciplines.
Do you have a scientific approach to ask questions through careful observation?
Develop a scientific approach to answer a question through the methodical observation of natural objects in the field or in the laboratory, and through the processing and critical interpretation of data.
Present scientific knowledge or work in a structured manner, either orally or in writing, by mastering (in French) and using (in English) a vocabulary of the Life and Earth Sciences adapted to the target audience.
Conduct and carry out, individually or collaboratively, a scientific project in the field of the Environment on the basis of bibliographic, field or laboratory data.
Identify and understand the problems of professional circles confronted with major environmental issues, by mobilising one's fundamental, methodological and technological knowledge in SVT.

Internships and supervised projects

Students are encouraged to do internships during their holiday periods. These internships may give rise to a bonus for the following semester, in agreement with the year head.

Professional integration rate

Seeked careers

Even though cases are still rare at present, the training allows one to apply for the various competitions for technicians or assistant engineers in public bodies or to apply for positions focusing on the environment at senior technician level, such as protection and preservation of the natural heritage officer, technician manager of the environment, etc;This course is designed to enable students to apply for positions in the environmental field at the level of senior technician, such as, for example, agent in charge of the protection and safeguarding of natural heritage, technician in charge of studies, or in charge of studies in a research office, in charge of scientific communication.

Professional careers are much more important and varied at the end of a master's degree or after a college degree.

Continuing studies

The main aim of the Life and Earth Sciences degree is to enable students to continue their studies in the numerous masters programmes focusing on the environment, both in France and abroad (masters in Environmental Management, Biodiversity, Biology and Evolution, Earth and Planetary Sciences, Environment and Marine Sciences within Aix-Marseille universit;The students can also choose to study for a Master's degree in Environmental Management, Biodiversity, Biology and Evolution, Earth and Planetary Sciences, Environment and Marine Sciences at Aix-Marseille University, or to go on to engineering studies in the same field.The multidisciplinary courses of the licence allow students to enter the MEEF masters courses preparing for teaching or the master's degree in scientific and technical information and communication, or to prepare for entry into veterinary and agronomy schools.Some courses allow students to enter various professional licences in the field of landscaping and the environment at the end of their L2;nagement paysager, Productions végétales (VACOREV) and Métiers de la protection et de la gestion de l'environnement (ECO-RSE) within Aix-Marseille université.

Partners

The development council includes actors from the socio-economic world involved in the masters and professional licences towards which the SVT licence leads. The socio-economic world is represented in particular by the Syndicat d'Amacute;nagement du Bassin de l'Argens, Agir Ecologie, BRGM, and GIPREB.

The socio-economic world is represented by the Syndicat d'Amacute;nagement du Bassin de l'Argens, Agir Ecologie, BRGM, and GIPREB.

Actors from the socio-economic world also intervene in courses for which we do not have the professional skills in-house. They come from public institutions and the social and solidarity economy sector in charge of managing the environment and natural spaces or concerning the city and health sector.

Support for your academic achievement

A unit of L1 of methodology applied to sciences will help the student in his learning. Each year, a professional project unit will help the student to think about his project, to acquire the fundamental notions for the search for an internship or a job, but also to follow the acquisition of his skills.

Support for your academic choices

The SVT licence participates in the policy of the UFR Sciences for orientation through its participation in orientation fairs, the ONISEP videoconferences with the high schools of the académie, the Tchats de l'orientation initiated by the SUIO, the active orientation that existed in APB…

The incoming orientations, mainly in L2 and L3, of students coming from PACES, CPGE, BTS, IUT or other licences are studied on files with benevolence.

Support for your studies abroad

The SVT degree has had a voluntarist policy since its creation to send its students on international exchanges in L3 mainly via ERASMUS but also via the BCI thanks to an ongoing relationship with the University of Quebec in Rimouski.
