p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"It welcomes two types of public :

-          students who wish to take the teaching exams, primary (Professorat des écoles) or secondary (CAPES and Agrégation de Lettres classiques et de Grammaire) ;

-          and students interested in the fields of research, culture or communication, courses which require a thorough command of language, expression and argumentation as well as a good general culture.

Baccalaureate

Candidates holding a baccalaureate or a DAEU are authorised to register for a bachelor's degree.

The Licence Humanités, spécialit; Lettres Classiques, requires from both male and female students an interestérêt for languages, intellectual curiosity, an openness to different cultures and ways of life and a keen taste for antiquity.

No prerequisites are required in ancient languages.

Courses are divided into Blocks of Knowledge and Skills (BCC).    ·      

 Each semester comprises several BCCs (4 in L1, 3 in L2-L3).    ·       

The Teaching Units (UEs) that make up a BCC compensate for each other in examinations: if the average of the marks obtained for these UEs is greater than or equal to 10/20, all the UEs are considered to have been passed.   ·      The BCCs are identical (twins) in the first and second semesters of each year.

The Twin BCCs offset each other at the end of the'year : if the average of the marks obtained in the same BCC in the first and second semesters is greater than or equal to 10/20, the BCC is considered to have been acquired for the year.   ·      

Several UEs offer a choice of'courses, either from among several courses in the department, or from related disciplines (history, archaeology and art history, philosophy, modern literature).

Before registration by the Registrar's Office (BISE : Bureau d'inscription et de suivi de l'étudiant), your choice will need to be submitted to the Direction des études des Sciences de l'Antiquité , who will help you put together a pathway that is consistent with your professional goals.   ·      

In some UEs, hours of active pédagogy (PA) are added to the hours of présentiel : these are either hours of work coordinated by the teacher, or hours of independent work by étudiants[CD1] , individually or in groups.    ·      

Each validated UE earns a certain number of crécalled ECTS (European Credit Transfer and accumulation System)  the quantity; ECTS acquired validates the student's level on a European scale (one semester = 30 ECTS, a full degree = 180 ECTS).

The Licence Humanités, specialising in Classics, is based on courses in ancient language, literature and civilisation. Depending on their personal plans, students will be led to make choices between different types of teaching.
