2nd year of Bachelor (L2)

Geology is much more than rocks! The second year of the degree program will allow you to familiarize yourself with all the disciplines that make up the Earth sciences, from cyclones to volcanoes and from the study of fossils to that of the Earth's magnetic field. Within a human-sized cohort (less than 50 students), you will acquire a vast base of fundamental and methodological knowledge as well as applied skills, with a large emphasis on practical work (computer tools, microscopy, and more than 10 days in the field). The year includes 10 compulsory scientific subjects:

Just like in L1, the 48 credits obtained in the disciplinary subjects are supplemented by two "transversal" subjects, including English, sports, professional project development and open courses.

In addition to this core curriculum, you can opt for the optional L2 Terre+ program, which offers methodological and disciplinary reinforcement as well as a first internship to discover the professional world. This supplement to the diploma is an asset whatever the program you will follow in L3:
