BACHELOR IN BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES

The Life Sciences degree offered by the FGES is a very complete course that provides a great deal of knowledge, on all life sciences and food as well as on personal development and the business world.

The specialization in Bachelor 3 is an undeniable plus which facilitates the pursuit of studies.

For my part, I took the Engineering option which allowed me to enter an agrifood engineering school, ISARA Lyon, by way of apprenticeship because I wanted to maintain this relationship with the company that I really appreciated during the various internships carried out during the degree.

What I appreciate from the FGES and this course is the availability of the professors, the numerous practical projects which provide enrichment through practicing the knowledge learned in class, and finally the general atmosphere of the faculty with many associations and very active student bodies.”

Since I was little, I dreamed of doing biology. The Life Sciences degree offered by GHEF with its general curriculum the first two years and specialization in the third year allowed me to refine my choices over the years. In Bachelor 3, I went to study at the Warsaw University of Life Sciences, in Warsaw, Poland. This experience allowed me to affirm myself, both personally and professionally, and gave me access to the university I wanted for my Masters. I acquired a lot more autonomy, and the Erasmus atmosphere (of openness and tolerance) helped me to make a lot of friends at international level with whom I still keep in touch. Being quite nervous and shy by nature, I think I can say that this exchange allowed me to “free myself”. I gained confidence.
Contact with a foreign university like the WULS also allowed me to discover other teaching methods and classes with 2 or 3 students that allowed us to work on the machines (such as a confocal microscope for example) that we could never have done in a full class.
On returning from Poland, I was accepted into a Master 1 in Molecular and Cellular Biology at the Sorbonne University.

I decided to enrol on a Life Sciences degree in order to become a teacher in SVT.

After a year in the BCPST preparatory class and a year in the Veterinary Faculty, I joined the FGES in Bachelor 2. I immediately connected with the entire teaching team: they listen to us, they help us and they guide us in the rest of our studies.

But there are, in my opinion, 2 really major advantages to this degree.

The first is the small size of the class (all specializations combined, around 50 students from Bachelor 2): we all know each other and the atmosphere is great, both in and outside class!

The second is the important continuous follow up, which allows us to stay on top of things all year round.
Currently in Master 1 MEEF, in order to prepare the CAPES to become a teacher, I can say that the degree has prepared me well!
