Introduction to the Licence Sciences de la Vie et de la Terre, Parcours: CUPGE "Agro-Véto"

The CUPGE Agro-Véto-ENS program is designed to provide students with the necessary training to integrate into an agricultural school (ENSA or ENITA) or a veterinary school (ENV) through the B competition, or a Normal Superior School (ENS) through the second competition.

Objectives

The CUPGE Agro-Véto-ENS program has a dual objective:

• To give students the necessary training to integrate into an agricultural school (ENSA or ENITA) or a veterinary school (ENV) through the B competition, or a Normal Superior School (ENS) through the second competition. This preparatory cycle lasts three years and begins from the first year of university. This program includes specific teaching units for each competition exam, including mathematics, chemistry, physics, French, English, and preparation for professional interviews with the jury.
• To deliver a license in Life and Earth Sciences (SVT) and thus allow students to pursue their training in masters programs offered by Aix-Marseille University and other universities.

Target Audience

The target audience for this program is bachelors.

Recommended Prerequisites

For students who wish to integrate the CUPGE in L2 or L3, it is necessary that their previous studies coincide, in terms of programs (mathematics-physics-chemistry), with the programs of the UE of the L1 CUPGE.

Teaching Sites

The teaching site for this program is:

• SCIENCES, Marseille St-Charles

Formation and Research

The training can be defined as "by and for research":

• One of the outlets of the program is directly related to research professions - agricultural schools, veterinary schools, Normal Superior Schools;
• The training is organized by research, notably through the study of scientific results that are explained and then analyzed during their scientific popularization.

Thus, the entire teaching team is made up of university teacher-researchers or agrégés-holders of a doctorate.

Knowledge to be Acquired

The program aims to:

• Mobilize fundamental concepts and practices to identify, analyze, and respond to a question in SVT: acquire a scientific and humanistic culture to lead a reflection on a contemporary scientific question
• Mobilize plural knowledge in the context of specialization
• Expose a scientific or professional project in SVT

Skills to be Acquired

The skills to be acquired through this program include:

• Resolving mathematics, physics, and chemistry problems within a limited time
• Elaborating a training project in coherence with the university course, and being able to question oneself
• Identifying, choosing, and integrating a company for an internship, in compliance with the professional project
• Writing a CV adapted to a given professional interview
• Mastering the French language for the presentation of a professional course, and for scientific communication
• Mastering the English language, both written and spoken, for scientific communication
• Defending a professional interview
• Acquiring a scientific and humanistic culture on the issues of today's and tomorrow's world
• Conducting a collaborative project: confronting ideas, planning, and sharing tasks, harmonizing content to develop a collective written and oral restitution
• Conducting an individual project: defining a question, planning the project, compiling and structuring data to develop an individual written and oral restitution
• Understanding a current topic by mobilizing scientific and humanistic culture and critical thinking
• Taking into account the historical and scientific context of emergence of a scientific article to formulate a scientific and humanistic question from the reading of this article
• Leading a reflection on a scientific and humanistic question, following the reading of a scientific article

Specific Pedagogical Modalities

The teaching is based on proximity to the competition exams, as well as on individual monitoring of students:

• The UE are centered on the competition programs and supervised by experienced and multidisciplinary teachers.
• White written and oral exams are carried out continuously
• Students are followed individually, both on their progress in disciplinary subjects and on the evolution of their professional project.

The training is thus in integral continuous control, which makes it possible to manage individual progress over the semester and the year.

The training for the competition exams is complemented by biology teaching, so that students have the necessary background to integrate any master's degree related to the environment.

Targeted Professions

The targeted professions include:

• A1303 Engineering in agriculture and natural environment
• A1504 Animal health
• H1206 Management and engineering studies, research and industrial development
• H2502 Management and production engineering

NSF Domains

The NSF domains include:

• 110F Pluri-scientific specialties (application to production technologies)
• 113F Sciences of agro-food resources
• 114C Mathematics of physics, chemistry, and biology

Professional Outlets

The professional outlets include:

• Agricultural engineer
• Veterinarians

Further Studies
