College of Human Sciences

Updated on: 30/01/2023

The College of Human Sciences is made up of five faculties: anthropology, psychology, educational science, sociology and sports science (STAPS).

The College of Human Sciences includes five training components (anthropology, psychology, educational science, sociology and STAPS (physical and sporting activity sciences and techniques)), as well as affiliated professionalisation entities (Training Centre for school psychologists, Gironde childhood network, Training Centre for Applied Social Sciences, University Centre for international professionalised training in sports and business management - Bayonne). It also has cross-disciplinary facilities: the department of languages and cultures, continuing education department, centre for IT and teaching resources, and the Sports office.

The College of Human Sciences offers some sixty initial or professional training programmes, mainly in the field of human and social sciences, with a range of subjects that goes beyond that single field (biology, physiology, languages, etc.). The programmes are aimed at students, recent secondary school graduates, returning students and those in continuing education seeking knowledge and skills in these fields, applied to education, health, work/company life, urban/social/migratory issues, sports activities/practices, social work, etc. The courses are backed by research carried out in laboratories where the College's lecturer-researchers work (Emile-Durkheim Centre, Laboratory of health, psychology and quality of life, LACES (Laboratory of cultures – education – societies), ADESS (Laboratory for planning, development, environment, health and societies, LAM (Africa Worldwide), and the University Hospital Institute LIRYC (Electrophysiology and Heart Modelling Institute)).

The College of Human Sciences is located on three sites, combining the advantages of urban centrality (Victoire campus), proximity to sports facilities south of the city (Pessac campus) and a cross-border location (Bayonne campus).
