Learning outcomes

The aim of the Bachelier en Biologie, Athropologie et Archéologie (BABAr) is to provide a general and scientific university education for students in transition to a Masters 120 in Biology, Anthropology or Archaeology. 

To become a professional capable of rigorously analyzing the human being within the living world, and within historical and contemporary societies and cultures, capable of grasping contemporary global and local mutations and issues - this is the challenge that students with a BABAr bachelor's degree will take up. They will be able to navigate a world of relationships between individuals of the same or different species, who interact in the vast networks that make up ecosystems and human societies.

The aim of the BABAr bachelor's program is to produce reflective and critical graduates, well versed in the analysis of living organisms and human societies and their interactions.

Training focuses on mastering the founding concepts and theories of the disciplines involved in the program, as well as the methodological and technical tools of the humanities, social sciences and biology.

In addition, the graduate will have developed:

a multi-disciplinary approach enabling him/her to question, in a precise and substantiated manner, a phenomenon or a question relating to the field of human sciences;
an academic approach based on scientific research and rigorous, critical methodology; 
communication skills in French and a foreign language;
a way of thinking that respects ethical and civic values.
By the end of the course, students will have acquired the theoretical content and experiential practice required for the core competencies (professionalism, interpersonal and communication skills, scientific attitude, commitment to society) and the functional skills specific to the three Masters disciplines concerned.

Following the example of existing courses in the Anglo-Saxon world and in certain other countries, the aim is to bring together three related disciplines that enable us to understand the complexity of the human being. Biology deals with the anchoring of the human being in the dynamics and laws of the living world; anthropology deals with the human being as a social and cultural being; and finally, archaeology deals with the material evidence of the combined presence and action of man and nature. At a time when a new balance between humanity, living beings and the environment is crucial, this interdisciplinary Bachelor's degree aims to train students with a complex vision of the world and a creative analytical mind, to make a decisive contribution to these major issues.

On successful completion of this programme, each student is able to :

1. Master academic discourse with rigor and efficiency, both in terms of comprehension and writing.

1.1. Describe, characterize and study systematically, rigorously and critically a living being, an object, a site, a society or any theme relating to the productions and practices of past or present societies, using the specific multidisciplinary tools and methods of archaeology, biology and anthropology. 
1.2. Conduct targeted research on a given quantity of data and information, using a scientific approach.
1.3. Master a fundamental knowledge base in the fields of philosophy, history, political science, sociology, science and the humanities. 

2. Become a player in your own training; manage your work autonomously (define priorities, anticipate and plan all your activities over time), take a critical look at your own knowledge, learning methods and productions, and integrate new knowledge, methodologies and skills on your own.

2.1. Develop autonomy, set training objectives and make choices to achieve them.
2.2. Work as part of a team on multidisciplinary issues centered on biology, anthropology and archaeology, and develop interpersonal skills.
2.3. Act autonomously, as a critical and responsible actor, respectful of ethical and civic values, and with a training project designed to further personal and professional development.

3. Mobilize the skills and knowledge acquired in subject areas to develop attitudes of openness to interculturality, civic involvement and a critical stance towards oneself, society and knowledge.

3.1. Master and mobilize the fundamental knowledge (knowledge, models, theories, concepts) of archaeology, biology and anthropology at the heart of its field of study and its areas of application, to understand or analyze the human being in its various dimensions.
3.2. Understand the processes involved in the construction of scientific knowledge in biology, archaeology and anthropology, and put them into practice through research and critical thinking.
3.3. Elaborate a personal reflection by mobilizing the contributions (theories, concepts, approaches...) of the different disciplines of the program for different disciplines of the program to question and discuss in a rigorous and open way a phenomenon or a question related to the field of human and biological sciences.
3.4. Behave as an environmentally conscious scientist.

4. Communiquer oralement et par écrit de manière claire, cohérente, argumentée et fluide en anglais sur des sujets généraux ou liés au domaine d'études.


5. Demonstrate knowledge and critical understanding of in-depth knowledge in disciplines related to career choices.
