(see: http://sciences.univ-‐amu.fr/CTES) In order not to make any mistake, please note that: • For any Bachelor’s Degree, specialities may be available on one or two campuses only. You must therefore select you campus according to the specialty you want to have as your major. N.B.: when a specialty is available on several campuses, it is not necessary to apply for each campus, as the decision to accept you or not will be the same whichever the campus (for more details about the specialties and sites, see http://sciences.univ-‐amu.fr/Licences_2014). • Each professional Bachelor’s Degree is on one campus only. N.B.: a few of these professional degrees are not taught in Marseille but in distant cities (see http://sciences.univ-‐amu.fr/licence-‐pro). • Conversely, a few Master’s Degrees (1st or 2nd year) may be available on two campuses (see: http://sciences.univ-‐amu.fr/masters). 14 This page is the one you reach once you have made your choice.
