How to access Health studies?

To access Health Studies (Medicine, Midwifery, Odontology, Pharmacy and Physiotherapy), students follow a common pathway: UA-PASS.

After UA-PASS, students can attend at the University of Angers:

Medicine (2^nd to 6^th year)
Midwifery (2^nd to 5^th year)
Pharmacy (2^nd to 6^th year)

Students are offered two chances to access Health Studies.

1^st chance

Either via PluriPASS: a multidisciplinary training programme

PluriPASS is a 1-year training programme that offers a progressive specialisation from a multidisciplinary core. The programme contains: Life Sciences, Engineering Sciences, Human and Social Sciences.

PluriPASS allows students who would not manage to access 2^nd year Health Studies to transfer to a 2^nd year Bachelor’s degree in another field at the University of Angers or Le Mans University.

Or via L.AS: a diversified training programme with an “Accès Santé” option

Students enrol in a bachelor’s degree at the University of Angers or Le Mans University that offers an “Accès Santé” option.
The “Accès Santé” option is an online course of 10 teaching units.

To be able to access Health Studies as a first chance, students must validate 5 units, and validate their year in their bachelor’s degree. The unit “Projet Santé” is a mandatory (16h online unit) teaching unit where students learn how to edit a CV, a cover letter and a “fiche métier” (Job description document).

Students can validate L.AS during the 1^st, 2^nd or 3^rd year of their bachelor’s degree, or during their Intensive Foundation Degree (CPGE in French).
