Institut d'urbanisme et de géographie alpine

Three professional undergraduate degrees

IUGA offers three professional bachelor’s degrees (licences professionnelles), which are taught at the Cermosem campus in the department of Ardèche:

• Social and Human Sciences - Tourist Guiding
• Protection and Promotion of Historical and Cultural Heritage - Heritage Tourism Product Design
• Protection and Promotion of Historical and Cultural Heritage - Natural Attractions and Recreational Spaces Management

These programs are managed by Pascal Mao.

These professional licenses are available in initial, continuing and alternating training. 
The alternation is done by contracting over 12 months between a reception structure (company, community, association ...) and The Cermosem, with about 1200 hours in structure for 400 hours in the centre. 
For initial and continuous training, a 12-week internship is required.
These trainings aim to give you the tools, techniques, methods and knowledge necessary for your entry into the job market. The 12 weeks of internship or 36 in companies allow you to put your skills into practice and develop many skills in professional situations.
