Orientation and reorientation

The SCUIO-IP supports you in developing your project, from building your training path to finding employment. It also supports you in changing career paths.

Are you a student at the University of Montpellier but unsure if you're on the right track? Don't panic!

If the course you initially chose at university does not meet your expectations, the university system allows you to change direction during both your bachelor's and master's degrees. To develop a new study plan, it is important to discuss this with your professors and career advisors as soon as possible.

To help you consider a change of direction and support you in developing your career plan, the National Education Psychologists (PsyEN) at SCUIO-IP offer personalized assistance.

How can I change my major during my bachelor's degree?

In your first year of study, if you wish to switch to another program, you have two options:

• You can change your major during the first semester
  You can request to change to another major or even another degree program for the second semester of your first year. Contact your academic advisor and the National Education Psychologists (PsyEN) at SCUIO-IP to find out about all the options and resources available to you. You will probably need to validate certain courses from the first semester of your new program.
• You can validate your year and choose another program for the next academic year
  From the second semester of L1 onwards, you can no longer change programs during the academic year. Instead of dropping out of your program, you can also validate your current year. This will allow you to redirect your career path while maintaining the same level of study (L1, L2, L3).
  To better develop your career plan, contact the National Education Psychologists (PsyEN) at SCUIO-IP.
