Licence Histoire

In addition to the transversal know-how mastered by all undergraduate students (autonomy, adaptation, organization of work, mastery of tools, etc.), the Bachelor's program in History encourages students to acquire the know-how specific to the discipline, by first providing a core knowledge of the four academic periods (ancient Greek and Roman history, medieval history, modern history, contemporary history). Then, depending on their specialty and electives, students can expand their knowledge in the fields of geography, prehistory, archaeology, the history of art and political science. By means of exercises (text or image commentaries, essays, oral presentations), they learn to use documents and draw information from them. They learn to develop their arguments, to think critically, and to write essays that present sound arguments and answer pertinent questions. These scientific and practical skills are an essential foundation for any career related to the historical field. Future opportunities are mainly found in teaching, research, documentation and cultural heritage management (libraries, archives, museums), public service, etc.
