Teaching method

The core courses on the Master 60 give an introduction to research, as well as interactive classes, based on dossiers, covering the various historical periods in the field 'Gouvernance et sociétés '.
A special place is reserved for the seminar (10 credits) which calls for a lot of research in libraries and archive centres, as well as substantial work in documentary criticism and preparation of an oral and written summary.
A large selection of optional courses allows the student both to gain more depth in the knowledge acquired in the bachelor programme and begin a cross-disciplinary approach.

Written and oral exams aim to measure the level of acquisition and grasp of basic concepts, theories, basic data and know-how in the different fields in question.
The exercises and seminars are the subject of continuous assessment.
The end of study work is marked by the supervisor and two readers.
