Master in History [120.0] - HIST2M

The two years of the master 120 in History, which the Bachelor in History leads directly on to, aim to give the student more in-depth training in methodology and criticism when it comes to detecting and implementing information, and applying it more specifically to a period (ancient times, middle ages, modern times, contemporary period) or to a field of history, with a view to reaching a personal summary on a given subject (masters dissertation).

The course helps the student develop skills in gathering information, critical analysis and implementing both.

Through its different focuses, the degree prepares students for careers in teaching, research, promoting local heritage, management and documentary conservation.

The programme is made up of :
♦ core courses (75 credits), made up of :
- one dissertation and accompanying seminar;
- courses on research techniques;
- case studies in the field 'gouvernance et sociétés';
♦ one focus (30 credits);
♦ and one option or optional course (15 credits).

Other accessible masters :
- at the end of the master 120, each focus of the master in History can be obtained in a new year of 30 credits only;
- where the student has not taken the teaching focus, teacher training of 30 credits can be followed after a research focus or professional focus master.

Accessible doctoral training :
- 'Ecole doctorale en Histoire, art et archéologie';
