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.

Accessible doctoral training :
- 'Ecole doctorale en Histoire, art et archéologie';
- 'Ecole doctorale thématique en didactique du français, des langues, des littératures et des cultures'.

1° Students must hold a first level university degree

2° Student must have training including the following 105 credits :
⇒ 30 credits in general or specialised history courses, covering several periods;
⇒ 30 credits in introduction to the historical discipline and research techniques;
⇒ 30 credits in implementing theory;
⇒ 15 course credits in ancient, medieval and/or modern languages.

In the absence of sufficient training in one or several of these subjects, prerequisites are added to the masters programme (maximum 15 credits).

If the total number of prerequisites exceeds 15 credits, access to the master will be subject to the student doing a preparatory year for a Master in History [60.0], the programme of which, totaling 60 credits maximum, will be drawn up based on the student's file.

Course equivalences are submitted for approval to the chairman of the jury, the secretary of the jury and the academic faculty secretary.

The core courses in the master 120 give courses in research techniques, the scientific communication of historical knowledge and the epistemological approach to history, as well as interactive training from files covering the different historical periods in the field 'governance and societies'.

A wide range of options courses helps the student acquire more depth in the knowledge acquired on the bachelor and begin an interdisciplinary approach.

A special place is reserved for the seminar (10 credits) requiring a lot of research in libraries and in archiving centres, as well as a lot of work in documentary criticism and preparing oral and written summaries.

The masters dissertation must be personal work based on first hand sources, where the student uses the skills acquired in his training. This work is supported by the supervisor and evaluated, at the end of the first year, in terms of the detection and critical presentation of the sources and work, and the methodological approach to the subject.

In the professional focus 'History. Societies, economies and civilizations', the option is given to focus on case studies. The three other professional focuses include visits and internships in the world of work.

Finally, through its pedagogical options, the programme gives foreign students the chance to acquaint themselves with new research fields and methods, in close contact with the sources.

Written and oral exams aim to measure the level of acquisition and grasp of concepts, theories, basic data and know-how in the different disciplines concerned.
Exercises, seminars and internships (internal or external to UCL) are subject to continuous assessment.
At the end of the first year, an evaluation will assess the two preliminary stages of the dissertation (heuristic and methodological approaches to an academic subject). At the end of the level, the dissertation is marked by the supervisor and two readers.

Courses are evaluated according to current university regulations (see General Examination Regulations). Students may find further information on specific evaluation methods in the course descriptions.

If the Erasmus exchanges normally take place during the third year of the bachelor, students on the master 120 can take 30 credits in other university institutions in Belgium or abroad (in particular for the professional focuses 'History and Archives’ and 'History and the Management of Libraries') :

• Université de Paris-Sorbonne - Paris IV;
• Université de Toulouse Le Mirail - Toulouse II;
• Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster;
• Università degli studi "Ca' Foscari" di Venezia.
