The course aims to provide students enrolled on a baccalaureate program in a different discipline with the opportunity to obtain a minimal, but sound introduction to the basic disciplines of history. Students are invited to further develop the methods they use to approach the subject or acquire new know-how.

The program is intended for all baccalaureate students, regardless of their main course of study.
