The master 60 in History, which the Bachelor in History leads directly on to, aims to build on students' methodological and critical skills 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 a field of history.

Unlike the master 120, which mixes together all specialisations, it does not include the methodological aspects of research (applied to a dissertation) and communication in history. End of study work (not accreditable in the case of later passage to a master 120) deals with addressing a question on a given subject, and does not involve resorting to first-hand sources.

Subject to prerequisites, this degree allows students who already hold a master to acquaint themselves with the methods and techniques of historical research.

The programme is made up of :
♦ core courses : 45 credits (including 15 credits for the end of study work);
♦ and optional courses (15 credits).

Accessible masters :
Master [120] in History [120.0] Direct access to the second year of the master; training includes the Dissertation and the Dissertation seminar (30 credits), one focus and the possible further trainings (maximum 30 credits).

Links to the Teacher Training Certificate (upper secondary education) :
at the end of the Master in History [60.0], students can access the 'Teacher Training Certificate (upper secondary education) - History [30.0]'.

1° Students must hold a first level university degree.

2° Provide proof of a sufficient level in French (B1 of the European Framework of Reference )

3° Students must have undertaken 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.

The 30 credits of the Minor in History [30.0] satisfy these requriements.

If the student does not have sufficient training in one or several of these subjects, prerequisites will be added to the masters programme (with a maximum of 15 credits).

If the total number of prerequisites exceeds 15 credits, access to the master is subject to the student passing the 'Preparotory year for Master in History [60.0], the programme of which is based on the student's file.

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

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.

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.

No Erasmus exchange is foreseen in the master 60.
