Study objectives

From the humblest pottery fragment to the finest work of art, in other words, human material culture in all its forms, such is the objective of the bachelor's programme in Archaeology and Art History. In general, we deal with both ancient and more recent remains, both simple and prestigious objects, both monumental buildings and personal trinkets, both furniture and musical instruments, both rarities and traditional items, etc.

Besides developing the necessary qualities of intellectual curiosity and critical judgment, a student will discover how to train his visual memory, how to intensify his sensitivity to artistic realities and how to recognize technological processes. He will learn how to approach works of art and to distinguish falsifications from genuine works, by using modern investigation techniques and through the direct study of monumental and material sources. Our methods are wide-ranging : in situ examination of works of art, study of museum collections, the conducting of fields surveys and taking part in archaeological excavations, to name but a few. In this way, a student is given a general introduction to the arts and civilisations of western Europe, from ancient times to the present day.

Evaluation

The oral and written exams aim to evaluate the knowledge, know-how and communication skills of the student. Certain subjects take the form of intermediate evaluations spread over the course of the year, particularly during the first polyvalent quadimester.
