Bachelor in Licence - Histoire

At Université de Lorraine - UFR Sciences Humaines et Sociales - Site de Metz (57), tuition costs 208 USD per year.

History as an academic discipline trains students to examine the past critically, using primary sources, secondary scholarship, and a range of interpretive and methodological approaches. Courses typically span ancient, medieval, modern, and contemporary periods, addressing political, social, economic, religious, and cultural dimensions of change over time. Students develop skills in archival and documentary research, sustained historical argumentation, and clear written analysis — capacities that extend well beyond the academic sphere. This bachelor's programme (Licence — Histoire) is offered at the Université de Lorraine — UFR Sciences Humaines et Sociales — at the Metz campus in France. The degree runs for 3 years beginning in September, with instruction entirely in French. Annual tuition is 178 EUR. Graduates pursue careers in teaching, archival and documentary services, heritage management, journalism, museum work, publishing, and the civil service. The capacity for rigorous research and clear written argument is valued by employers in public administration, law, and cultural institutions. Many students continue to a master's degree in history, archival science, heritage studies, or political science, either to enter academic research and teaching or to qualify for competitive positions in the public sector, national archives, heritage conservation bodies, or cultural broadcasting. The Metz campus of the Université de Lorraine also benefits from its proximity to major regional archives and cultural institutions, offering students practical research opportunities within the local heritage landscape.
