Bachelor in Licence - Histoire

Tuition fees for Bachelor in Licence - Histoire are 208 USD per year.

Université Jean Monnet - Saint Etienne (42) in Saint-Étienne, France, offers a Licence - Histoire (History) that surveys the major periods and themes of human history from antiquity to the contemporary era, with a strong emphasis on the methods and tools of historical research. Students are trained to locate, read, and evaluate primary sources — archival documents, material artefacts, visual sources, and oral testimony — and to situate them within wider historiographical debates. The programme covers political, social, economic, cultural, and intellectual history, with attention to both French and world history. Thematic courses may address the history of institutions, conflicts, colonialism, migration, or gender, among other areas. Methodological training and sustained written argumentation are developed throughout the three years, producing a form of critical communication applicable well beyond historical research and valued by employers across many sectors of the economy and public life. History graduates pursue careers in teacher training (CAPES, agrégation), research and university teaching, heritage and museum work, archival management, journalism, publishing, and public administration. Postgraduate options include master's programmes in history, heritage studies, cultural management, or archival science. This three-year bachelor's degree is taught in French and begins in September in Saint-Étienne. Annual tuition is 178 EUR.
