Master Histoire — Histoire européenne

The tuition fee is 292 USD per year.

The Master Histoire at Université de Lille, in Villeneuve-d'Ascq, France, includes a track in Histoire européenne, or European history. This specialization sits within the discipline of history, which studies past societies and events through documentary and archival evidence, and a European history track typically concentrates on the political, social, economic, and cultural development of European states and societies across different periods, along with the relationships and conflicts between them. Coursework generally includes historiography and research methods, along with seminars on subjects such as European political history, the formation of European institutions, social and cultural history, and comparative history across different European countries and periods. Students in this kind of program typically develop skills in archival research, source criticism, and historical argumentation, working with primary documents in addition to secondary scholarship. Given the program's focus, coursework may also touch on the history of European integration and the longer-term historical background behind present-day European political and social structures. Graduates of European history programs commonly move into research, teaching, archival or museum work, or roles in cultural and heritage institutions. Others work in publishing, journalism, or public policy positions where historical background on European affairs is relevant, or pursue doctoral study in history or related fields. This is a two-year master's degree, taught in French, with an intake beginning in September. Annual tuition is 250 EUR.
