Master Histoire — Mondes antiques

For Master Histoire — Mondes antiques, tuition costs 250 EUR per year.

The Mondes antiques track of the Master Histoire at Sorbonne Université, located in Paris, France, concentrates on the history of ancient civilizations, typically spanning societies such as ancient Greece, Rome, and neighboring cultures of antiquity. As part of the broader discipline of history, this specialization trains students to interpret primary sources including inscriptions, literary texts, and archaeological evidence, alongside modern historiography, to reconstruct the political, social, economic, and cultural life of ancient societies. Students commonly study subjects such as ancient political institutions, social structure and daily life, religion and mythology, warfare, and the economic organization of ancient states, often working closely with source languages such as Greek or Latin. The field places particular emphasis on philological and epigraphic skills alongside standard historical methods of source criticism and argumentation. Graduates of ancient history programs frequently pursue careers in education, museums and heritage institutions with classical or archaeological collections, archives, and publishing, while many continue into doctoral research given the specialized language training the field requires. Some also move into cultural heritage management or roles connected to archaeological and classical studies more broadly. This is a two-year master's degree delivered in French, in keeping with the program's location at a university in Paris. The intake is scheduled for September, with tuition set at 250 EUR per year, matching standard public master's tuition in France. Prospective students should have a strong foundation in ancient history and, generally, some competence in classical languages relevant to the study of antiquity.
