Preparing for the agrégation in history

The course has been redesigned to reflect the CAPES reform as well as new ministerial requirements regarding continuing education.
From now on, universities have a recognized mission to provide continuing education for secondary school teachers.
The entire history faculty is fully committed to this course, which offers both high-quality instruction and a personalized approach: 

  • Small groups of 10 to 15 students who are highly skilled and motivated.
  • The admission of high school teachers who wish to take the competitive exam, which further enhances the quality of the student body.
  • A library of high academic standing, staffed by individuals who are highly attentive to entrance exams and deeply committed to student success.
  • Faculty members who are deeply committed to the preparation process, coordinated by an admissions coordinator.
  • An in-depth overview of the topic is on the agenda.
  • Workshops on specific books or topics, featuring presentations by leading experts in their fields. 

At this stage, students can present summary sheets to their classmates.
Numerous practice sessions, alternating between individual and group work, in the form of:

  • mock exams
  •  reflections on a range of topics
  • individual and group projects.
