Lessons learned

This double degree takes 3 years to complete. Students follow a set of courses in both fields:

• In History: from the ancient Greek world to the history of the Middle East in the 20th century, via the France of Louis XIV, a Bachelor of History student embraces multiple centuries and civilizations in three years.

At university, the study of history is divided into four main periods (Antiquity, the Middle Ages, the Modern Era and the Present). Each period is treated from a political, economic, social, religious or cultural angle.
