Arts and humanities

The SHA license allows you toanalyze the concrete changes in the past and present world and their economic, social, political, and cultural implications. This multidisciplinary program is based on the knowledge and methods of geography, history, and philosophy. In addition to these three disciplines, the curriculum includes introductory courses in law, economics, and sociology, as well as languages (first and second foreign languages are required, and some discipline-specific courses are taught in English). Through their ability to analyze complex phenomena, these disciplines provide a framework for studying and reflecting on historical and contemporary social relations. The courses are designed collaboratively and enrich one another, fostering critical analysis.

Training objectives

The goal of a multidisciplinary approach is to develop cross-disciplinary skillswhich can be applied in a wide range of professional sectors, broadening the choice of outlets.
The bachelor's degree program focuses primarily on a theoretical approach, drawing on the humanities, social sciences, and philosophy to foster an understanding of society and its evolution.
The courses provide a methodology and training in critical thinking and analytical skills. The bachelor’s degree program also prepares students for their transition into the workforce through a professional internship, followed by an internship report.

The organization of teaching

The 3 years of the bachelor's degree are designed to promote the progressive acquisition of knowledge and skills:

• The^first year integrates the various disciplines offered around a common theme: society and cultures. The targeted skills are as follows: analysis, synthesis, writing skills, documentary research, information and communication technologies for education (ICT), and proficiency in two foreign languages (English and a second language, chosen from among German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, and Russian).
• The^{second year} expands the interdisciplinary focus with the introduction of courses in law, economics, and sociology, and a more in-depth exploration of contemporary changes through the lens of conflict. Students acquire new skills in oral presentation techniques.
• The third year is a year of specialization based on a common theme: social relations. This year includes courses in law, economics, and sociology. Elective courses are recommended based on your personal academic goals. A multidisciplinary workshop introducing students to scientific research and helping them contextualize their university coursework runs throughout the third year and culminates in the submission of a first mini-research thesis.

During the three-year bachelor's program, a seminar featuring oral presentations of scientific and media texts, among others, helps students develop their engagement with texts.
Students reflect on their personal academic goals throughout the bachelor’s program. At the end of the third year, students must assess their learning, with a view to entering the workforce or continuing their studies (admission to a master’s program).
