Licence Histoire (History) at Université d'Angers

Université d'Angers, France

Programme overview

A three-year Licence from a department that offers study of History from the end of school to the doctorate. Teaching is balanced across the four major historical periods and represents 75 to 80% of annual teaching, with optional courses from L1 (for example geography for future history-geography teachers) that increase between L1 and L3. It aims to give broad and solid historical culture and the best base for a Master, and to teach methods specific to history studies.
