Licence Histoire at Université de Perpignan Via Domitia

The Licence Histoire works on a major-minor model: history is the major, with the four historical periods studied equally and progressively, and the minor (Sociologie, Géographie, Espagnol, Catalan or Histoire de l'art) builds a coherent route toward each student's goals. Teaching draws on the research of the staff in social history in a Mediterranean, Catalan and Iberian context.
