Bachelor in Double licence - Lettres / Histoire -

This double licence combines Lettres and Histoire, pairing literary studies with historical training across a three-year bachelor's program. Lettres, or literary studies, focuses on the close reading, analysis, and interpretation of literary texts, typically French literature spanning different periods and genres, along with training in writing, rhetoric, and sometimes linguistics. Histoire, or history, develops students' ability to research and interpret past events and societies using primary sources and established historiographical methods, generally covering a range of periods from antiquity to the contemporary era. Studying both fields together allows students to connect literary works to their historical context and to bring historical events to life through the literature produced within them, building strong skills in reading, research, and written argumentation across two complementary humanities disciplines. Coursework in a double licence of this type is more demanding than a single-subject degree, since students must satisfy requirements in both literature and history, but the result is a broad and versatile humanities education. Career paths commonly associated with this combination include further graduate study leading to teaching qualifications, particularly for secondary education, as well as roles in publishing, journalism, archival and library work, cultural heritage, and public administration, where strong analytical writing and research skills are valued. This double licence is offered at Universite Angers, located in Angers, France. The program spans three years, has an inferred start date in September, is taught in French, and carries a yearly tuition of 178 EUR.
