Bachelor in Licence - Histoire

Tuition fees for Bachelor in Licence - Histoire are 178 EUR per year.

History is the academic discipline devoted to the study of past events, societies, and the methods used to research and interpret them, drawing on primary sources, archives, and historiographical debate. Students in a history degree typically study different historical periods and regions, learn to analyze and contextualize documents, and develop skills in research, argumentation, and academic writing. The Licence - Histoire at Universite de Guyane, in Cayenne, France, is a three-year bachelor's program taught in French, with a yearly tuition of 178 EUR, beginning in September. A typical history curriculum covers ancient, medieval, modern, and contemporary history, along with methodology courses that teach students how to work with primary sources, construct historical arguments, and situate events within broader political, social, and economic contexts. Given the program's location in French Guiana, students may also encounter coursework addressing the history of the Americas, colonial and post-colonial history, or the specific historical context of the Caribbean and South American region, alongside the standard chronological and thematic coverage found in most history degrees. Graduates of history programs pursue careers in teaching, archival and museum work, research, journalism, publishing, and public administration, and the degree also serves as a foundation for further study at the master's level in history, archival science, heritage studies, or related humanities fields. Because history training emphasizes source analysis, critical reasoning, and structured written argument, graduates typically leave with transferable research and communication skills applicable well beyond specifically historical roles, including work in policy, cultural institutions, and any field that values careful analysis of evidence and context.
