Bachelor in Licence - Humanités - Parcours Humanités et Sciences Sociales

Tuition fees are 178 EUR per year.

The Licence in Humanités, offered through the Humanités et Sciences Sociales track at Université de Lorraine's Faculté des Sciences Humaines et Sociales in Metz, France, sits at the crossroads of literature, philosophy, history, and the social sciences. A humanities degree of this kind typically introduces students to close reading and textual analysis, the history of ideas, sociological and anthropological methods, and the fundamentals of written and oral argumentation. Students usually study a mix of core humanities subjects alongside social science modules such as sociology, political thought, and cultural history, building skills in critical reasoning, research, and clear communication rather than following a single narrow specialization. Such programs are designed to give a broad intellectual foundation before students move toward more specialized study or professional training. Graduates from humanities and social sciences pathways commonly go on to further study in fields like teaching, publishing, cultural administration, journalism, public administration, or the social sciences, and many continue into graduate programs that require strong analytical and writing ability. This bachelor's degree runs over three years, with studies beginning in September. Instruction is delivered in French, so a solid command of the language is expected throughout the coursework, seminars, and written assignments. Yearly tuition is set at 178 EUR. Based in Metz, the program is part of Université de Lorraine, a public institution with a presence across several sites in the Lorraine region of eastern France, and students benefit from being part of a broader university community while following a curriculum centered on the humanities and social sciences.
