Bachelor in Licence - Humanités - Parcours Humanités numériques

The Licence Humanités, with a Humanités numériques (digital humanities) pathway, joins the traditional study of history, literature, and philosophy with methods and tools drawn from computing and data analysis. Students in this kind of program follow a broad humanities core, covering historical periods, textual and literary analysis, and philosophical reasoning, while also learning digital methods such as data processing, basic programming, corpus analysis, and the use of software for organizing and presenting humanities research. The aim is to prepare graduates who can apply computational tools to questions in history, literature, or cultural heritage rather than treating technology and the humanities as separate tracks. Typical career directions include work in archives, libraries, and cultural heritage institutions that increasingly rely on digital cataloguing and online collections, roles in publishing and digital content production, further graduate study in digital humanities or information science, and positions in research support where humanities knowledge and technical skills are both valued. This Licence is delivered by Université de Caen Normandie, in Caen, France. It is a bachelor's-level program lasting three years, taught in French, with an intake in September and yearly tuition of 178 EUR. Students entering this pathway should be ready to combine reading- and writing-intensive humanities coursework with technical modules, since the digital humanities orientation is built on top of, rather than instead of, the standard grounding in history, literature, and philosophy found across Humanités degrees.
