Master Histoire — Histoire et audiovisuel

The tuition fee is 250 EUR per year.

History and audiovisual studies bring together historical research with the analysis and production of film, television, and other audiovisual media, examining both how history has been represented on screen and how audiovisual sources can themselves serve as historical evidence. The Histoire et audiovisuel track within the Master Histoire at Université Paris 1 - Panthéon Sorbonne in Paris, France, applies historical training to this media-focused area, covering the history of film and broadcasting alongside the methodological questions involved in using audiovisual material as a historical source. Typical coursework in this specialization includes the history of cinema and television, documentary analysis, archival research methods adapted to audiovisual collections, and practical training in working with film and broadcast archives. Students learn to critically assess how historical events and periods have been depicted in documentaries, films, and television programs, while also developing skills relevant to producing historically grounded audiovisual content. This combination of historical and media training prepares graduates for roles in audiovisual archives, documentary production companies, television and broadcasting organizations, and museums or cultural institutions that use film and video in their programming. Some graduates move into journalism, media research, or roles supporting historical documentaries and educational media projects. The program is structured over two years, delivered in French, following the standard master's format at French universities, with the academic year beginning in September. Yearly tuition for the program is 250 EUR. This path suits candidates who combine historical research skills with an interest in film, media, and audiovisual production.
