Master Histoire — Histoire Publique

Tuition comes to 250 EUR per year.

The Institut national universitaire Jean-François Champollion, located in Albi, France, offers this master's program, "Master Histoire," through a track in "Histoire Publique" (Public History). This field of study focuses on how historical knowledge is researched, preserved, and communicated to audiences outside the academic classroom. Students in this area typically study archival methods, the management of historical and cultural heritage, museum and exhibition practice, oral history collection, and the ways historical narratives are presented through media, public programming, and cultural institutions. Coursework generally combines historical research training with practical skills in heritage management, project design, and public communication, often including work placements or applied projects with archives, museums, or cultural organizations. Graduates from this kind of specialization commonly pursue roles in archives, museums, heritage and cultural institutions, local government cultural services, and documentary or media production, working as archivists, heritage officers, exhibition curators, or public history project coordinators. The program leads to a master's degree over two years, with instruction delivered in French, and the academic year is expected to begin in September. Annual tuition is 250 EUR. This orientation suits students who want to apply historical training beyond traditional academic research, toward work that makes the past accessible and meaningful to broader audiences through cultural and heritage institutions.
