Master Histoire

At Université Bourgogne Europe, tuition is 250 EUR per year.

Master Histoire, offered by Université Bourgogne Europe in Dijon, France, is a two-year master's program in history taught in French. History is a discipline concerned with the study of past societies, events, and processes, using primary sources, archival material, and critical analysis to reconstruct and interpret how societies have developed over time. Students in a history master's program typically deepen their knowledge of specific periods or themes, such as ancient, medieval, modern, or contemporary history, while also building advanced research skills, including archival research methods, source criticism, and historiography, which is the study of how historical interpretation itself has changed over time. Coursework often combines seminars focused on particular historical questions with training in research methodology, culminating in an original research project or thesis based on primary source material. Many programs also address related fields such as art history, the history of ideas, or economic and social history, depending on the areas of specialization offered. Graduates of history master's programs commonly pursue careers in archives, museums, heritage institutions, publishing, teaching, and research, and some continue into doctoral study aimed at academic careers. Others apply their research and analytical skills in fields such as journalism, cultural administration, or public sector roles that value the ability to interpret complex documentary evidence and construct well-supported arguments. Instruction for this program is delivered in French, so applicants should have a strong command of the language along with an interest in archival research and historical analysis. The program begins in September and spans two years, leading to a master's degree. Yearly tuition is 250 EUR. Dijon, in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region, has a long-established university tradition and regional archives relevant to historical study.
