Master in Validation of Acquired Experience

The Validation of Acquired Experience (VAE) program is designed for individuals seeking to obtain a master's degree based on their professional experiences. This program is ideal for those who have at least three years of work experience in relevant fields and wish to formalize their skills and knowledge into a recognized qualification. It offers a flexible pathway for professionals, job seekers, and volunteers to gain academic recognition without traditional schooling.

Participants in the VAE program will engage in a structured process that includes submitting a dossier of their professional experiences and competencies. This dossier is evaluated by a jury of educators and professionals, culminating in a 30-minute interview. The program emphasizes the importance of practical experience and aims to bridge the gap between professional skills and academic qualifications, ensuring that graduates are well-prepared for the demands of the job market.

Graduates of the VAE program can pursue various career paths, including roles such as Digital Archivist, Historical Consultant, Project Manager in Cultural Heritage, and Research Analyst. Employers may include museums, cultural institutions, government agencies, and private companies focused on history and digital technologies. The skills acquired through this program are transferable across multiple sectors, enhancing employability and career advancement opportunities.
