Organization
Special features
The UFR Lettres Langues et Sciences Humaines encourages mobility for all its students. There are several possibilities: study at a foreign university through the ERASMUS program or non-European exchanges, do an internship in a company abroad, or work as a language assistant with the CIEP (Centre International d'Etudes Pédagogiques).
Students can benefit from various types of grants to finance their mobility.
Program
The general history degree is organized over 3 years (6 semesters-180 European credits).
The first year is devoted to the history-geography portal, which enables students to progressively specialize, while at the same time providing them with a solid multi-disciplinary training, a guarantee of professional success.
In the 1st semester of L1, you will receive balanced dual training in the two disciplines of the portal. In the second semester, teaching is based on a system of history majors and geography minors, which consolidates and refines students' training in their chosen discipline, without interrupting multidisciplinarity.
When registering for L2, students can choose either of the two bachelor's degrees that make up the portal (history at Châteauroux or geography at Orléans). From L2 onwards, the history bachelor's degree offers a pathway leading to the various master's degrees (Bac + 5) offered by the University.

"training expectations
Applicants for the History degree are expected to :
- Mobilize written and oral expression skills to support a line of reasoning
This specialization requires a keen ability to understand texts of all kinds, as well as solid expressive skills, both written and oral, in order to analyze, argue, reason, synthesize, produce and process diversified content.
- Good command of at least one foreign language (level B)
This specialization includes compulsory modern language courses. Mastery of at least one language at baccalaureate level is therefore essential.
- An interest in the scientific process
This specialization requires the ability to understand and produce logical, reasoned arguments based on data and concepts from different disciplines.
- Demonstrate intellectual curiosity, particularly in the human sciences
The aim of the History degree is to study and understand the human phenomenon in all its richness, temporality, spatiality, diversity and complexity.
- Be able to work independently and organize your work
This expectation underlines the importance of the candidate's ability to work independently. Like many university courses, the history degree leaves a substantial amount of room for organization and personal work.
- An interest in documentary research
History training requires the combined analysis of numerous historical sources, which need to be understood and put into perspective.
- An interest in historical, political, economic and social issues
An interest in history is of course essential. But history cannot be studied in isolation from political, economic and social realities.
