The Department of History supports students throughout their studies and in building their professional projects
Department of History
• The Bachelor’s Degree in History combines the study of History with political science, international relations, and geography. Two specialised minors are available: Political Science – Geopolitics (available on the Lyon and Annecy campuses) and Political Science – Geography (available only on the Lyon campus).
• Opening in September 2026: Master’s Degree in History – Expertise and Geopolitics of European Border Territories. Through its multidisciplinary approach, the programme addresses political, economic, cultural, and environmental issues. Developed in partnership with Avignon University.

• collaborations with the UCLy Departments of Law, Philosophy, and Human Formation.
