This program, the only one of its kind in France, aims to introduce French and international students to a significant period of western modernity using an innovative, historical approach.



The program blends its seminars with those of other master’s programs. Our students will receive thorough, multidisciplinary training that will not only make them highly sought-after specialists of the modern Renaissance, Enlightenment and Romanticism periods, but also competent analysts of the contemporary period who are able to examine major issues in light of the ideas and mentalities of the era. Graduates of our program will be adequately prepared to pursue doctoral studies, such as a joint program with one of our partner universities abroad, or sit competitive national entrance exams.
