History explores the human past in all its complexity: populations, economies, political techniques, religions, ideologies, arts... It borrows from the human sciences the questions and methods that enable us to grasp correlations, detect genesis, in a word, understand the human adventure. History also looks to the future! To prepare for the future, you act today on the basis of your knowledge of the past!

History training encourages us to work on something that nobody has dealt with before. The main objective, at the end of the cycle, is to be able to "create knowledge", applying all the necessary methodology and in the light of a particularly sharpened critical mind. We work primarily on texts and putting events into perspective, whether past or current.
