The Master\u2019s in History of the English-speaking World offers students the opportunity to study British and American civilizations using a multidisciplinary and comparative approach, allowing them to understand the diversity of British and American societies and thereby access other cultures in the English-speaking world. The variety of approaches used (social and political history, intellectual history, political science and sociology) demonstrates the wealth of knowledge available in civilization studies. In the first year, students will be introduced to research methodologies used in the humanities. They will also build on their historical, social, political, cultural and artistic background knowledge of the societies studied, so that they can participate in personal, original research using primary sources in the second year.<\/p>\n

Students will select their seminars based on their choice of American or British civilization, after consulting with their thesis director.<\/p>\n

A degree in Anglophone Studies (or equivalent,\u00a0submitted to the agreement of the Admissions Committee).<\/p>\n

Expectations<\/strong><\/p>\n

Excellent oral and written English (C1 minimum). If you\u2019re not from a EU country and not from an anglophone country, you\u2019ll need to provide an internationally recognized language test certificate (eg scores: 7 for IELTS, 100 for TOEFL, 130 for Duolingo, or the Cambridge Proficiency certificate).<\/p>\n

French Language<\/strong><\/p>\n

French proficiency is not required for the Research Programmes, but a basic command of French is recommended.<\/p>\n

General criteria for admission<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Admissions Commission will pay particular attention to the student\u2019s undergraduate curriculum and grades\u00a0(especially third-year results), and to the cover letter, which must be written in English. Extra-curricular activities (projects, internships, volunteer work\u2026) may also be taken into account.<\/p>\n

Guidelines to help you write your cover letter<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don’t submit a standard, AI-generated cover letter. Avoid the clich\u00e9s and instead try to give an idea of who you are and what your interests are. Our top tip for applying is, before you write, take the time to research our programme: <\/strong>look through the brochure and read about the research and teaching interests of our faculty members. Your letter should show that you have done this. Then, you can try answering these kinds of questions in your cover letter:<\/p>\n
