Goals

Master MEEF: Métiers de l'Enseignement, de l'Education et de la Formation (Teaching, Education and Training Professions).

The History-Geography course in the MEEF-second degree specialization is designed to prepare for the History-Geography CAPES competitive examination (or the CAFEP for private education).

The M1 year is structured around theoretical training and internships, and preparation for the competitive examination.

The M2 year prepares the tenure of trainee teachers who have completed the M1 MEEF and passed the CAPES exam. A special course is available for students who have completed the M1 without having passed the competitive examination and who wish to take it again.
