Program Overview

History - Master's Programme

The discipline of history contains a variety of special fields embracing cultural history, medieval history, political history, and history of technology. The fields may be approached from different angles and different viewpoints. The master's programme in history is designed to give students an introduction to historical research through their own experience and practice.


About the Programme
