Academic, Scientific, or Professional Interest

Studying history provides a critical knowledge of humanity's past, which, in turn, allows for an understanding of the present. It also creates a feeling of respect for the past and historic, cultural, artistic, and archaeological heritage, and furthermore, an awareness of the diversity of cultures and civilizations, which encourages a respect for foreign cultural values and traditions and a development of a civic conscience. In addition, this degree provides basic knowledge of a historian's methods, techniques, and instruments for analysis.

Worth Noting

The theoretical subject areas incorporate practical blackboard exercises, analyses of historical texts, and complementary activities that aid studying and comprehension and contribute towards the student's overall grade. Students have the chance to carry out optional external internships (for 6 credits), which will allow them to get closer to one of the professions related to history. The History, History of Art, and Geography and the Environment degrees have the same academic pathway in the fourth year. This pathway is made up of 30 optional credits and is aimed at those who wish to take the Master's Degree in Secondary Education Teaching.
