What you will study

The degree programme is structured to provide a combination of several different types of courses: Those that convey basic knowledge and provide basic academic qualifications, and those that convey more research-related, in-depth, up-to-date specialist knowledge in selected subdisciplines or that focus within selected topics on the practical application of skills required for the study and analysis of history.
