What you will study

The academic programme combines various types of courses: one the one hand, courses in which students acquire in-depth and current specialised knowledge of selected sub-disciplines, and on the other hand, courses that focus on the application of skills associated with studying and analysing history. A characteristic of the Master of Education is the blending of specialised and didactic courses at the level of both content and methodology.
