Overview

Graduates in History (L-42) acquire a wide basic training and skills to approach historical research, alongside the cultural and professional attitude to connect the present to the past, and to investigate the latter with the necessary tools to achieve scientific knowledge.

Programme structure

The competence for starting the practice of historical research will be achieved through courses covering the whole span of history, from the ancient to the contemporary world (in its global dimension). Within each defined chronological period, or in a given thematic area, the aforementioned competence will secure a sound knowledge of the major historiographical themes and debates and the methodologies of treatment and interpretation of sources. An additional objective is to acquire a rigorous but clear historiographical language (oral and written), one attentive to the registers of scientific, educational and informative exposure.
