Overview Admissions Criteria Student Profile Career Possibilities

Course outline

This degree focuses on the professional development of historians. As it is recommended for professional historians to study a discipline relevant to their chosen professional specialty, and because historical inquiry is accepted as elemental to various professions beyond those conventionally associated with history, the course allows students to combine history with other disciplines. This facilitates an education in, for example, historical fiction and writing, social history and criminology, family history and sociology, national history and languages, and cultural history and music.
