Recommended applicant profile and admission requirements
Recommended applicant profile
The most appropriate prior training for the master's is a bachelor's degree in history, history and heritage, or humanities and intercultural studies, or any other bachelor's degree in which modern history is a key focus of the course content. Pre-EHEA degrees (such as the Spanish licenciatura degree) in humanities, history, and history-based disciplines such as geography, philosophy and art are equally suitable.
Applications from graduates of other degrees will be examined by the Academic Committee on the basis of their CV and, when deemed necessary, a personal interview. The Committee may require these applicants to complete additional bridging courses as a condition for admission to the master's degree.
