History

In the first year you will become acquainted with history from antiquity to modern times, though not necessarily in that order. From the second year, you can choose a History track or an International Relations in Historical Perspective track. You can also do an internship or study abroad.

During your Master's you can study these themes in greater depth, for example in Conflict Studies, International Relations, Cultural History of Modern Europe, History of Politics and Society or the Research Master History.

At Utrecht we also think that it's important to put everything into perspective. This means that - sometimes contradictory - views of the past play a central role.

You will study history based on all kinds of sources, from original letters to coins and inscriptions and from diplomatic treaties to propaganda images. You will collect and evaluate evidence, which you will then analyse and interpret. These are highly transferable skills.
