Overview

Key Features

As an international faculty and student body with Historical Studies (1 year) programme from Central European University (CEU) we strive to think about the past not only within but also across historical periods, world regions, national boundaries, and academic disciplines in order to avoid academic insularity and to keep in mind both the distinctiveness and interconnectedness of historical trajectories.

Programme Structure

The program features two distinct tracks. Students can apply to:

History Track: the History track is characterized by breadth and variety. Students can choose courses from across the entire curriculum of the Department, exploring the past from antiquity to the present, while focusing their studies in the field of their interests and completing a project of original research.

Late Antique and Medieval Studies Track: this intensive, one-year track is ideal for candidates with a background in Late Antique and Medieval Studies. The curriculum delves deeply into interdisciplinary explorations of this era, encompassing, for example, politics, economics, society, culture, archaeology, philosophy, and art history.
