DMU’s program is broad, globally focused, and innovative. You'll learn important research and analysis skills, which will help you take in, communicate, and carefully examine complex information.
In line with our global world, the History curriculum covers a variety of modern and contemporary European and non-European histories. It explores key topics like colonialism, decolonisation, immigration, ethnic minorities, racism, and gender.
You will also learn about politics on local, national, and global levels. You’ll dive into important issues in today’s international politics, and our curriculum gives you both practical tools and theoretical knowledge to understand political issues and handle current social, political, and economic challenges.
