History in the Public Sphere is a two-year master program that focuses on the ways the past is represented, contested, and negotiated in the public sphere, exploring various contexts from the early modern period to the present in a comparative and transnational way.

The program

  • is taught in English
  • runs over two years of full-time studies, including three periods of mobility
  • addresses broader, entangled, and global aspects of the representation and uses of the past across different periods of history
  • offers an infrastructure that allows students to study and practice public history in a comparative perspective both within and outside strictly national contexts
  • integrates a multilateral exchange and cultural dialogue opening up a comparative dimension that is less present in the more conventional understanding of public history focused mainly on the national public
  • is fully-funded for the scholarship recipients
