Historical Studies

Historical Studies introduces students to new approaches and an international perspective in today's debates about European and global histories that are grounded in national perspectives.


Are you interested in history? Are you willing to make a choice from a wide range of historical periods and fields and do you have affinity with an interdisciplinary perspective? Then the research master Historical Studies at the Nijmegen Faculty of Arts is the right programme for you!

The research master Historical Studies is tailored to students with a passion for history and a clear ambition for historical research. Historical Studies allows you to follow paths in the full range of periods, including Ancient history, Medieval history and Modern history. At the same time a wide variety of specialisations is offered, such as demographic and family history, cultural history and political history.

The two-year research master programme Historical Studies: Ideology, Mentality and Social Practice at the Radboud University Nijmegen will offer you the opportunity to realise a study based on your own particular interests and ambitions within a sound educational framework. You will be coached by an experienced researcher who will serve as your individual tutor.
