The degree program in History is designed to meet the needs of the PhD students, and the university offers to fund only to students who intend to pursue the PhD. However, students also allow applications from students who wish to earn only the MA if they have external funding or are self-funded. Graduate training in the History degree program is organized by primary fields of study. Although most of the students are trained in a single field of study, students whose research interests span more than one field have the option to craft an individual plan of study.
