Opportunities after graduating
The master's specialisation in Applied History prepares you for various positions in government organisations, NGOs, consultancies, museums, education, media and heritage institutions. Are you more interested in academic research or teaching at a University? Then this specialisation will also help you build strong analytical skills, enabling you to conduct independent research. This provides excellent preparation for a PhD trajectory.
Historians with a Rotterdam master's degree know how to relate contemporary social and political issues to long-term developments: a quality that is highly sought-after in various sectors and fields.
