METHODOLOGY and EVALUATION   

The master’s degree consists of an on-site part as well as complementary activities undertaken outside the classroom. In the on-site part of the courses, each professor combines theory and practice, methodological approaches and analysis of sources, using content that is specific to the topic as well as current historiography, in addition to conveying their own research experience.

One of the main goals of the professor’s work will be to implement working strategies which help with the training of future researchers and their professional skilling. As a result, as a general rule, in each course the student will have to produce an individually supervised monograph which addresses one of the areas dealt with during the year, drawing on the particular expertise of one of the professors.
