MAS History: the perfect continuing education course not only for historians

Nowadays, it is not only people who want to deal with the history of their country or a specific era as their main profession who study history in order to work as a historian in the future. The Master of Advanced Studies in Applied History, or MAS History for short, shows that history always has a connection to the present and that our social actions are the result of our historical development.

It is not only history professors and historians who need this knowledge of historical events for their work; it is becoming increasingly apparent that people in other professions can also benefit from knowledge of the impact of the past on the present. It is mainly journalists, politicians and business managers who complete the MAS History in order to learn to understand the complex interrelationships and develop their own solutions to their own problems.

The MAS History not only provides you with theoretical knowledge, but also aims to impart in-depth skills for everyday practice. If you are also interested in such a postgraduate course in MAS History, you will find further information and details of universities and other educational institutions that offer the MAS History on Ausbildung-Weiterbildung.ch. Contact the individual universities directly and obtain informative study documents.
