Bachelor
L-42 R - Storia
This Bachelor's degree programme aims to provide students with a general but solid knowledge of history, enabling them to develop a sense of the historical dimension of phenomena, processes and structures of reality. Students will gain an overall understanding of historiographical trends and languages in the various eras, underpinned by the ability to use the main tools for the analysis and interpretation of documents and sources, including digital humanities tools. Throughout their three years of study, they will develop their critical thinking skills in historical research, and learn how to approach analogue and digital sources and documents.
Moreover, the programme intends to develop students' ability to communicate in English (level B1 of the CEFR), as well as IT skills IT focused on AI literacy. Lastly, the programme includes workshops and/or internships, seminars and other learning activities organised in the frame of courses and workshops, e.g. visits to archives and museums, or bibliographic research on specific topics.

Employment opportunities are mostly linked to the ability to consult bibliographic material and documents, to browse databases and other information available on the web, and to cultivate a sensitivity to historical events and the theme of memory, as developed by graduates over the course of the programme. This will enable graduates to disseminate the knowledge acquired during their studies in appropriate settings, with a view to facilitating an understanding of the main historical problems of past and present societies.

This history B.A. has a solid international exchange tradition which began with the founding of the ERASMUS, now ERASMUS Plus programme.
These reciprocal agreements give students and teachers access to a year abroad, an exchange agreement between University of Milan and the universities of many countries including: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, the Czech Republic, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, Hungary.
With Erasmus+ University of Milan also assigns study periods in Switzerland based on bilateral agreements with Swiss universities under the SEMP - Swiss European Mobility Programme.
The list of universities that may be chosen by students enrolled in the History degree programme can be consulted both in the application management system and in the file entitled "Available locations" available at the following link: https://www.unimi.it/en/international/study-abroad/studying-abroad-erasmus
It is possible to complete study periods ranging from a minimum of 2 to a maximum of 12 months during the three years of the programme, at one of the university's partner institutions. Average study periods abroad last 5-6 months. Study abroad (course attendance, exams, any thesis research work) is accredited on students' return with a number of study credits which take account of the activities completed abroad and the length of the period of time spent there. The related study programme, called a Learning Agreement, is agreed on departure on the basis of courses, exams and activities at the partner university decided by students in accordance with their Italian study plans. Careful choice by the teaching staff responsible in identifying a wide ranging and specific correspondence between the University of Milan's educational programme and that of its partner universities enables students to take full advantage of their studies abroad and acquire the credits they need to complete their Italian studies. The study sectors which can be developed are essentially historical but credits in other humanities disciplines can also potentially be acquired.
This B.A. has a internationalisation and ERASMUS co-ordinator (Prof.ssa Michela Minesso) and a ERASMUS Traineeship coordinator (Prof.ssa Silvia Bussi). Every year, specific meetings for B.A. history students leaving for periods abroad are organised to supply them with the information they need on the various institutions available and useful contact numbers. The Department of Historical Studies "Federico Chabod" also has international research and teaching partnerships with institutions: in such cases, specific study plans are agreed with the co-ordinator and the work done is recognised in accordance with the criteria listed above.
The Department is also active in ERASMUS Plus-Placement which now provides for international exchange for new graduates (within 12 months of graduation), too, and information on the programmes which can be applied for is available on the website. The department works to identify international partners (archives, libraries, publishing houses, cultural institutions and universities) for internships designed to provide professional training.
