Master programme
LM-84 R - Scienze Storiche
The Master's degree programme in Historical Sciences aims to provide students with extensive knowledge of history through a critical analysis of historiography and sources, and to introduce them to the use of digital technologies applied to historical research.
The cross-cutting approach of the programme provides for a richer learning experience, whereby all students gain fundamental knowledge, methods and perspectives ? related, inter alia, to history teaching and communication ? regardless of the topic or period in which they decide to specialise. This backbone knowledge is a prerequisite for students to be able not only to conduct interdisciplinary research, but also to upgrade their professional expertise, for instance in the field of history communication.
The degree also intends to develop the students' ability to communicate proficiently in English and to master the specialised vocabularies of the disciplines studied. To this end, the study plan requires students to reach level B2 of the CEFR by the end of the programme, while a number of courses are held in English.

Employment opportunities for Master's graduates in Historical Sciences are directly linked to the skills developed through the coursework, particularly the ability to organise and process complex information and problems, and to devise and communicate the most appropriate solutions. Possible job profiles after graduation are described here below.
HISTORY EXPERTS WORKING FOR MUSEUMS, ARCHIVES AND LIBRARIES

Experts working in this field have communication and organisational skills, specialist knowledge in the humanities, and an outstanding command of history. These professionals are able to identify and classify documentary, iconographic and material sources relating to their area or chronological period of specialisation, also in digital format. They are also able to define and monitor appropriate strategies for the management, protection and promotion of historical sources and cultural artefacts placed under their responsibility.

This Historical Sciences M.A. has a solid international exchange tradition which began with the founding of the ERASMUS, now ERASMUS plus programme. A concise overview of ERASMUS is available on the M.A. programme site on MyAriel platform, in the "Contents" section.
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, Bulgaria, Cyprus, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Lithuania, the Low Countries, Poland, Portugal, the Czech Republic, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, Hungary.
A list of specific universities encompassed by the agreement for historical science graduates can be consulted in appendix A: https://www.unimi.it/en/international/study-abroad/studying-abroad-erasmus
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.
Historical sciences students can complete study periods ranging from a minimum of 3 to a maximum of 12 months during the two years of the programme, at one of the university's partner institutions. Average study periods abroad last 5-6 months. Students are advised to complete overseas study periods in the 2nd semester of the 1st year or the 1st semester of the 2nd year.
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. The related study programme, called a Learning Agreement, is agreed on departure on the basis of courses, exams and activities 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 M.A. has a internationalisation and ERASMUS co-ordinator (prof.ssa Michela Minesso) and a ERASMUS Traineeship coordinator (prof.ssa Silvia Bussi). Specific meetings for M.A. Historical sciences 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" has 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.
