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
Job functions include:
- studying, analysing and classifying historical sources for the purposes of their conservation, protection and access by the public
- ensuring the preservation, in different formats, of a wide variety of information relating to traditions, libraries, archives, records and other historical documents;
- conducting research, managing ? or contributing to managing ? physical and digital archives and libraries, and ensuring the conservation of historical, cultural or artistic artefacts, works of art and books, including their organisation, indexing, classification and cataloguing;
- producing technical texts (reports, projects, working documents, presentations) variously related to historical studies, also addressed to specialists in different fields.
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.
They can work in archives, libraries, superintendencies, museums and other institutions for the protection and promotion of the historical-documentary, cultural, environmental and artistic heritage. Other opportunities can be found at public and private entities and non-governmental organisations carrying out historical research, firms providing history and heritage consulting services, and private archives, libraries and museums owned by foundations or large companies.

AUTHORS AND EDITORS OF HISTORICAL CONTENTS
Job functions include:
- handling the editorial production (in digital or printed format) of descriptive, educational and scientific books, as well as catalogues and texts for theatre, cinema or TV productions that extensively draw on historical sources and historiographical documents;
- editing editorial projects, writing and reviewing texts (either in digital or in printed format), translating and editing Italian editions of historical and historiographical works;
- participate in the editorial production of school textbooks, including by collecting learning materials and writing/reviewing texts;
- writing articles for the media, as well as historical-political, economic and cultural analyses, based on their knowledge of European and extra-European societies from ancient times to the present.
Experts working in this field are extensively familiar with the historical, political, economic and cultural processes related to their geographical area and chronological period of specialisation, and have a full grasp of the related theoretical and critical debate. Moreover, they master the necessary cultural, linguistic and methodological tools to write and review historical texts. Lastly, they possess communication and organisational skills enabling them to carry out their editorial tasks and responsibilities.
They can work as writers, editors of history textbooks and critical texts, editors for history journals (digital and printed), and as authors for content creation agencies specialised in the production of online, radio and TV contents.

CULTURAL COMMUNICATORS AND EDUCATORS
Job functions include:
- contributing to the organisation of initiatives for the dissemination and promotion of the historical and cultural heritage, also through the use of social media (for example initiatives addressed to different audiences and organised by public and private institutions, archives, libraries, museums and cultural foundations);
- creating information panels, learning pathways and information materials relating to the historical and cultural heritage, including by using digital planning and communication tools;
- organising educational activities and refresher courses on historical disciplines for the staff of public or private organisations.
Experts working in this field have a comprehensive knowledge of the humanities, as well as communication and organisational skills. They understand the importance of promoting the historical and cultural heritage, and are able to identify the best strategies for this purpose, including by using digital humanities tools.
They can work for public and private entities, third-sector organisations, cultural centres and associations, private foundations, museums, archives, university and school libraries, as well as for television and radio channels, film institutes, online and printed newspapers and journals.
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.
Attendance is strongly recommended, though not mandatory.
