Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree
"History in the Public Sphere"

History in the Public Sphere is a two-year master program that focuses on the ways the past is represented, contested, and negotiated in the public sphere, exploring various contexts from the early modern period to the present in a comparative and transnational way.

HIPS is a 120 ECTS English-language program awarding a Multiple Degree. It is organized around 4 thematic foci: institutionalization of memory and politicization of history; visual representations and medialization of history; histories of inclusion and exclusion; entanglements between national, regional and global frameworks of history. 

The Program aims to bring together historical scholarship and civic engagement in order to prepare students for careers in producing, translating, disseminating historical knowledge through museums, journalism, archives, broadcasting, digital communication etc. It also lays emphasis on developing skills and social competences through study trips, practitioner workshops and internships. 

The program is divided into 4 semesters: 

• first year: CEU (1 semester) and TUFS (2 semester)
• second year: UniFI or NOVA (3 semester) and any Consortium partners (4 semester)

HIPS is co-funded for the 2019-2025 period through a partnership (KA1) between Erasmus + Programme of the European Union and the Inter-University Exchange Project (IUEP) of the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT).
