Postgraduate study in History Education
Is this course for me?
The course has been developed
specifically for those teaching history and for those in supporting
roles, e.g. education advisers, museum educators and NGO workers. The
intercultural approach can be adapted to any national or international

You will learn from your fellow

setting in order to undertake some of the tasks from the course and
evaluate practice.
