Department of History
printAbout Us
The study of history at our department is oriented towards addressing historical processes, questions and problems, more than events. Through the tree study levels it offers an increasingly in-depth insight in all historical periods, focusing on European history and its Mediterranean dimension, as well as on Slovenian history and territory, not least as a contact area between Slavic, Romanic and Germanic cultural areas. Along with the more classic field of political history, the study at our department is distinguished by giving attention to fields of historical science such as social, cultural and economic history. Students achieve knowledge both from established and new methodological approaches as well as practical knowledge, enabling them to develop a critical approach to historical events and processes, as well as competences for independent work and research.
Lessons are held in small groups, allowing a personal approach between students and teachers. We have a motivated, enthusiastic teaching staff of all generations who are prominent researchers in their own field, coming both from the Faculty of Humanities in Koper and some of the most important research institutes in Slovenia, such as the Contemporary History Institute and the Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences.
