Overview

About the programme

The primary objectives of the MA History at the University of Delhi are many – a chance to learn how historians think, research, analyse and frame their research. The focus on World History in the first year is useful since these historiographies are remote from the experience of most students.

They learn about other societies and cultures and the ways in which scholars have interrogated their sources, and challenged, fine-tuned or built upon each other’s research methods and conclusions.

More critically, with the emphasis on learning research methods, students discover a range of ways in which the human experiences in differing locales and contexts could be made to speak to the ‘realities’ of past and present in their own immediate environs.
