About

The History MA programme offered at University of Peradeniya trains new generations of historians who are well-equipped to traverse in the frontiers of knowledge through teaching and to contribute to the historical discourses through innovative and socially relevant research. 

Overview

The vision of the History MA programme offered at University of Peradeniya is to remain as the foremost seat of the generation and dissemination of knowledge and skills relating to the study of the past and thereby to create intellectuals with a theoretical and practical knowledge on par with the global standards in the field of history. 

The Department of History

The Department has two broad specializations, Modern History and Ancient History. Presently, the strength of our permanent academic staff is 13. Our Department strength is as follows. There are 1 Senior Professor, 3 Professors, 4 Senior Lecturers, 3 Lecturers and 3 Probationary Lecturers, three Temporary Assistant Lecturers. Though the History Department of the University of Peradeniya is the only Department that teaches History in both Sinhala and Tamil media, it lacks the sufficient staff to conduct lectures in Tamil. Currently the Department has only one Tamil medium staff member to teach courses in Tamil which is a serious constraint. Thus in order to enhance the productivity of the department at least 6 new cadre positions have to be filled during the next five years time.

Programme Structure

Courses include:

  • Historical Methodology and Historiography
  • Sources of Ancient History (Literature)
  • Western Political Thought – Some Thematic Issues up to the French Revolution
  • Historiography (Historical Method and Philosophy of History)
  • Issues of Colonial State Formation and National Integration in Post-Colonial Sri Lanka
  • Analysis of Sources for the study of Socio-Political developments in Sri Lanka
