applying knowledge and understanding:

The Course will allow graduate students to process the acquired knowledge, and the classroom experiences, for the preparation of specific training projects. In particular, by the use of educational insights, students will be able to elaborate historical knowledge in an interdisciplinary way.

making judgement:

The Course, based on a critical assessment of historical and social events, will enable graduate students to transform the acquired skills of a critical rethinking of the course’s contents, into new abilities: a professional competence and the capacity of future independent judgment toward professional, educational and socio-cultural opportunities.

communication skills:

At the end of the course, students will get adequate communication skills in elaborating their learning experience in an interdisciplinary way. This will be useful, in their future, for collaborating with other people, and for comparing elements and features of their cultures with those of the European area and the Eastern world.

learning skills:

The future graduate student will be skilled in dealing --with autonomous professionalism-- with further scientific research in the context of historical disciplines; and in integrating his competences according to the evolution of the scientific framework and to the transformation of social reality.
