The Department is a thriving part of Central European University (CEU), the only transnational, English-language graduate school in Europe that is accredited both in the European Union and the United States. The transnational academic environment challenges our faculty and students to study the past and present using the most innovative methodologies and theoretical frameworks from a global perspective, and to work closely together and learn from one another in order to produce new knowledge and ground-breaking research. We are a consciously multidisciplinary department which provides intellectually challenging comparative and multi-disciplinary postgraduate education on all aspects of the history and culture of the period from c.300 to the present day.
