History helps us understand the forces that define the world today.

This specialisation fosters the ability to identify and critically interpret evidence, and it enables us to understand and explain the causes and consequences of political, economic, environmental and social change.

You'll learn conceptual and methodological approaches that are highly transferable to the workplace. Graduates of this specialisation can contribute effectively to dealing with the complex and sophisticated problems faced by today's society.

What's a specialisation?

A specialisation is a set of four units you can choose to complement your course. Most Curtin courses allow you to choose a specialisation from any academic area. Humanities specialisations, like this one, can give a useful balance to a course from business, law, science, engineering or health disciplines.
