This course, offered full-time over one year or part-time over two years, seeks
to develop skills in historical analysis and writing and to acquaint students
with key recent debates in specific fields of history, especially those
concerning the nature of history. It will enable students to study techniques
of historical examination of sources and to broaden knowledge of a number of
fields of history. This diploma may be of particular value to teachers of
history, but it is available to any qualified person interested in pursuing
study in history at postgraduate level. The program will consist of a specially
constructed course of study relevant to the previous experience and future
requirements of individual candidates, each of whom will be consulted as to its
design.
