GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROGRAM:

Study programme:

University undergraduate study programme

University graduate study programme

General information on the study programme:

The undergraduate study programme in History enables students to learn about national and world history through the proper and responsible assessment of the value of historical sources and their argumentative interpretation. They are taught that any historical research must be guided exclusively by the need to reach the truth and to present historical processes, events and personalities as they really are in order to prevent the misuse of historical science. In this way, students will more easily understand the very complex problems that today's society is burdened with and will be able to propose solutions to improve everyday life.

Graduates with university bachelor's degree in history can be employed in educational and cultural institutions, museums, tourism and in collaborative positions on projects related to history, culture and heritage, as well as in professions that require knowledge of history.

The History study program is comparable to related studies in the Republic of Croatia, which enables student mobility towards similar studies at other universities in the country and abroad.

The university graduate double-major study programme in History offers students the opportunity to enroll in the Teacher Education Specialisation or the Academic Research Specialisation "Adriatic Studies" - "Studia Hadriatica". The study enables the expansion of knowledge, skills and competencies, emphasizes the responsible and independent use of existing knowledge. In this process, existing qualities are respected and new qualities are developed among students, and aptitudes and knowledge from other fields of science are nurtured. Students are trained to be successful knowledge transferors in educational institutions, or to be able to continue their scientific and research work in doctoral studies.

Upon completion of the graduate study programme, students acquire competencies for work in schools, institutes, museums, galleries, cultural institutions, scientific and research projects, tourism and the media, as well as for work in jobs related to the management, promotion and interpretation of historical and cultural heritage.

Career Days at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Split

career Days will be held at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Split from 12 to 16 October 2026. The event is organised by the Faculty’s Career Planning and Development Centre in cooperation with the Faculty’s partner institutions providing practical training. The programme will bring together students and representatives of employers and partner institutions, offering an opportunity to explore professional placement opportunities and avenues for career development.

This year’s programme will open with a panel discussion entitled “Degree, Knowledge or Personality? What Do Employers Look for in Candidates?”, which will take place on Monday, 12 October, at 10 a.m. in Classroom P8.

During the discussion with employers, participants will explore what makes a good job candidate beyond formal education and which skills and personal qualities can be decisive in the recruitment process. Particular attention will be given to communication and interpersonal skills, initiative, responsibility, adaptability and willingness to learn.

As part of Career Days, the Faculty’s partner institutions where students can undertake practical training will also be introduced. The Department of History will present one of its partner institutions, the Archaeological Museum in Split. This will give students an opportunity to learn about ways to gain practical experience and apply the knowledge acquired during their studies.

Students are invited to take part in the programme and make the most of this opportunity to engage with employers, learn about the Faculty’s partner institutions and plan the first steps in their professional careers.
