MAS Applied History: also for non-historians

Some providers in Switzerland offer a degree in applied history as a MAS Applied History postgraduate course. In contrast to conventional history studies, the MAS is designed to incorporate the knowledge acquired into practice and everyday working life, even for non-historians. This is because journalists, politicians and people working in administration are all dependent on knowledge of historical contexts, the consequences of which can often still be felt today. This means that the MAS Applied History places today's social or political events in the context of historical events in order to find solutions to current problems from these developments.

This examination of theoretical solutions to problems enables graduates of the MAS Applied History to recognize correlations in their day-to-day work and to develop strategies and models to improve or eliminate these problems. You do not need a degree in history for the MAS Applied History, but you do need a degree in any subject.
