Master’s and Doctoral Degree in History


DESCRIPTION
 
The goal is to develop professionals who can exercise Higher Education research and teaching (at undergraduate and graduate levels) and contribute to the development of the historical knowledge. The objective of the Program, from its origins, is to offer graduates opportunities to continue their studies at a graduate level and to offer professionals conditions so that they can improve their cognitive and technical abilities from research experience regarding several fields of history. We believe that students from this Graduate Program of UFGD will be able to socially contribute to the development of possibilities and strategies that aim at creating a more equidistant society, improving socio-economic conditions, diminishing current regional inequalities in Brazil and, more specifically, broaden the understanding about the historical and social dynamics that take place in bordering regions. This is a fundamental condition for Brazil to have a real process of integration with bordering countries.
