History in the Public Sphere is a two-year masters program, run by Central European University and Tokyo University of Foreign Studies.
It focuses on the ways the past is represented, contested, and negotiated in the public sphere, exploring various contexts from the early modern period to the present in a comparative and transnational way. It is organized around four thematic foci, which cover the most pressing questions historians and practitioners have been faced with in an increasingly connected, globalized world:
The program aims to bring together historical scholarship and civic engagement to prepare students for careers in producing, translating, and disseminating historical knowledge through museums, journalism, archives, broadcasting, and digital communication.
It also lays special emphasis on developing skills and social competences through study trips, practitioner workshops, and internships, which enable graduates to work with non-experts and civic actors in the process of disseminating historical knowledge.
Concerning the final product of the program, students can choose between writing an academic thesis and making a capstone project. The curriculum of the program is based on the former History in the Public Sphere Erasmus Mundus Joint Master’s Degree program (HIPS).
The first academic year is spent at CEU PU in Vienna and the second at TUFS in Tokyo.
CEU offers a variety of degree scholarships, including tuition waivers and stipends to supplement the cost of living in Vienna. Funds to support the research of MA students are also available. TUFS also offers stipends to selected students based on merit.
