health or even in expansion. In the latter, there is pressure to reduce the number of history students according to the availability of teaching posts. 2. Degree profiles and occupations Typical degrees offered in History Degree First Cycle Second Cycle degrees Third Cycle Typical degrees offered Most commonly, institutions offer specific first cycle degrees in History, although in some cases History students simply take a more general degree (Arts, Letters or Humanities for example), giving particular attention to historically oriented course units. In some countries Art History or other related subjects are considered to be part of the subject area; in others they are separate. In the different academic and cultural contexts History may be linked to other major subject areas such as Philosophy, Geography, Literature, Archaeology, Classical studies, Archival studies, Economics, Law or Library Sciences. Second cycle degrees in History are frequently offered. In almost all cases the work leading to a second cycle degree comprises both course work and a relevant piece of research presented in written form. Second cycle degrees may be in a specific chronological or thematic area. In some countries and some institutions this is specified in the degree title (e.g. Medieval or Contemporary History; Women’s History). In others the usual title is simply History, although the programme of studies depends on the area of particular emphasis. There are often second cycle degrees in such subjects as Economic History, or in History related subjects such as Archival studies, Museology, Archaeology and so forth. In some countries future teachers of History receive specific degrees; in others the degree continues to be in History and teacher training is either included or is taken as a separate study programme. Doctorates are normally in History (or in a sub or related discipline such as Economic History or History of Law). They require examination and defence of a substantial and original piece of research described in a dissertation which normally has the dimensions and typology of a scientific monograph. The taught component of the degree varies, although at present in several countries the proportion is increasing. 10
Typical occupations of the graduates in History Cycle First Cycle Second Cycle Third Cycle Occupations First cycle degrees in History are useful for employment in nearly any service or communications related field: civil service, local, regional administration, personnel management, journalism, international organisations, tourism, administration and valorisation of the cultural patrimony in its various manifestations including archives, museums, libraries. Second cycle degrees in History according to the specifics of the national organisation of studies may give access to employment in secondary or even higher education. They also give a good basis for positions of greater responsibility in all the sectors mentioned for the first cycle. In most cases the doctoral degree in History is associated with an academic or research role. Role of subject area in other degree programmes A significant part of History learning and teaching takes place in other degree programmes. For this reason the History subject area group carried out its consultations and defined competences and levels taking into account the case of even a single course unit. Most Arts and Humanities programmes include the requirement that students complete some history course units, even for a very small number of credits such as five. Particularly in the disciplinary areas related to History (different in different national traditions) such as Geography, Philosophy, Literary or Linguistic Studies, Art History, Archaeology, Archival Studies, Communications there are requirements for History courses. In some scientific and technological subjects programmes, or programmes in such areas as Architecture or Law, there may be a requirement that students take a History course, or History may be an optional or elective course. History, particularly Contemporary History and non- European History is usually a requirement for Political Science degrees, and is also present in European Studies or in other Area Studies, as well as in Tourism and Journalism programmes. 11
