History

In the History bachelor programme at Erasmus University Rotterdam, you learn all about the past. However, you primarily look at history and historiography through a social, cultural, political and economic lens. This means that you study history thematically and not based on historical periods, as is usual in many other programmes. Themes include the development of the port, heritage, trends in the fashion industry, modern history and world history. A key feature of the History programme in Rotterdam is that we highlight these themes based on a long-term perspective, thus establishing links between minor and major events in history.
