Module 1 Thematic elective
Students study a specific area in the field of history from a thematic perspective or as an introduction to essay writing. The aim is to acquire knowledge of a specific time period, a social process, or a historical problem area and to start investigating the importance of different theoretical perspectives. The use of history is also treated in the form of an in-depth micro teaching sequence.

Module 2 Historical workshop and independent essay
The focus is on introducing the historical research process in practice by completing an independent B-level essay, equivalent to 7.5 ECTS cr, using appropriate methods and relevant subject knowledge in accordance with the formal requirements of scholarship in history. How teachers can translate the research process into teaching and how primary sources can be used in teaching are also discussed.

Module 3: Global nationalism
The module deals with different theories of nationalism related to the emergence of the national state, the intellectual content of nationalism, identity issues, gender, and the role of these aspects in state building and dissolution. Attention is given to the problem of nation-building in countries with a colonial background and the xenpophobic expressions of nationalism during the 20th century. Apart from the political/cultural factors, the role of the basic economic and social factors in the context of nation-building and nationalism is treated. The module includes an extensive micro teaching sequence on history education issues.
