Career
Since this is a specialisation that studies the historic roots of many current debates, it prepares our students not only for work in the academic world and in teaching. Our graduates also work for local, national and international government and non-government organisations. They work as politicians, and journalists and for trade unions, publishers and museums.

If you are interested in a career in teaching, you can follow a teacher-training MA at the ICLON Graduate School of Education once you have graduated from the master’s programme. You have to speak fluent Dutch to follow the course, and there are some additional entry requirements.
