Documents
“The Masters Program in History at PUCV was a very important part of my learning and training. The three research focuses offered by the program allowed me to understand history from a broad perspective. At the same time I was able to specialize in the area that interested me the most, examining illustrious authors as well as important historiographical discussions. In addition, the research methodology taught in these courses has prepared me for further studies in Chile and abroad”

“Participating in the Masters Program at Pontifical Catholic University proved to be an excellent choice in my academic career. The minor in Politics and International Relations gave me important conceptual tools in science and political philosophy and proved to be an ideal extension for a degree in History and a valuable contribution to my own research. The program was also flexible enough to allow me to focus on my own areas of academic and research interest. In this sense the professors encouraged student research by guiding and advising us when necessary. In general, I am very satisfied with the program and I can only be grateful for all I learned during this experience.”
