As a professionalizing Master on History Teaching it aims to prepare future teachers for lecturing the subject of History in the 3rd cycle of basic and secondary teaching. In secondary teaching, due to the possibility of teaching History A, History B, History of Culture and Arts, we structured a curriculum that was complementary on the contents and competences obtained in licentiate degree. It is visible the registration of specifically economic related classes, considering History B in Economy and Management courses, but also History of Culture and arts for the specific field of secondary teaching.

These are the particularities that aim to distinguish our educational project, inscribing also in Didactics the conditions for the students to prepare specific resources for these fields.
