Faculty of Arts School of Historical Studies

Welcome to the School of Historical Studies

The School of Historical Studies was formed in 2007 comprising of the Australian Centre, the Department of History, the Centre for Classics and Archaeology, the Centre for Cultural Materials Conservation and the Centre for Jewish History and Culture.

The new School brings together a lively, engaging and vibrant programme of teaching and research which offers a wide variety of courses and subjects. The School offerings give you an opportunity to extend your knowledge and understanding of your historical interests in a range of diverse contexts, as well as to develop your capacity to analyse, think critically and communicate effectively. The School offers both breadth and depth - covering through its subjects a diversity of times, places and themes which reflect the latest developments in historical research and vocational practice. The School further explores multi-disciplinary perspectives on ancient Graeco-Roman, Aeggean and Near Eastern civilisations including ancient languages. Through the Australian Centre we foster an appreciation and critical examination of Australian society. Our Centre for Cultural Materials Conservation investigates new areas and innovative practices in instrumentation and analysis, policy and programs in the area of the preservation of cultural materials.
