University launches new unique Master in Digital and Public History

Producing accessible, interactive, and engaging history . The new Master in Digital and Public History (MADiPH) at the University of Luxembourg is now open for applications for a first intake of students starting in September 2024. The Master programme extends the academic offer for history at the University with the existing Master in European Contemporary History. The MADiPH offers a unique opportunity to combine international perspectives in digital and public history, equipping students with methods, skills, and practical experiences to research, communicate, and make history more engaging. Public history aims to make history more accessible, collaborative, and interactive to the public. Through collaboration with cultural and media institutions, public historians strive to involve communities as much as possible in the production of history. Public history deals with and embraces the many ways in which people engage with history, not only at school and through books but also within families, museums, and historic buildings, through TV and radio, and increasingly also via online media.
