The History Master’s is relatively pure History, and basically aims at providing solid preparation for a History PhD. Thus (a) for Turkish citizens, it proposes to re-integrate their undergraduate knowledge of Ottoman and Turkish history by putting it in a universal, comparative context. (b) For international students from the Middle East, the rest of Asia or other Islamic countries, it offers a compact body of instruction in Ottoman and Turkish history which they may not be able to access in their own countries. (c) For international students from the West, and especially from the US or the UK, who may be in the process of pursuing PhD’s in Islamic, Middle Eastern, Turkish or Ottoman History in their own countries, it opens a window of opportunity involving spending two years in Istanbul and at IHU to take lots of specialized courses in all these fields.
