Graduate Diploma in Local, Family and Applied History
Why study the Graduate Diploma in Local, Family and Applied History at UNE?
The Graduate Diploma in Local Family and Applied History is designed specifically for students who are interested in the pursuit of local, family and applied history for personal, community or professional reasons. It offers training in, for example, family and local history sources and approaches, heritage conservation, history and museums, monuments and memorials, oral history, and history in film. It also offers an opportunity to pursue professional development through work experience in an applied history area; locates local, family and applied history within broader practices in researching and presenting history; and introduces the wide variety of work opportunities - paid and voluntary - available to professional historians.
Pathways:
The Graduate Diploma in Local, Family and Applied History (GDLFAH) provides a good foundation for further study in history through the Master of History and, if 500 level units are included in a GDLFAH programme, they can be credited towards the Master of History.
GDLFAH can also provide a route to a Master of Philosophy degree or PhD.
