Description from UVic:
Interlinking scholarship with community-based fieldÌýresearch—in effect drawing on the strengths of both academicÌýresearchÌýand experiential learning—our graduateÌýstreamÌýprovides individual learners with key competencies designed to prepare them for a career in education, public history, museum and archival work, human rights education, journalism, public advocacy, and law. Our program also provides students with a solid interdisciplinary foundation for further PhDÌýstudiesÌýinÌýHolocaustÌýStudies, GenocideÌýStudies, or Human Rights and EquityÌýStudies.
We are the only dedicated graduate program in Holocaust studies in Canada. Students benefit from seminar-sized classes; a range of opportunities to study abroad at one of our partner universities in Berlin (Germany), Vienna (Austria), or WrocÅ‚aw (Poland); experiential learning opportunities including theÌýÌýonÌýHolocaust memorialization in Europe and practicum placements at Holocaust museums or memorial sites; and direct involvement in teacher education.
Funding packages are guaranteed for each student accepted to the program.Ìý
