Departments of the Faculty of History

    The Faculty of History at Moscow State University is divided into fourteen departments.  Each department is made up of faculty members whose academic specializations, research interests and expertise correspond to specific periods, geographic regions, socio-cultural phenomenon, or sub-disciplines of historical science.  Owing to the fact that each department functions as an independent academic unit under the administration of the Faculty of History, course and degree requirements may vary according to specialization.
