M.A. in History

The Master of Arts (M.A.) Programme (previously called ‘Course’) in History of Gauhati University is covered in 4 (four) Semesters. The syllabus for MA in History aims at an integrated approach to understanding history in the global, national and regional context. The Syllabus offers 26 Courses over the four semesters:

  • Courses on Understanding History: 4
  • Courses on Global/ Non-Indian history : 3
  • Courses on Indian History: 14
  • Courses on Regional History of India: 4
  • Course on Practical Skills in History Writing: 1

The syllabus acquaints the student with concepts, theories and methods of history and historiography. Apart from political and socio-economic issues it incorporates various aspects of history such as gender, ethnic communities, environmental issues as well as peasants’ struggles. Cultural history forms an important component. It includes art and architecture of India and cultural contacts between India and South East Asia. Emphasis on regional history is reflected with the inclusion of four courses on Assam. Practical application of historical concepts, tools and techniques is facilitated through dissertation writing.
