Postgraduate Diploma in Modern and Contemporary History
The Earth is approximately 4.5 billion years old. Human beings, as homo sapiens, emerged in the Paleolithic approximately 250 thousand years ago. In terms of statistical equivalence, this means that everything our race has done covers barely 0.005% of the total chronology of the planet. We are too minuscule a fragment to boast in our anthropocentrism, but at the same time we are a peculiar element that has behind it a trail of fascinating achievements and defeats that invite reflection. Why not delve into everything we have done to rethink what we can achieve? The Postgraduate Diploma in Modern and Contemporary History offered by TECH Global University is an online program aimed at those seeking to specialize in this field. We offer you a pleasantly interactive content based on the relearning educational model, simulated scenarios presented by experts in historiography, flexible hours, among many other advantages that will allow you to easily reach a new career ladder.
Specialize in modern and contemporary history
The contributions left by the epochs prior to our present decade are remarkable. The Renaissance, for example, gave birth to egregious artists of various disciplines such as Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo or El Bosco. The French Revolution was the turning point that gave birth to human rights, the conception of the republic and the idea of a constitution. In the same way, many other unfavorable events took place in previous centuries, such as Italian fascism, the rise of Nazism and the economic crisis of 1929, to cite a few examples. To study our past is to have the basis to transform the present and build the future. The University Expert that we offer you is designed for this purpose. There are four modules in total where you will learn all about the culture, science, religion and politics corresponding to the epochs from the 16th century to the industrial revolution. Nowhere else will you find such a complete course with the ease of distance learning. If you want to give your career an innovative boost, come and enroll with us.
