Introduction

The PIUDHist is an interuniversity doctoral program in History, established through a protocol between four Portuguese university institutions: the University of Lisbon through the Institute of Social Sciences and the Faculty of Letters; ISCTE - University Institute of Lisbon; the Portuguese Catholic University; the University of Évora through the Institute of Research and Advanced Training (IIFA), and CIDEHUS. The PIUDHist constitutes a doctoral program in History, without any mention of specialization. It has four main thematic axes: Social Dynamics and Political Structures; Institutions and Economic Development; Empires, Colonialism, and Post-colonialism; Intellectual and Sociocultural Movements. Its aim is to ensure advanced training in History by providing knowledge of recent developments in the main historiographical domains; enabling the confrontation between different methodological perspectives in the understanding of historical objects; opening up the interpretation of historical objects to contributions from different social sciences; exploring the comparative dimension of complex historical phenomena; providing conceptual and methodological tools suitable for historical research projects; promoting students' contact with the international historiographical community by encouraging participation in seminars and conferences of expertise; encouraging students' participation in research projects and networks associated with their dissertation topics.

Professional Careers

The program contents and skills developed in the Interuniversity Doctorate in History - PIUDHist - qualify students to enter professional environments that extend well beyond the traditional professions associated with History. It is our conviction that the analytical and critical discussion skills, coupled with the ability to perceive reality in its complexity, will enable students to address specific problems in relation to a constantly changing world with global contours. In other words, competent professionals and participatory citizens are trained, capable of integrating into national and foreign higher education and scientific research institutions; local, regional, national, and international cultural institutions; national and international scientific administration and political decision-making institutions; the media; new creative industries and cultural production companies; and the diplomatic corps.
