School of Historical Studies
The School of Historical Studies' teaching covers many of the key areas of human societies and includes programs at all levels: research degrees, postgraduate coursework, and majors within the Bachelor of Arts and the Bachelor of Letters. It forms an active research community, producing many publications for both scholarly and general audiences. There is an active postgraduate and staff seminar program, and the postgraduate research students publish their own journal, Eras. The School also has its own publications series. To raise community awareness of the importance of history and heritage the School established the Institute for Public History in 2004. The School also offers a graduate program in Civil Ceremonies.
