Our Institute was founded in the academic year 1930/31, but its roots can be found earlier. In 1913, even before the restoration of the University of Warsaw (1915), the Office of the Warsaw Historical Society was created, concentrating the Warsaw historical community.The first School of History was established three years later. The School was housed in the old school building (currently the Law and Administration Faculty building), and had only six rooms at its disposal. In view of the birth of new history departments, it became apparent that a single school would not be enough. In order to maintain the common policy of the individual sections, the IH came into being in the academic year 1930/31, being a federation of all the schools.
Today, after 75 years, the Institute employs over 100 academic staff. Students have the opportunity to choose from the rich offer of lectures and MA seminars run by our faculty members. Each year, the Institute of History organizes over 50 MA seminars and over 70 one-semester lectures.
We offer a five-year MA program (day, evening or part-time) as well as a one-year post-graduate program. The core of the MA program is made up of workshop activities connected to the five great historical eras (Antiquity, The Middle Ages, Modernity, 19th Century, Recent History). The courses include workshop activities in relation to each era, specialized classes developing a historian's workshop, a group of activities (lectures and conversatoria) from related subjects (political science, sociology, philosophy, history of art or archeology) as well as activities from within the framework of a chosen professional specialization or a field of study. Each student is required to choose at least one professional specialization or one field of study.
