The Department of
History was refounded in 1991, initially with a section in History – a foreign
language (English, French, German, Latin) and in 1993, two more sections were
added: History and Theology-History.
Currently, the
department has approx. 100 students (in all three sections), the places
supported by the Ministry being doubled by the places for which students have to
pay an annual fee.
The curriculum
comprises fundamental disciplines specific to the study of history: the history
of Romania, universal history, the history of arts, the history of religions,
archaeology, ethnology, auxiliary sciences, museum management, medieval studies,
the history of the Byzanthium, the history of the European Union, national
movements in Romanian provinces, etc.
The material
support offered by the faculty secures excellent teaching conditions.
The teachers
working in the department are helped by associate professors from other
faculties (Sociology, Pedagogy, Philosophy, Psychology) as well as by
specialists from the Museum of the Banat and the State Archives- the Timis
Branch.
Besides the
teaching activities, the department also has an intense practical activity:
-
with the
1st year students – archaeological practice on the sites of
Tibiscum (Roman urban setting), Sanicolaul Mare (prefeudal necropolis), Cenad
(early medieval setting), Ciacova (feudal setting)
-
with the
2nd year students – archive practice in the State Archives – the
Timis Branch and the Museum of the Banat
-
with the
3rd year students – teaching practice in schools in Timisoara
To improve the
students’ activity, three scientific circles have been organized: archaeology
(since 19910, medieval studies (since 1993) and modern and contemporary history
(since 1994).
Within the
student exchange programs with the Universiites of Udine (Italy), Graz
(Austria), Tulca (Finland), students benefit from scholarships that last in
between 3 or six months to one year.
The Department of
History has been organizing local and national conferences, the papers presented
being published in the volume Studies in the History of the Banat.
The students have their own review, entitled, Arhé.
