Message from the Chair of Department
Dr Sipokazi Madida, Chair of Department of History
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the Department of History. Our department is pleased to receive great numbers of new and returning students. We are a dedicated team of developing and established historians with a passion for the production of critical historical knowledge. We value quality and honest scholarship. Thus, we encourage a true quest for knowledge and a genuine interest in acquiring skills to produce credible histories for the current and future generations.
All our undergraduate and postgraduate programmes are designed to develop an understanding of various histories within their historical contexts and to train students to conduct historical research, critically analyse historical sources, develop their own arguments based on historical research, and demonstrate advanced communication skills as they convey their arguments. All our programmes present opportunities for students to produce their own histories based on their own interpretations.
To us, all stories matter - from individual and family life stories to global-scale events. Together, we make history, and we look forward to another successful and enriching academic year of making history!
