Jordi Guardiola Cánaves

Jordi Guardiola Cánaves - Student Testimonial Ancient History Leiden University

One of the reasons for choosing the master's programme in Ancient History at Leiden University was its long-standing tradition in the study of History (the most used epigraphic system around the world is called Leiden Conventions).

Moreover, I fell in love with the city as soon as I arrived. Nonetheless, what appealed to me most was the content of the courses, which focus on social history and the history of mentalities and religions, with a special interest in anthropological issues.

Methodologically effective
I really liked how the courses were organised...

I felt that this method enhanced our critical thinking and improved our presentation skills. I also valued the high level of autonomy and flexibility of the courses, which allowed me to combine the whole master's programme with a part-time job in an international school.

Abilities to apply
I intend to pursue a career in education. The master's programme at Leiden University has made me realise how important it is for students to talk about History and to know that we can always reshape how we think about the past. Not only that, it has provided me with the confidence and independence to research and apply new techniques that may improve the quality of the learning process.
