The Department of History has complete historical discipline branches, focusing on the teaching and research of European and American regional history, modern global history and cross-national historical event evolution. It has always attracted overseas students who are engaged in historical culture sorting, regional historical research and cultural heritage inheritance related work to study here.

The course system sorts out the context of world historical development in an all-round way, and sets up elective courses with regional characteristics such as American local history, European cultural history and modern international diplomatic history. In the process of learning, students need to master historical data sorting methods and historical event logical deduction thinking, and learn to objectively analyze and interpret historical events from multiple perspectives.
The department has rich historical literature resources and convenient historical materials query channels, which can provide students with sufficient basic support for historical research. Many teachers have long been committed to the research of cross-national historical cultural exchanges and modern historical trend evolution, and can guide international students to carry out comparative research on the historical development process of different regions. Graduates can be engaged in historical culture research, cultural museum management and overseas historical and cultural popularization work, and their professional historical literacy is widely recognized in the industry.
