Among historical courses, the following are particularly popular:

• Heritage (traditions) — this is an interdisciplinary field that relies heavily on the approaches of various disciplines: anthropology, archaeology, architecture, history, sociology, and psychology. The heritage studies curriculum examines the significance of national symbols, ceremonies and rituals, and cultural heritage sites at local, national, regional, continental, and global levels. Historical landmarks offer a glimpse into the past while simultaneously strengthening a sense of belonging.
• Archaeology — this is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture, which may be represented in the form of structures, artifacts, biofacts, or objects. Archaeology combines history and science to uncover the remains of the past and gain deep insight into the lives of ancestors. Archaeology offers the opportunity to choose a deeply meaningful career path that encompasses everything — from lost scrolls to mapping the trade routes of ancient civilizations. The program covers excavation techniques and ancient texts. Some common modules include archaeology and forensic science, paleobotany, artifact analysis, and archaeological practices.
• Ancient history encompasses the study of Greek, Egyptian, Mesopotamian, and Roman civilizations. Students studying ancient history become acquainted in chronological order with the events that led to the rise, rule, expansion, and fall of these empires; their architecture, socio-economic conditions, governmental structure, and culture are examined. Ancient history can be studied at secondary school, undergraduate, master's, and doctoral levels. Common course modules that students may study include biochemistry, anatomy related to anesthesia, pharmacology, hematology, physiology related to anesthesia, physics related to anesthesia, and pathology.
