Albanian College offers Diploma Programme courses in History and Geography. Studying any one of these subjects provides for the development of a critical appreciation of:

• Human experience and behaviour.
• The varieties of physical, economic and social environments that people inhabit.
• The history of social and cultural institutions.

The Diploma Programme (DP) History course is a world history course based on a comparative, multi-perspective approach to history and focused around key historical concepts such as change, causation and significance. It involves the study of a variety of types of history, including political, economic, social and cultural, encouraging students to think historically and to develop historical skills. In this way, the course involves a challenging and demanding critical exploration of the past. The DP history course requires students to study and compare examples from different regions of the world, helping to foster international mindedness. Teachers have a great deal of freedom to choose relevant examples to explore with their students, helping to ensure that the course meets their students’ needs and interests regardless of their location or context.
