History and Mission

One of the most important missions of universities, along with training young professionals, is to cultivate a sense of national identity among them. This is doubly important in the fields of humanities, especially in the field of history. Studying in this field can lead to the formation of national self-awareness, which is the prelude to cognition and active action in the global arena. One of the most important aspects of Iran's identity is the Persian Gulf and the history of this international waterway. In this regard, from the beginning of the establishment of the Persian Gulf University, it was necessary to launch a history course at a university that is decorated with the long name of the Persian Gulf. Finally, in 2006, the history department of this university began its work by accepting undergraduate students. According to the aforementioned mission, in 2009 the Department of History of Persian Gulf Studies was established by the Department of History to deepen and develop the historical studies of the Persian Gulf. In 2012, the Department of History also established a doctoral program in the history of post-Islamic Iranian history, thus becoming one of the most important centers of history studies with an emphasis on Persian Gulf studies.

Areas of employment

Employment opportunities are provided for history graduates in both government and non-government careers. In the government dimension, employment in the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance, the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Tourism, the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology, etc. is possible. Fortunately, in recent years, the employment rate of history graduates in some ministries has grown promisingly.However, in recent years, due to the change in job attitudes in the younger generation, the hope of employment of history graduates in the form of new businesses based on the principle of entrepreneurship and innovation has also been provided. Unparalleled awareness and high specialized vocabulary capacity in the field of history compared to other academic disciplines can provide different fields of activity, fields of activity in content production based groups and many other areas. Equipped with new technologies, skills while studying, and understanding of history graduates' understanding of the need for team building for progress and success, this is not far off.
