The odds of you committing to a discipline of history related to your home country are slim. The reality is, if you are truly passionate and committed to your history interest area, it seems completely logical to want to spend time working in the region or even city where the history took place. If you study American history, what better place to look for history jobs than in Philadelphia or Virginia? If your specialty happens to be diasporic movements in Africa, where better to pursue history job opportunities than Ghana or Mali?
In and of itself, working abroad is an incredible opportunity, but for those dedicating their life to the study of past events and human affairs, the question becomes: why not completely immerse yourself in a history job abroad?
The rules of history are the same as the rules of real estate: location, location, location. This sounds simple, but is such an important point that is often overlooked. If you’ve dedicated your life and time to studying South Korean political movements, you want to work in South Korea. With the latter interest area, working in Hungary would never make sense. While there are many avenues you can take to find history jobs abroad, it often makes sense to continue your career in the location that is most related to your focus area.
Washington D.C. History and politics go together like, well, history and politics. Individuals seeking history jobs abroad should look no further than one of the most powerful capital cities in the world. The District of Columbia has everything a historian could possibly dream of, including national monuments, historic buildings, and of course, over 200 years of presidential history.
London. World renown for its culture and history, London presents an ideal place to work abroad in history. With famous museums, historic landmarks, and intricate infrastructure, London (and the surrounding towns) are a fantastic place for historians to develop roots.
Jerusalem. Especially pertinent to those with a hand in religious histories and diaspora, Jerusalem is known across the world as the central home to three of the most historic and popular religions: Judaism, Islam and Christianity. Walk anywhere in this city and you are bound to stumble across a historic marker of the myriad of stories and folklore that surround this ancient capital.
History jobs abroad typically fall under one of three distinct categories: education, research, and archival. By far the most popular and common route, history education jobs abound at all levels abroad. Teaching jobs abroad range from elementary school to university positions and are accessible to nearly anyone with the right qualifications (aka. either a bachelors in education or masters/doctorate in history). History teaching jobs can offer competitive salaries, depending on the type of school and location.
Research fellowships are an excellent example of history jobs abroad that will apply your academic skills to hands-on fieldwork. While much more competitive than other types of history jobs abroad, individuals who do win these coveted positions will be treated to an incredible opportunity to conduct research abroad. Effective fieldwork calls for all kinds of skills and attributes, so be sure to illustrate how you are qualified and contribute to the team in a unique way when applying for history jobs abroad related to research. Research fellowships are all about what you can bring to the team and,of course, producing original, innovative historical research.
Archival positions make up a crucial element of the historical information management community. Archivists are responsible for the maintenance and establishment of the physical and digital records in their care. Archiving positions vary, so employment can be found in government offices, religious, cultural, or educational institutions, and many more. Entry-level history jobs related to archiving generally require at least a bachelor degree, and more often than not, a master’s degree in history or a related social science as well as a basic archival skills.
Salaries range within each of the latter three sub-categories, but any history job abroad will be relative to the local cost of living. That being said, there are some general averages for each type of job:
History Education. Depending on the location, individuals can expect a salary slightly above a “break even” scenario. History teaching jobs offer a range of salaries, based on qualifications and experience, and placement in the organizational structure; if you are part of leadership and administration, you will generally be offered a higher salary. Most history teaching jobs include contracts for one or two years, as well as health insurance, housing, and paid vacation time.
Research. The lower end of the bunch here, most research jobs related to history come in the form of research fellowships, which means salaries and stipends will vary greatly depending on granting organizations or university affiliation. Some grants offer up to $50,000 and above for yearlong research fellowships, while others are not so generous.
Archival. Entry-level history jobs in archival supply an average yearly salary of $45,000. It is crucial to note that this figure will vary greatly depending not only on your country of employment, but also on the type of archiving role. Typically, governmental archivists earn a higher salary than those who work at public or community institutions.
History Up Close. There truly is no greater feeling than being surrounded by the life and culture that you’ve spent your life studying and analyzing. It will feel surreal to live in a place with a history that you know so much about and have spent so much time studying and examining. History jobs abroad give you the chance you have been waiting for, to view history up close and completely immerse yourself in locations that have been influential to the history of the world.
Different Perspectives. It is one thing to study history from the comfort of your home or university, but it is entirely another to work in history from the perspective of the native country. Imagine teaching U.S. American history in England, and what they might teach, or how they might posit on different theoretical or philosophical issues. Now you can see why working in the country of focus is so imperative.

Program: Melbourne Gap Year: Paid Work Opportunities in Australia
Joining the Melbourne Gap Year tour with Grabatour was the best way to start my working holiday in Australia. From day one, everything was well-organized, and the team made sure we had all the essentials sorted—bank accounts, tax file numbers, SIM cards, and even job support. It took away all the stress of settling in and allowed me to focus on enjoying the experience. The itinerary was a perfect balance of practical help and exciting activities. We explored Melbourne’s vibrant laneways, visited St. Kilda Beach, and got to experience the city’s amazing food and coffee culture. The guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to help with anything we needed. One of the best parts of the tour was the people. I met an incredible group of fellow travelers, and the shared experiences made it easy to form friendships. Even after the tour ended, we stayed in touch and continued exploring Australia together. If you’re planning a working holiday in Australia, I highly recommend this tour. It gives you the perfect start, a great group of friends, and the confidence to begin your adventure the right way!

A fantastic way to experience Australia. Our group was a diverse mix of people and we did activities that we all enjoyed. Really recommend this gap year tour for anyone wanting to come out to Oz! Helps you out so much and you have a really fun time making some friends along the way!!


Absolutely class!! The team did a great job. Really appreciate the help given for finding work and booking travels. Met such a great mix of people, who all make you feel welcome and just had a good laugh during the intro week. Tour guides felt more like friends than guides, and still managed to keep everyone safe, informed and entertained. One of the best times of my life, and worth every penny!!

Program: Melbourne Gap Year: Paid Work Opportunities in Australia
Having read all the reviews, we decided to join this program for our working holiday in Australia. We had such an amazing time in Melbourne and got to see so much of the city during the intro week. I appreciate all that is written in the positive reviews. Activities were great from the start. The other people who were going in our group was nice and friendly. They kept their word and that is very important. Additionally, they helped us out with all the Aussie admin stuff during the intro week and supported us with farm work opportunities in Queensland since we all wanted to do the 88 days regional work for the second year visa extension. Highly recommended!

The intro week in Sydney was amazing. Lots of incredible moments and adventures to be had on this trip. For a solo traveler I would definitely recommend this Oz gap year experience for anyone looking to begin their journey in Australia be it for travel or work, they help you every step and this is also a great way to make friends along the way who you may continue to travel with or see again during your time in Australia.


Program: Melbourne Gap Year: Paid Work Opportunities in Australia
Booking this paid work package was one of the best decisions I’ve made. I would recommend it to anyone. The week itself is definitely worth the money since we experienced many amazing activities such as wine tasting penguin spotting getaway trip etc.. and all the extra help especially employment help from the team is what makes this tour so unique. Everyone involved goes above and beyond to help support you and make you feel like home. I got my first job Down Under in Northern territory to extend my second year visa thank to the team. Much appreciated!!
Program: Jobs and internships in Spain
As there was always someone to inform me or for me to ask if I had any difficulties. Once I arrived to my destination, as they were already expecting me the process was smooth and I was shown where I would be staying and given a brief guide on where and what I would be doing. I greatly enjoyed my internship and the bar work exceeded my expectations. The work was enjoyable and very social as I was able to meet hundreds of people every day and there was events to make things more interesting. Initially I expected to do some basic cooking but much to my surprise as summer started there were fun weekly events such as the barbecue and paella evenings which were held outside on the terrace. As about the accommodation - the room was spacious and included sufficient space for all my belongings and alongside this included a table and some other shelves and drawers and a large floor space. The beds were clean and I was able to change my own sheets whenever I felt necessary. I have definitely achieved my goal which was to develop my Spanish speaking skills. At first I was unable to speak and on some occasions dealing with colleagues and customers proved difficult. But without a doubt I can say I had a fantastic summer and made some amazing friends who I have already planned to meet with again. My Spanish ability is considerably better as I feel confident to hold a conversation on a variety of topics and work in a Spanish speaking environment with minimal problems. The area itself was a beautiful place and on my days off I used the opportunity to visit the tourist sites, but also as I spoke and got to know local people, I discovered lesser known areas such as a nearby fishing spot only 20 minutes away from the city centre. All my expectations were satisfied and even more. The living conditions that the hotel offered us were very good and comfortable. I met people from all over the world and experiences and emotions were wonderful. The experience I gained there was very useful for my future and the profession I have been focusing on.
