Course description

The degree programme aims to achieve a research-oriented, illustrative deepening and expansion of knowledge and skills already acquired in the bachelor’s degree. Its customisation enables a highly individual combination of fields of study to be chosen and teaches in-depth knowledge of ancient history, medieval history, modern history, global history or public history, depending on the chosen discipline.

The aim of the master’s programme in history is to familiarise you with theories and methods within the study of history and in-depth knowledge of your chosen field, guide you towards independent research and enable you to present your findings in an understandable way, oriented towards the target group, in a verbal, written or visual form. You thus acquire important key qualifications for academic and professional practice.

Special arrangements for Global History and Public History:
It is only possible to begin the programme in the winter semester.
