Culture and Technology - History of Science and Technology (B.A.)

The bachelors program in Culture and Technology provides you with a comprehensive understanding of the complex interrelation between these two areas. Within the core subject History of Science and Technology you concentrate on the development of science and technology from antiquity to the present. You acquire diverse skills to evaluate technical and scientific changes over long periods of time and the social causes and effects of these changes, taking account of gender aspects, as well as to identify the relationship of these changes to current problems.

In the general component of the curriculum, you learn the technical, methodological, and social skills needed to understand the mental, social, and material dimensions of the modern world and their correlation. You learn to bridge the gap between the humanities and cultural studies and natural and technical sciences and understand the position science holds in society from a transdisciplinary perspective.

As for every other bachelors degree program at TU Berlin, applicants must possess a university entrance qualification certificate to apply. Generally, the Abitur serves as the university entrance qualification certificate. If you do not have a formal university entrance qualification, you may still be able to study at TU Berlin if you can provide proof of certain professional qualifications. 

The bachelors program in Culture and Technology with the core subject History of Science and Technology is taught in German. If you are applying with a foreign school-leaving certificate, you must provide proof of German skills at a specific level. This is a prerequisite for admission.

Knowledge of English is useful as some courses and professional literature are offered in English. However, this is not a condition for admission to studies.
