    German-French Master's and Doctoral Programme in History - Deutsch-französisches Master- und Doktorandenprogramm in Geschichtswissenschaften

    About

    The German-French Master's and Doctoral Programme is a joint programme of Heidelberg University and the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) Paris. It offers great freedom of choice to the participants. According to the concept of "flux croisés", students spend one year in Paris and one in Heidelberg studying and performing research in their particular field of interest. The cohesion of the group is guaranteed by the students' regular participation in joint workshops, which will take place twice a year in Paris and Heidelberg, respectively. In the framework of these workshops, the students introduce their research projects and discuss a specific aspect linking the two national scientific traditions in a comparative way. The "German-French research colloquium" in Heidelberg (like the "Séminaire franco-allemand" in Paris) brings together all participants of the programme as well as selected MA and PhD students interested in research at the intersection of both countries (in content and/or methods). Within the framework of the colloquium, participants present their research projects (leading to the Master's thesis) in a detailed manner, get insight into theory and methodology of historiography, or attend guest lectures. The Master's thesis, which testifies to the student's ability to conduct research on a specific historical topic, marks the end of a continuous process of discussion and development of the research project together with the supervising professors at both universities. This thesis ("mémoire"/"Masterarbeit") may be understood as a preparation phase for a subsequent dissertation, the content of which can be discussed with the supervising professor from the beginning of the Master's studies. During the students' stay at the guest institution, the local advisers will stay in regular contact with those at their home university.
