To properly comprehend our modern way of life and the challenges it brings, we have to step back and take a thorough look at our history. By adopting a comprehensive scholarly approach, such as that of the B.A. Historical Sciences, we gain an entirely new understanding of very familiar phenomena.
This degree programme has been designed to connect discipline study and interdisciplinary approaches to form a single perspective. It combines the numerous auxiliary sciences and disciplines of history, including Law, Art and Church History as well as Digital History – and rather than focusing exclusively on the major historical eras, allows you to delve into epochal, subject-specific or regional disciplines.
Elements of this accredited degree programme are taught by the Language Centre and various departments across different faculties, drawing from the areas of history, linguistics, cultural studies, philosophy, law and economics.
