Master's Program in History

About

The research-oriented master's program in History is based on a bachelors program in the same field of study. The core content of the program is the application-oriented study of current theories and research approaches in history. Students have the opportunity to choose their own specializations in the fields ofAncient History, Medieval History, Modern Times, Contemporary History and Economic History. During their studies, they are closely involved in current research projects at the Department of History.

As part of a two-semester project work that is carried out in cooperation with museums, memorial sites, archives, publishing houses or media institutions, students will also expand their theoretical knowledge by gaining valuable practical experience in the communication of historical knowledge.

The elective module Interdisciplinary Diversification enables students enrolled in our master's program to broaden their horizon and take a look at areas outside their department, for example Sociology, Economic and Legal History, Economics, Media and Communication Studies or Political Science.
