Master's Programme in Manuscript Cultures

About

The Master's programme in Manuscript Cultures is a one-year course of study (60 ECTS points) that conveys central topics in the field of general manuscript research combined with specific skills. The degree programme promotes independent, critical, and analytical work with manuscripts. Students learn how to conduct cultural and scientific examinations of the texts, images, notes, and diagrams contained in the manuscripts (including the scientific material analysis). They develop creative approaches to answering complex scientific and scholarly questions. The covered range of manuscript cultures includes Asian, African, and European cultures. The Master's programme is fostered by the Centre for the Study of Manuscript Cultures (CSMC) and its "Understanding Written Artefacts" Cluster of Excellence.Â Dedicated students benefit from the extensive range of guest lectures, conferences, and workshops offered in this specialist research environment.
