Short Description

The subject history is offered as one of two subjects within the Interdisciplinary Bachelor’s Degree Programme. Please note the subject combination options.

The range of courses offered by the History Department covers German and European history, African history as well as the history of Latin America and the Caribbean, focusing on the periods of Ancient History, Medieval History, Early Modern and Modern History / Contemporary History.

In cooperation with extramural institutions, prospective historians pursue practice-oriented elements and experience being involved in historical projects for the first time in institutions such as museums, memorials and archives. This practice orientation enables students to get an idea of the career options they may like to pursue, if they do not want to go into teaching. Regular field trips provide insights into a wide range of cultural history institutions, both in Germany and abroad.
