MA/MS in Geschichtswissenschaft

This research-oriented consecutive master provides advanced training across history, covering long-term and period-specific developments in European and non-European regions and the history of the discipline. Students must take four modules from at least two eras and apply theory-guided interpretation of the past. The qualification awarded is the Master of Arts. The regular study period is 4 semesters. Teaching is in German. New students start in the winter semester and summer semester. Entry builds on a first university degree, and the subject's admission statute (Zugangssatzung) sets any further requirements. Whether a place is restricted admission (NC) or open admission (zulassungsfrei) is reviewed every semester, and first-semester and higher-semester entry are handled separately. The programme page also links to current application and enrolment dates, the study and examination regulations, and further guidance for prospective students and for applicants with international qualifications, as well as the advisory services open to students.
