Program details
Overview
The consecutive Master of Arts in Global History reconstructs the history of global connections and processes that operate across regions. It combines historical scholarship with the specialised expertise of regional studies, so students gain detailed knowledge of a region's culture, society and language.
Rather than offering a broad overview of global history, the programme places each region's history within wider structures, exchange relations and perspectives. Module topics include the controversies of contemporary history. The programme is run jointly by Freie Universität Berlin and Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.
Students build knowledge of how regional expertise and historical method work together. The programme is taught in English and suits graduates who want to study global connections through specific regions. Admission status is confirmed each semester.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Above-average Bachelor degree in history, regional studies, or a programme with at least 35 credit points in history or regional studies. Admission status is set each semester: restricted admission (NC) or open admission (zulassungsfrei), assessed separately for 1st-semester and higher-semester applicants.
