MA/MS in Geschichte

The consecutive, research-oriented Master's programme in History deepens knowledge of several epochal, regional and thematic sub-disciplines of the subject. Students shape an individual focus of study and research, and may also build an interdisciplinary profile. Theoretical, methodological and conceptual work, intensive source analysis and close reading train independent and critical research. The programme builds on presentation, argumentation and research skills acquired earlier and makes room for practical experience alongside study. The four-semester programme is taught in German and can begin in either the winter or the summer semester. Applicants take part in the subject's aptitude procedure, which has published deadlines, some of them early. Students write their work on source material and develop their own research questions within the subject.
