MA/MS in Alte Geschichte - Klassikstudien

This interdisciplinary M.A. in Alte Geschichte - Klassikstudien is run jointly by the Lehrstuhl fur Alte Geschichte, housed in the Institute for History, and the university's Zentrum fur Klassikstudien, which also hosts a regular research colloquium, conferences with guests from Germany and abroad, and a shared lecture series. The four-semester course moves through an orientation phase that fills gaps and strengthens language skills, a main study phase focused on research-oriented learning and practical competence (including a possible semester abroad), and a final phase devoted to the Masterarbeit. Thematic electives let students specialise in areas such as ancient landscapes, social history, cultural history or political history, and a minimum four-week internship, supervised by the programme's own academic advising, connects study to possible career fields. Graduates move into research, academic teaching, education, the cultural sector, museums, publishing, qualified travel guiding, business, and university administration or public-relations roles. The Regelstudienzeit is 4 semesters (120 ECTS), with admission through an aptitude assessment and enrolment possible in both the Winter- and Sommersemester.
