About the Program

The main goal of the minor field program in History is to provide an overview of the historical periods from classical antiquity to the 20th century, the ability to take a critical stance on the past and its interpretations and portrayals, insight into how history has shaped the development and conditions of contemporary society, an in-depth understanding for the otherness of past and foreign living environments through the study of the diachronic development of various cultures, and the ability to engage in networked thinking. The course of study also enables students to develop research questions on their own, conduct independent research, reflect critically on different research positions on concrete topics, and, most importantly, to employ the methods, critical approaches, and tools of the historian.
