Geschichte mit Schwerpunkt Moderne
Enrolment in the first or a higher semester is possible for the last time in the 2026/27 winter semester. Re-registration is possible until the 2030 summer semester; until then, the programme can be studied as usual. Upon request, it will then also be possible to transfer to the successor programme Geschichte (B.A.).
Further information is available from the student advisory service.
Curriculum
The B.A. Geschichte mit Schwerpunkt Moderne combines a fundamental education in the subject of History (mandatory fields of study: Recent History and History of Technology, elective fields of study: Ancient History and Medieval History) with a focus on courses of Modern History (1800 and after).
Mentor System: All students are assigned a mentor at the beginning of the programme with whom they are required to have meetings throughout the first two semesters of the programme.
