The master’s degree course in History trains you to become a professional historian
The programme has a unique character due to the combination of a broad common curriculum and specialisations. All students follow a number of basic subjects and choose one of the specialisations. Furthermore, you will have the option to choose an internship, tutorials and electives. You can write your master’s thesis on a topic of your choice within the broader field of your specialisation.
