Study history in the World Heritage city of Bamberg

Have you always wanted to know how the modern societies that exist in the present day developed?

The focus of this programme is on dealing with specific historical issues ranging from ancient times to the present on the basis of modern research findings and independent work with historical sources. This means, for example, examining parameters that enable us to interpret the vestiges and repercussions of historical events in our immediate and wider environment and placing occurrences and facts within a wider historical context. These parameters include politics, society, the economy, culture, ideas and mentalities. To this end, this programme teaches the fundamental theories and concepts of the discipline and selects key events and issues in history from ancient to modern times to be examined in depth.
