The subject history is offered as one of two subjects within the Interdisciplinary Bachelor’s Degree Programme. Please note the subject combination options.
The range of courses offered by the History Department covers German and European history, African history as well as the history of Latin America and the Caribbean, focusing on the periods of Ancient History, Medieval History, Early Modern and Modern History / Contemporary History.
The degree programme is modular, comprising an introductory area and an area of specialisation. The introductory area is compulsory, and is identical for all History students at the Bachelor’s level. In contrast, the number of History specialisation modules to be taken in the compulsory elective area depends on whether History is taken as a major or minor subject; it also depends on whether students wish to complete a degree in Teacher Education or prefer to prepare for different a career option as a historian. The latter aspect also plays a role in the placements students need to take as part of the Bachelor’s degree programme.
Career Opportunities
