Course programme
The current course catalogue of the Master's degree programme Atlantic Studies/ History, Culture and Society can be found under the following link.
The research colloquium is a compulsory course of the basic module "Research Debates" in the specialisation Interdisciplinary Studies. It must be attended for at least one semester.
However, it is strongly recommended that you attend this course for the entire duration of the Master's degree programme, with the exception of the period spent abroad, as this is the central discussion forum of the Centre for Atlantic and Global Studies, to which speakers from Germany and abroad are invited.
The Centre for Atlantic and Global Studies provides information on the current programme:
Students of the specialization “Interdisciplinary Studies” of the Master Atlantic Studies/ History, Culture and Society have the opportunity to attend courses in ethnology at the University of Göttingen as part of a teaching cooperation and to have them credited in the compulsory elective area.
