About the Program
The TübAix Bachelor's programme aims at introducing students from German-speaking countries and French-speaking countries to a binational approach to historical studies. Special emphasis lies in the specific theoretical and methodological approaches of academic research in France and Germany, familiarising the students with both university systems. The fields of study include all epochs of European history as well as global approaches that are specific to each university. For example, Tübingen offers the study of North American and Eastern European history. Aix-Marseille focuses on the African and Middle Eastern areas. Regional studies are included in the programmes of both universities, as well as seminars in auxiliary sciences of history. In Tübingen, the students also select a minor, such as geography, French or German literature, or history of art for the duration of their studies at the German university. The intercultural dimension is at the heart of the programme, as French- and German-speaking students complete their studies side by side and are able to assist each other as they work in tandem. The Universities of Tübingen and Aix-Marseille also offer the TübAix Master's programme in history, based on the TübAix Bachelor's programme. The Franco-German University awards students of the TübAix programme with a scholarship during the year abroad. French students with Abibac, for example, or with sufficient German proficiency can also apply and start at the University of Tübingen.
