About the Program
The international Bachelor's programme in History aims to introduce students from Germany (or German-speaking countries) and France (or French-speaking countries) to knowledge and skills in history. Special emphasis lies on specific theoretical and methodological approaches of academic research in history in both Germany and France. The fields of study comprise all central epochs of European and global history. One central feature of the programme is the explicit intercultural dimension: German- and French-speaking participants complete the programme side by side. By working in pairs, they can assist each other with language problems as well as in practical matters. The Bachelor's programme refers to the binational Master's programme in History, which is also organised by Bielefeld University and Université Paris Cité.
