About the Program
The TübAix Master's programme aims at introducing or consolidating students from German-speaking countries and French-speaking countries to a binational approach to historical studies. A special emphasis is placed on 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 central epochs of European history as well as global approaches, 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 programme of both universities, as well as seminars in auxiliary sciences of history. 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 one another as they work in tandem. The Franco-German University awards the students of the TübAix programme with a scholarship during the year abroad.
