Bachelor of Arts (B.A.)

About the Program

The Historical Institute was founded in 1863 as the first in Prussia and the fourth in Germany. Five professorships represent the individual historical epochs, auxiliary sciences, and, across epochs, the history of certain regions. Courses are offered on Ancient History, Medieval History, Early Modern History, Modern History including Contemporary History, as well as Nordic and Eastern European History. The areas of Subject Didactics and Historical Auxiliary Sciences are also represented. A special focus of research and teaching is the history of the Baltic Sea region - from prehistoric times to the present - and its diverse political, economic and cultural connections to other regions in Europe and overseas. The program includes mandatory excursions and recommends study abroad opportunities. Bachelor students complete the History module in five basic and three advanced modules within the six-semester program, each concluding with examinations at the end of the semester. The Bachelor's program includes, in addition to the History module, another Bachelor of Arts subject of the student's choice and, to a lesser extent, 'General Studies' with language courses, rhetoric, and writing practice. A 300-hour internship is also a component of the Bachelor's program.
