About the Program
The study of history focuses on human action, behaviour and thought under changing natural, social and temporal conditions.

After the school placement semester, students acquire in-depth knowledge of all epochs through the application of academic methodology, while having the opportunity to focus on specific epochs and regions. The program follows the Jena model, which includes a five-month school placement semester in the fifth or sixth semester.
