Many subject-related questions are connected with a degree program. This page contains all the information you need about the structure of the program, including details about the course sequence, modules offered, and detailed module descriptions. Additionally, the necessary forms for registering your project work and bachelor’s thesis have been compiled here. Do you have further questions and are you looking for individual advice? Do you already know our Student Advisory Center? In the service area of this page you will find your responsible advising person.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Model curricula are recommendations. You are not obliged to adhere to all parts of the model curricula of your degree programs. Formally binding are the participation requirements for modules as described in the corresponding module catalog of your degree program. This results in the respective model course of study as a plausible course structure. For the first two semesters in particular, we strongly recommend that you stick exactly to your model in order to find your way around the degree program. If you have any questions, or in exceptional cases, you are welcome to contact the Academic Advisory Office<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \n\n \n<\/jgu-base-teaserbox>\n\n\n \n<\/jgu-base-teaserbox>\n\n\n \n<\/jgu-base-teaserbox>\n\n\n \n<\/jgu-base-teaserbox>\n\n<\/jgu-base-slider>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/jgu-base-section>\n\n\n

The module catalog contains information on the duration, credit points, examination types, prerequisites, learning outcome, workload, learning forms, content, and module coordinators of the modules and courses of a degree program. It also defines the admission requirements for individual modules.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Basic module 7 (Studium Generale 1: “Interdisciplinarity”) is a module that is offered and organized externally by Studium Generale<\/a>. The aim of this module is to demonstrate interdisciplinarity as a method and promote it as a competence and to maintain the still valid idea of interdisciplinary learning that transcends subject boundaries, even under the conditions of the new study regulations, and to anchor it firmly in the course sequence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students should become familiar with the methods, content, and terminology of other fields as well as the added value, but also the requirements, of interdisciplinary approaches. The module is to enable students to deal with fundamental and current problems across subject boundaries. It supplements specialist knowledge with general basic and orientation knowledge and serves to integrate specialist knowledge into higher-level contexts. It trains interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary skills, methodological and analytical skills as well as creative and networked thinking – both with regard to the students’ further academic papers and their appointments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The content of this Studium Generale is based on the respective offers of the central university institution \u201cStudium Generale\u201d and its lecture series that changes each semester. They are supplemented by accompanying practice classes; Studium Generale and the History Seminar decide in close cooperationon who will lead them. The lecture series and practice classes must be attended regularly. Work assignments are given in the practice classes and active employee participation is required. However, there is no graded final examination, the performance in this module is not included in the final grade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besonders hinweisen m\u00f6chte das Studium Generale dabei auf die allj\u00e4hrlich im Sommersemester eingerichtete Johannes Gutenberg-Stiftungsprofessur, die gleichfalls im Rahmen dieses Moduls gew\u00e4hlt werden kann.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n\n \n<\/jgu-base-buttonitem>\n\n<\/jgu-base-button>\n\n\n \n<\/jgu-base-buttonitem>\n\n<\/jgu-base-button>\n\n<\/jgu-base-slider>\n\n\n<\/jgu-base-accordionitem>\n\n\n \n\n

Advanced modules are basically modules of a master’s degree program. They consist of a thematic lecture, an advanced seminar, and a practice class. As part of the Bachelor of Arts History major degree program, students can already take part in an advanced module already at bachelor’s level. While there are regionally specialized advanced modules (Regional History, East European History, Byzantine Studies) in the Master of Arts degree program, only the period-related advanced modules Ancient History, Medieval History, and Modern History are offered in the Bachelor of Arts program, to which the courses of the regionally specialized advanced modules are usually also assigned \u201cpolyvalently\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When designing these advanced modules, the Department of History has decided to give you a certain degree of optionality: you can either put together a thematically coherent advanced module within one of the three major historical periods, in which the three courses are thematically related to each other (this is more in line with the core idea of the Bologna Process), or you can opt for three thematically different courses in order to cover a wider range of topics. There are good reasons for either option, and we would like to put this decision in your hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to note that you must choose one of the three major historical periods- all three courses are then within this major historical period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n\n

Apart from that, the following requirements apply for attending an advanced module:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
