The master’s degree program \u201cMedieval and Early Modern Studies\u201d is aimed at students who have developed a special interest in the history of the Middle Ages and the early modern period during their bachelor’s degree. It offers well-founded, method-guided, interdisciplinary academic training that is closely aligned with practical research. In line with their respective research interests, students choose a chronological focus on one of the two periods. The ten required elective subjects to choose from allow them to develop or consolidate their own individual interdisciplinary skills and incorporate them directly into their own research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
