Those completing the program acquire the ability to work on their own ambitious topics and critically discuss methodological and theoretical concepts. They learn to think in terms of complex historical contexts and present them in a structured manner. The study program provides a high-level academic training. A Master’s degree enables students to develop their own individual profile and qualifies them for ambitious professional challenges.
