Overview
The Master's course "History and Culture" is a consecutive study programme, which is based on relevant historical and cultural Bachelor’s degrees. Further information about the admission can be found under "Application"
In the Master’s degree programme History and Culture, you can choose from a list of subjects a combination of one major- and one minor course, thereby you have to follow certain combination rules. These subjects form the course content of your in-depth studies.
The 4-semester multi-subject Master's course History and Culture (Geschichts- und Kulturwissenschaften (GuK)) is a strongly research-oriented Master's degree course. It provides the framework for a combination of a variety of historically, philologically and culturally-oriented study subjects of the faculties 03 and 04, e.g. the subjects:
- Protestant and Catholic Theology,
- History,
- Eastern European History,
- Classical Archaeology,
- Greek and Latin Philology,
- Art History,
- Art Education,
- Music,
- Philosophy.
It is also structured such that its individual subjects can be combined with the philological subjects of the faculty 05 (German Studies, English Language, Romance Languages, Slavic Languages) and with the subjects Sociology, Political Science and Education (faculty 03).
The subjects which have come together in the multi-subject course of studies History and Culture have configured their syllabuses in such a way so that they are able to combine not only among themselves but also to allow participation in further subjects.
Within the framework of the multi-subject Master`s course History and Culture, the students extend their historical, critical-hermeneutic and also philological and rhetorical linguistic competences, which were acquired in preceding BA studies at JLU Gießen or equivalent humanistic BA studies at other universities. Students will also deal with art education and artistic design.
With this the graduates are not only all personally and academically set for everyday life in science-, media- and information-based society, but also for the taking over of higher social responsibility.
They can recognize and understand developments in society, science and their professional area quickly and react adequately and flexibly.
