Annotation
The subject History teaches you orientation knowledge and in-depth skills in the field of History and Historical Culture. It takes account of the fact that historical knowledge and historical orientation are becoming increasingly important due to accelerated social change. The subject combines diversified basic historical education with application-oriented skills. It therefore teaches practical skills in handling and applying historical knowledge.
The Bachelor's degree programme as a minor subject covers the basics of History while also teaching application-oriented fundamental principles, and is therefore a logical addition to courses such as those in the field of Literature, Culture, Politics and Social Sciences.
Our particular strengths:
There are two additional variants that set the subject of History apart. Firstly, there is the option of linking the first major in History with the second major in History of Specialist Journalism. In this subject, special emphasis is placed on teaching Media Science skills and Journalism skills. Secondly, the major subject offers the option of specialising in Eastern European History.
History can be studied as part of the degree courses in History and Cultural Studies (GuK) and Language, Literature, Culture (SLK) at the Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen.
