Annotation

How is Europe developing politically and socially in the present? And how can different historical and cultural experiences in Europe be understood in this context?
These complex questions can only be explored through different perspectives. Our degree programme therefore follows a "three-pillar approach" to foster a holistic understanding of Europe.
- Interdisciplinary: whether law, economics, political sciences, cultural studies, literary studies, linguistics, social anthropology or history – each of these disciplines offers new facets on the subject of Europe
- Comparative: the focus is not on Eastern or Western Europe, but on joint integration processes and interactions.
- Cross-Cultural: Through intercultural projects and stays abroad, theory comes to life and becomes practically applicable.
