Overview

The unique Mediterranean History programme offered by University of Konstanz examines trans-Mediterranean dynamics and entanglements over a period of 3,000 years: from antiquity to the 21st century. It provides bachelor graduates in history and cultural studies with a cross-period knowledge of the history, cultures and languages of Mediterranean societies, which is equally important for academic careers and non-academic professions.

Career prospects:

The MA Mediterranean History prepares you optimally for professional life.

Firstly, it enables you to understand temporally distant and culturally foreign worlds: Empathy and exegesis as well as the ability to conduct independent research in unfamiliar surroundings are key qualifications for a wide range of professional fields.

Secondly, you will deepen and practise your oral and written foreign language skills: in English-language courses, in discussions with foreign students and during your semester or internship abroad. This practice of multilingualism opens up a wide range of options for you on the German and international labour market.

Thirdly, the international contacts and networks of Constance History will pave the way for you into attractive professional fields at home and abroad:

Intercultural Dialogue and Academic Exchange
Policy Advice and Knowledge Transfer
Peace Policy, Development Cooperation, Humanitarian Aid
