The degree programme in Global History offered by Heidelberg University, gives students profound insight into the processes by which borders have been historically transgressed.
The Master’s degree programme teaches a new world and global history, concerned with interactions, mobility and relations within and between different parts of the world since the Middle Ages and the emergence of our increasingly interwoven, globalised world of today. Students in the Master’s degree will also have the opportunity - either comparatively or through in-depth courses - to engage with the histories of different world regions: amongst them, those of Eastern and Western Europe, South and East Asia, the Middle East, North and South America, and of Oceania. A broad range of courses on offer include introductory classes on (global) historical theory and methodology; survey lectures on the history of the modern world; and thematically focussed seminars, covering topics such as the history of pandemics, dictatorships, and piracy, the global book trade, world commerce, and oceanic crossings.
