Tips and decision-making aids for choosing an apprenticeship

History focuses on the past. However, the Bachelor of History is firmly anchored in the present. It is about examining events, processes and structures in the past on the basis of questions from the present. Central to this are the phenomena and developments of past cultures and societies - for power relations and trade routes, for festive cultures and social conflicts, for famine crises and political symbols, for medical knowledge and family relationships, for warlike events and material cultures. The past can be interpreted by analyzing and interpreting sources and critically examining existing research. And this creates an awareness of the scope for action and the ability to shape the present and the future. The History Bachelor therefore has an important influence on the present.

There is usually a wide range of specialization options for a Bachelor's degree in History: from economic history to social history, political history, the history of ideas and mentalities, and legal history.

  • independently develop questions about the past
