Bachelor of Arts in History

The History programme delivers historians with a research-oriented attitude and a broad view on the world. Infinitely more than mere memory work or the enumeration of historical facts, the study of history requires a critical attitude vis-à-vis historical sources and academic insight into the why and wherefore, and the coherence of historical events.
