Career prospects

The professional spectrum for graduates of the degree program, which not only teaches interdisciplinary but also practical work, is enormously diverse and is constantly expanding. The skills acquired during the course qualify students for work with a conceptual profile in the following professional fields: Cultural and media work, public relations, archives, libraries, museums, memorial sites, publishing, history marketing, adult education, science and research, journalism and other communicative services, areas of responsibility in the environment of European and international organizations.

By strengthening the practice-oriented parts of the course in module strand B, the requirements for professional fields in the area of history culture and history communication are considerably improved. The integrated compulsory internship is also particularly important in this context, as it not only motivates students to focus on the areas of practice that appeal to them, but also forms the basis for being able to complete an internship at some attractive institutions.

The courses offered sharpen global history skills and impart specialist knowledge about digital work in historical studies as well as knowledge about historical digitization processes.

The courses in the module area "Public Spheres" are directly practice- and career-related, and the integrated compulsory internship also allows students to acquire practical skills in a field of their choice. In addition, courses can be taken as part of the FB05 professional program.
