Do you want to become a critical citizen on a national and international level? Do you like to follow the news and want to take active part in major debates covered in the media? Then Comparative European History is the right choice for you. Comparative European History is an interdisciplinary Bachelor's programme that teaches European history from a comparative and issue-driven perspective. The programme focuses on a series of fundamental socio-economic, demographic, political and cultural topics that are of great relevance for societies today. Examples of such topics are migration, identity, frontiers, inclusion and/or persecution of minorities, religious fundamentalism, cultural appropriation and societal responses to major crises such as disease control. The consistently comparative approach of this programme offers a valuable opportunity to study historical processes, both within Europe and beyond, that reveal not only unique historical developments, but also general patterns of human behaviour and problem resolution.
