Overview
We offer a master degree in Global History at Freie Universität Berlin. Instead of simply conveying a macro-perspective on global change, students are encouraged to acquire in-depth knowledge about the cultural and social history of a single region, which they will learn to situate – through comparisons, and through a focus on interactions and exchange – in the context of global structures and transformations.
Key Features
- The interconnectedness of today’s world is not a new phenomenon, but one that is tied to a long history of exchange and interaction.
- The history of migration and trade, of empires and nation-states, of religion and the environment, and of ideas, of communication and war have all contributed to linking different parts of the world, albeit unevenly.
Programme Structure
- The Master of Arts in Global History is dedicated to exploring the various trajectories of cross-border entanglements around the globe.
- Unlike programs that treat global history as an extension of imperial or economic history, our approach emphasizes the entanglements between specific regions and global structures.
- By focusing on comparisons, connections, and processes of global integration, the program helps students to understand the forces that have continuously shaped and restructured the world.
