Binational Master's in History (German-French) — Bielefeld-Paris Geschichte (BiPaG) MA

The international Master's programme in History aims to extend the knowledge and skills in history of graduate students mainly from Germany and France or French-speaking countries, with special emphasis on theoretical and methodological approaches of academic research in history in Germany and France, covering all central epochs of European and global history. One central feature is the explicit intercultural dimension: German- and French-speaking participants complete the programme side by side, working in pairs to assist each other with language and practical matters. The programme is built upon the binational Bachelor's programme in History but is open to applicants with a BA in history from other universities.
