What will you learn:

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.
