Europäische Gesellschaften und Kulturen (European Societies and Cultures)

Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) – 2 field degree program - Minor Field

Note

Subject to approval by the Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts, this degree programme is due to be discontinued from the 2026/2027 winter semester. It is therefore unlikely that new enrolments will be accepted.

Are you interested in European cultures and their historic development? Would you like to know more about the interconnection of culture and language? Would you like to understand the intellectual currents that have formed European identities and the values on which they are based?

The European Societies and Cultures minor goes into these and other questions. Anchored in a European context, you will be provided with skills in cultural and social science disciplines and linguistics. In addition, there is the possibility of taking relevant modules at the Université de Strasbourg and so giving your studies a special, international orientation.
