MA Cultural Landscapes at University of Würzburg

Master of Arts in regional and state history that compares the formation, expansion and development of cultural landscapes in Europe and the USA. It is run with cooperation partners (University of Toruń, Poland, and Flagler College, St. Augustine, Florida) but can be completed entirely in Würzburg; teaching languages are German and English.

What you will study

The 120 ECTS are split into a compulsory area (90 ECTS) and a final area with Master's thesis and colloquium (30 ECTS). Content is a transnational comparison of regional and state history with a practical-methodical approach; a semester at a university outside Germany, for example in the USA, is strongly recommended.
