Bachelor’s Programs and State Examination
Early Modern and Modern History
Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) – 2 field degree program - Major Field
Historic developments since the Early Modern era have shaped our daily lives together more than any other period in history. On this degree program you will study the development of history since the start of the formation of the modern nation state, the origins of our democracies and the emergence of the great ideologies of human history: Colonialism, Imperialism, Capitalism and Communism. The history of great men has long since been superseded academically, and the history of events will only play an incidental part on your degree program. Instead, you will engage with social and environmental history, with constructivist theories and the influence of soft factors, such as emotions, literature and art on history. The influence of the climate can also be an important factor in historic development. The guideline for your study of the past will be decoding the narrative of the past itself: Why are events told to posterity? And why in this way?

The goal of the major field program in Early Modern and Modern History is to provide an overview of the historical periods from classical antiquity to the Middle Ages and profound knowledge of the modern period (starting in 1500), the ability to take a critical stance on the past and its interpretations and portrayals, insight into how history has shaped the development and conditions of contemporary society, an in-depth understanding for the otherness of past and foreign living environments through the study of the diachronic development of various cultures, and the ability to engage in networked thinking. The course of study should also enable students to develop research questions on their own, conduct independent research, reflect critically on different research positions on concrete topics through independent interpretation of critical sources, and present and communicate findings in an understandable and convincing way.

The versions of statutes with relevance to teaching and learning provided on this page by the Department of Legal Affairs (in particular admission and selection regulations as well as subject and examination regulations) are primarily for information purposes. This means that all amendments subsequently agreed upon by the University Senate have been integrated into the respective text of the original statutes; in the case of the examination regulations for bachelor's and master's degree programmes, this generally relates to extracts of the respective examination regulations (framework examination regulations, subject-specific provisions, and appendices).
The greatest care has been taken in writing these versions. Nevertheless, it cannot be entirely ruled out that errors may have occurred. Consequently, it is solely the officially announced statutes and statute amendments that are legally binding, i.e. as published in the Amtlichen Bekanntmachungen der Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg im Breisgau [de] or, up to the year 2000, in the official gazette of the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts.
