The Department of Historical Studies offers interdisciplinary programs of considerable breadth, on both the Master’s and the Doctoral level, challenging canons by means of thorough empirical research and cutting-edge methodological and theoretical reflection. The Department seeks to train future scholars, academic and public leaders and professionals with a broad horizon. Its teaching and research focus is on the history of Central, Southeastern and Eastern Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean, from the third century to the present, going beyond these geographical and temporal boundaries with a comparative and interdisciplinary perspective.
