The four period courses in the first year of the bachelor programme have a dual function in the curriculum. On the one hand, lectures and a handbook are used to acquire basic knowledge about the history of early Antiquity to the present. In Modern History II, students become acquainted with the most important concepts, developments, people, and events related to the modern period, from the First World War to 9/11: from consumer society to anti-Occidentalism. On the other hand, basic skills of the historian are discussed and practiced in tutorials and assignments.
