The Master program in History teaches students how to conduct research and write academic papers and in this manner enables students to pursue careers in a variety of professions. The Master program in History at the Institute of History at the University of Bern is designed to expand students' knowledge of methodology and empirical research and results, whereby the major and mono courses of study focus on the ability to independently produce scholarly work. Students can either focus on one (minor) or two subjects (major and mono) that they choose themselves. The institute's goal is to expand students' knowledge of the historical dimension of human existence in the context of the interdependence between politics, society, the economy, the environment and culture. Further aims are to get students to critically question handed-down concepts and memories, to highlight long-neglected interconnections and to counteract opinions that are commonly held to be true. These aspects, as well as an individual focus on specific topics and methods of historical research, will enable students to complete tasks that generally cannot be conceptualized or conducted in such form in other disciplines both within and outside the humanities and social sciences.
