Why study in Regensburg?
The university offers a wide range of subjects and impresses with its good student supervision by the lecturers and its excellent infrastructure. Initially planned as a regional university in the middle of the 20th century, it has developed into a renowned, internationally oriented centre for research and teaching in the new millennium.
Regensburg, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, combines historical charm with a dynamic, youthful spirit. Popular among students from Germany and abroad, the city offers a diverse range of cultural and recreational opportunities. Founded in 1962, the University of Regensburg is a modern campus university located on the southern edge of this historically rich city.
Regensburg therefore offers an ideal framework and starting point for the Master’s programme. As a place where history and culture are actively used on a daily basis as an identity, tourism and location factor, the city represents an object of study and research par excellence. At the same time, the city and region are home to numerous historical and cultural institutions such as the newly established Museum of Bavarian History or the Flossenbürg Concentration Camp Memorial. As part of the degree programme, these and other institutions are available as cooperation partners for internships, project seminars and research work and can also be the starting point for a comparative look at other regions, countries and states. The participation of different chairs ensures that the subject matter is always approached from multiple perspectives. In this way, cultural and historical research is also linked with questions about the practical and analytical possibilities of digital humanities and media informatics. Last but not least, as great importance is attached to the manageability of the seminar groups, students are guaranteed intensive support on their way to a Master’s degree.
