Studies Abroad

For History students, it is possible to study both within Europe and further afield. You can find all the essential information on studying abroad on the International Office’s website (in German).

Due to the short overall duration of the master’s programme and the time it takes to organise a semester abroad, you should start addressing the topic of studying abroad as early as possible since the application deadlines for a period abroad in your third semester of study may already end a few weeks after you start your studies if you begin in the winter semester.

If you take part in the Erasmus programme and want to have credits obtained abroad recognised by us, please arrange an appointment with the subject advisors. Together, we will review the suitability of the courses that you wish to have recognised and draft a recognition agreement. Please have the necessary information available.

Periods of study and assessment components that have been completed in similar or other programmes at universities abroad are recognised in accordance with Section 7 of the General Examination Regulations (Allgemeine Prüfungsordnung; APO) for bachelor’s and master’s degree programmes within the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Bamberg.

If you have any questions on credit recognition, you can also contact Dr. Katharina E. Scheffner.
