10/20/2025History was made in the city of Charlemagne ? and this not only applies to the politics of the Carolingian dynasty, but also to the flint trade in the early period and the complex negotiations in the aftermath of the Napoleonic wars. Whether Celtic finds, medieval relics, or the Charlemagne Prize ? all the different ages come to life in the European city of Aachen. It is particularly exciting to study history at such a momentous place. This degree thoroughly trains and educates prospective historians who have academic ambitions. The courses offered cover a whole range of historical eras: Antiquity, the Middle Ages, early modern, modern, and contemporary history are all delved into equally. In this respect, the degree at RWTH differs from courses of study elsewhere that focus more on certain ages rather than others. Methodically, the course of study?s concept focuses on the development and interpretation of historical records in various materials, media, formal and linguistic manifestations. In addition to classical historical methods, the degree also offers students interdisciplinary perspectives that are characteristic of all RWTH programs: it integrates subject-specific approaches to the past that also use the diversity of methods used in related disciplines, such as the humanities and social sciences. For this reason, the course of study includes special historical disciplines such as medical and architectural history, economic and social history. The course of study?s concept particularly focuses on references to original documents, consequently students will consistently study sources throughout their degree. Every contemporary record ? whether in the form of texts, images, or artifacts ? is decoded with the appropriate scientific methodology. Beginning with linguistically decoding the records, the variety of methods ranges all the way to highly specialized research methods. Once we have established a broad historical understanding of all ages, students can specialize in specific ages or conduct comparative studies of individual periods:
