The Programme is a collaboration between history of science, philosophy of science and technology and social science research into science and technology. The course offer enables students to acquire expertise and methodological competences of all three areas, as well as to gain a multiperspective understanding of the common research subjects. Innovative research combinations and original specialisations are brought forth by an individual focus, deepening of the matter and the opportunity to attend studies of other disciplines.

In the Master's program in History, you can take a variety of courses in the History of Science. If you earn more than 30 ECTS credits, a specialization in history of science will be recognized.

Traditionally, our students are social scientists, natural scientists, archaeologists or economists, as well as prospective teachers who want to teach the tools of modern technology, or people with a professional background who are interested in the history of certain disciplines. Students of global studies, science and technology studies, and cultural and social anthropology also attend our seminars.
