About this programme

The Master's programme in "Atlantic Studies" offers students the opportunity to decide during their studies whether to study the social, cultural, political and economic relationships in the South Atlantic from a historical or interdisciplinary perspective of the humanities and social sciences. Against the backdrop of historical and contemporary globalisation processes and migrations, the programme focuses on interconnections between Africa, the Americas and Europe. A possible special focus lies on relations in the South Atlantic region due to the unique teaching combination of African History (one out of five professorships in Germany) and Latin American History present in Hanover as well as expertise on both continents in the literary/cultural and social sciences. In the specialisation in Historical Science, the programme offers the full range of time from antiquity to contemporary history of German, European, Eurasian and Atlantic history. Teaching staff comes from the History Department (African and Latin American History, Ancient, Medieval, Modern and Contemporary History), but also from the Institute of Sociology (Sociology and Cultural Anthropology), the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures (Spanish Studies, Literature and Linguistics), the English Department (English Studies and American Studies) and the Institute for the Study of Religions. Interdisciplinary studies are organised by the Centre for Atlantic and Global Studies (CEAGS).
