The Master's programme Atlantic Studies in History, Culture and Society is a research-oriented, inter-disciplinary degree course, organised by the members of the Centre for Atlantic and Global Studies.
The programme examines the effects of global processes at local and regional levels, the ties between Africa, the Americas (particularly Latin America and the Caribbean) and Europe, and the global entanglements of Atlantic space, especially within the Global South. The study programme also covers the particularities in the general development of the various world regions.
Students of this research-oriented Master's programme should have a considerable interest in interdisciplinary issues relating to the Atlantic regions. Courses are offered by professors and lecturers from the Departments of English, History, Cultural Anthropology, Religious Studies, Romance Languages and Literatures, and Sociology.
