Tuition

The Master’s program in Modern Global History does not charge any tuition fees. In turn, students are expected to cover their own living costs.

Successful applicants may also apply for student assistantships. Availability of student assistant posts varies over time and cannot be specified in advance. Student assistantships can only make up for a part of living expenses.

Funding and Scholarships

We strongly urge students to apply for funding on their own and in a timely way. Starting to look for funding a year before the program starts is not too early.

A Europe-wide portal for scholarships can be found at www.scholarshipportal.eu
