Processing and contextualisation of research literature and sources according to subject-specific standards; skills in writing a historical treatise (bachelor thesis) on a topic from the historical epochs and disciplines; presentation of the newly acquired knowledge

History is not only anchored in the public sphere in anniversary years, but constantly enriches it with new impulses. Whether it's the historical circular walk, the mobile phone app with historical content, films and plays, village books or mini-exhibitions in company foyers, we count all of these as part of the field of public history. The demand for such products is constantly growing and opens up a colourful and exciting field of activity for graduates of historical subjects.
