Learning Outcome: Das Wahlpaket Austrian Studies bündelt Fächer von vier Fakultäten der Leopold-Franzens-Universität (der Philosophisch-historischen Fakultät, Philologisch-kulturwissenschaftlichen Fakultät, der Rechtswissenschaftlichen Fakultät sowie der Fakultät für Geo- und Atmosphärenwissenschaften). Sie alle setzen sich in wesentlichen Teilgebieten ihrer Forschung wie auch in der Lehre mit dem Raum der ehemaligen Habsburgermonarchie und seiner Nachfolgestaaten auseinander und bedienen sich in der Erforschung dieses ihnen gemeinsamen ,Raums` und den damit verbundenen Fragestellungen unterschiedlicher zeitlicher wie theoretisch-methodischer Zugriffe. Unter Austrian wird ein von unterschiedlichen Gesellschaften produzierter Kulturraum entlang der Zeitachse vom Heiligen Römischen Reich über die Habsburgermonarchie, die Erste Republik und den Zweiten Weltkrieg bis zur Zweiten Republik mit der nachfolgenden Blockbildung, den Folgen von 1989 und der EU-Mitgliedschaft 1995 bis in die unmittelbare Gegenwart Österreichs im europäischen und globalen Kontext verstanden.
Die Absolventinnen und Absolventen des Wahlpakets Austrian Studies verfügen über fortgeschrittene Kenntnisse der Geschichte und Kultur Zentral- und Südostmitteleuropas. Sie erkennen die Bedeutung politischer und sozialer Strukturen für die gesellschaftlichen, rechtlichen und ökonomischen Prozesse sowie für die kulturellen Entwicklungen (Architektur, Bildkunst, Literatur, Musik etc.) in diesem Raum in seiner historischen Tiefe und in seiner Verflechtung, und sie sind befähigt, gegenwärtige Prozesse zu deuten und einzuordnen. Sie sind daher in der Lage, das erworbene Wissen und die daraus abgeleiteten Erkenntnisse auf die Lösung einschlägiger Problemstellungen auf ihren individuellen Wissenschafts- und späteren beruflichen Tätigkeitsbereich anzuwenden. Die Studierenden verfügen durch das Wahlpaket über eine thematisch wie räumlich fokussierte Ergänzung zu ihrem jeweiligen Hauptstudium, die auf zentralen Aspekten vorwiegend anderer Disziplinen dieses Feldes beruht. Darüber hinaus sind sie in der Lage, auch überfachliche Fragestellungen zu entwickeln, diese entsprechend zu bearbeiten und deren Ergebnisse zu präsentieren. In der gemeinsamen Erarbeitung und Diskussion der Fragestellungen haben sie auch soziale Kompetenzen erworben und sind fähig, im Team zu arbeiten.

This variety is reflected in the minor.
