The Faculty of History & Philosophy understands itself as a community of subjects with a high potential for interdisciplinary discourse. It brings together experts from various fields of the humanities, including history, archaeology, languages and literatures, art history, musicology, anthropology, philosophy and many more. We also maintain close partnerships with leading institutes and universities around the world in order to continuously broaden the horizons of our research. By joining forces with each other and with other researchers in collaborative research projects, we can utilise synergies, share resources and work together on major challenges.
