Mittelalter- und Renaissance-Studien / Medieval and Renaissance Studies (MaRS) – (M.A.)

Since the Winter Semester of 2007/08, the Centre for Medieval Studies at Albert-Ludwig University, Freiburg, has offered the interdisciplinary Master's program "Medieval and Renaissance Studies".
The program is supported by more than 10 departments and institutes, spanning 5 university faculties.
It is designed for students from Germany and abroad whose previous academic work has included an emphasis on medieval studies.
Through specialization in a particular area, students of this program will deepen their knowledge of their chosen field. At the same time, through participation in relevant courses in neighbouring fields and interdisciplinary training in medieval studies methods, they will acquire a methodologically and theoretically broad scientific view of the Middle Ages and Renaissance.

The two-year program is designed for students from Germany and abroad whose undergraduate degree included an emphasis on medieval and/or Renaissance studies. Students can continue to pursue their previous academic specialization at one of the best universities and in one of the most beautiful regions of Germany, while at the same time becoming acquainted with and putting into practice methods and theories of related disciplines. In addition to this, they will benefit from the inclusion of a practice-oriented module in the program, which will further enhance their qualification for occupations both in and beyond university.
