Culture and Economy: History

Especially the unique combination of History with Economics convinced me to start my studies in Mannheim. With a degree from the University of Mannheim, you have endless possibilities – particularly because the Business School has won multiple awards and has a great reputation.

The University of Mannheim also has a lot to offer outside of your studies. For example, you can try out the wide-ranging sports program or attend different language courses, including Japanese, Spanish or sign language, and you can also take part in various events and join one of the student organizations or the departmental student committee .

If you would like to continue your academic education, you have the option of pursuing a doctorate after your master's degree.

History graduates can work in museums, archives, in administrative positions, at media companies or in science journalism. An academic career is also open to alumni with a master's degree.

With the minor in Business Administration or Economics, you have even more options. Since you gain a lot of basic knowledge through your studies, you may start a job in any economic sector. Whether in management, marketing, accounting, etc. – the choice is yours.

The most commonly asked question is probably: “And what do you want to do with this degree?” Just remember: You have chosen to study History with a minor in Economics or Business Administration for good reasons, and the options are diverse. If you do not yet know exactly what you want to do later, internships, jobs as a research assistant, or the cultural practice modules may be a good orientation.
