Interdisciplinary Studies of the Middle East

The program has a genuine area studies profile: A unique breadth of subjects related to the Middle East comes together under the roof of the Department of History and Cultural Studies. As a student in this program, you gain access to an extensive academic and professional network, connect with fellow students from related master's programs, and network with internationally acclaimed scholars from the six participating disciplines. Furthermore, the program cultivates cooperation across departments and universities in Berlin and beyond, with the Leibniz-Zentrum Moderner Orient (ZMO) or the Selma Stern Center for Jewish Studies Berlin-Brandenburg (ZJS), to name just two.
