Learning outcomes
|
Studying history will sharpen your insights into the functioning of past societies, helping you formulate a more critical awareness of the problems of the present. This course is designed to familiarize students with the history of German speaking countries, from the beginnings to the present. The main focus is on Germany and Austria, less on Switzerland and the German minorities in other countries. The aim is also to present the connection to current world events and Czech history.
Students will gain historical knowledge of facts of German speaking countries and will orientate in academic literature.
