Minor subject Digital Philology

The history minor is suitable for all those interested in history and the history of technology. Mathematicians can use their trained logical approach and problem-solving skills to contribute to new research questions. In addition, history offers mathematicians the opportunity to look beyond the (scientific) horizon and gain an insight into the humanities.

This minor subject is a special minor subject. Please be sure to read the relevant information in the general information.

General information

Your degree programme, field of study, examination regulations version and (from PO 2018) minor subject version are relevant for the choice of minor subject. Please be sure to read the general information. There you will also find the number of credit points (CP) to be earned. Modules not listed here are possible with approval.

Please note: Not everything you can choose in TUCaN can also be included in the degree programme.

Due to a change in the study regulations of the minor subject, for example, certain module combinations may not be possible (because they overlap too much). In case of doubt, please ask for approval of a voluntary examination plan or ask our study coordinator.

If you are planning to write your Master's thesis in another subject area, we recommend that you clarify the options in advance with the lecturer(s) you are considering as supervisor(s) and discuss the study plan in the non-mathematical areas. Please also note:
When registering a Master's thesis, a second reviewer from Department 04 must agree to the topic and thus confirm that the topic is sufficiently mathematically orientated. This is not always the case.

If you have any questions, please contact the examination board.
