Study plan - Studiengangsstruktur (PDF)

The MA programme Manuscript Cultures aims to convey within a one-year course (60 CP) central topics in the field of general manuscript research combined with specific skills. The course of studies promotes the independent, analytical handling of manuscripts, the cultural-scientific examination of the texts, images, notes and diagrams contained therein, the scientific material analysis of the manuscripts and the development of creative approaches for solving complex scientific and scholarly questions. The study program covers a broad spectrum of manuscript cultures, especially in Asia, Africa and Europe.
