Tigla Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 It depends on what field you want to work on. What are you looking to study exactly? Below will be my general list of universities that have English programs. However, you need to remember that most of these programs still require some knowledge in the native language in order to succeed. European Union - University of Leipzig, University of Flensburg, University of Copenhagen, University of Maastricht Global History - Free University of Berlin and Humboldt University of Berlin (this is my program) General History (no specialization) - University of Leiden and University of Amsterdam New Programs - Heidelburg University, University of Vienna (heavily German based), a university in Paris (I cannot remember the name at the moment), etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khigh Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I wanted to add two more programs. The American University in Rome and Groningen. However, I cannot remember exactly the Dutch requirements for Groningen right now. Their program is new, but they are doing some great work in captive narratives and early modern exploration.

Bana81 Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 Thank you very much for all these leads ! My area of focus is South Asian History...I know that SOAS in the UK would be the best bet for that, Cambridge and Oxford as well. Just wondering if there are any other European Universities as well.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bana81 Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 This is quite a list ! Do these offer History programs in English ? Will look them up my self as well.. but just wondering if you know from experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khigh Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Some of the unis in the Netherlands do India. The Dutch held part of the area for a few hundred years. They had Bangladesh, Burma, Ceylon, and some regions of India. You would, however, likely need reading Dutch for the VOC archives (16th and 17th century Dutch, not modern).

Tigla Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 @Bana81 The universities I, as well as khigh, listed above offer a plethora of degrees in English. In terms of history degrees, you will need to get a bit creative because history, as a field, remains a bit nation based which causes most programs to be in the native language of the country. With a little luck and research, however, you will find plenty of programs ranging from area studies to straight history classes that are either taught in English or partially-taught. Unfortunately, most programs will advertise themselves as English only, but in reality, you will need at least B2 language skills in the respective country to truly succeed in the program.
