Degree Programs in Comprehensive Human Sciences

Choose your prospective research fields from the list below and write the names in the “Prospective research fields(supervisors)” section on the application form. You can choose up to two research fields. As a general rule, you will beassigned to a research group during the process of selecting students for admission, so please choose carefully. It is hard todetermine the exact details of your prospective group’s research solely from the research themes listed below. To avoid

writing your master's thesis on a different research topic from the one you had in mind, be sure to contact the supervisor in thefield of your choice. Also, if you have any questions, please consult with the following person about your choice.
