Requirements / organisational issues:
The modern Rhine-Main area looks onto a rich history characterized by a multitude of diverse cultures. Its location in the heart of Europe allows us to regard it as a true cultural hub.
This interdisciplinary and primarily archaeological course aims at introducing students of all disciplines to a selection of sites and finds throughout the above mentioned timeline - focusing only on significant historic events - and to the currently main applied methods.
It is open to all exchange students and all students of the JGU and consists of a seminar (2 hrs.) and an obligatory tutorial (2 hrs.). A field trip to some prominent sites in Mainz will be offered towards the end of the course, if possible.
The students will undertake 2 exams, whereby they have the choice between a German and an English version. They will also contribute a short presentation (15 mins.) that will be graded according to the German system (grades/Note 1-6). Both exams, which they will have to pass with at least 60% each and the presentation (at least grade/Note 4) are obligatory to receive their credit points (6 ECTS in total).
This course is only suited for advanced students (4 semesters or more) with a minimum B2 language level in German and/or English, or better. Knowledge of the Latin language is of advantage.
You can register for this course per e-mail (see below for details).
