Intercultural and transcultural issues are becoming increasingly significant for political, cultural and everyday life on a macro and a micro level. This is due to processes related to internationalization and globalization and the cultural changes and conflicts caused by them. For this reason inter- and transcultural issues have become a new focus of academic research. The Graduate Program Intercultural Humanities is a unique and innovative combined graduate program in History, History and Theory of Art, and Literature with a special emphasis on intercultural encounters, cross-cultural transfers, cultural comparison, and transcultural universals. The Graduate Program Intercultural Humanities provides students with insights into the theories and methods used to investigate and describe inter- and transcultural processes and phenomena. Students become acquainted with the particularities of research in History, History and Theory of Art, and Literature as well as with interdisciplinary approaches applied in intercultural studies in the humanities. By studying exemplary cases of intercultural encounters, cross-cultural transfers and transcultural universals students learn how these theories and methods are applied in each of the fields and, in a second step, across the fields. In particular, they acquire an understanding of the historical dimension of the relevant processes and phenomena and an awareness of the specific problems involved in interactions between Western and Non-Western cultures, cultural and aesthetic products and societies.
