Studying at the Marsilius Kolleg

The goal of the Marsilius Study Program is to create an opportunity for interdisciplinary research during a degree program.

Course offerings are divided into

• 'bridge' seminars (usually interdisciplinary seminars) that are led by at least two lecturers from different scholarly cultures,
• discipline-specific courses for non-majors
• and a multidisciplinary colloquium for the interdisciplinary presentation and discussion of students' final papers.

Benefits of the Study Program

Rounding out a degree program with interdisciplinary study has several benefits:

• Many students find broadening their academic horizons a personally enriching experience. Interdisciplinarity is fun!
• The dialogue with different scholarly cultures fosters individual communication and critical skills.
• Interdisciplinary approaches are becoming increasingly important in academia as well as in business.
• Experiencing different perspectives can benefit one's own studies.

The Commission for the Marsilius Study Program has authority over matters such as the selection of courses.
