There is only one formal contingency agreement with another department at the FU Berlin, and that is with the Department of History and Cultural Studies (German abbreviation: GeschKult). There are five spots available for students from our Master’s program which are given out once a year; usually the deadline for applying for one of these spots within the contingency agreement is in late August or early September. More information can be found here (unfortunately not translated into English; if you require translation assistance, please contact fellow students or our student mentors at global-inequalities@geo.fu-berlin.de) or by contacting the Study and Examination Office (German: Studien und Prüfungsbüro).

 

After the application deadline, students who receive a contingency spot are reported to the GeschKult department by our examination office. Master’s students are provided with individual modules, and not module packages (this is only the case for Bachelor’s students), therefore, please let the examination office know your specific module requests for GeschKult when you apply. As soon as processing is complete, students can register for their module's courses as usual within Campus Management.

Please see also the following information on the website of the GeschKult department.
