With its courses on the History of the Natural Sciences (B.A., M.Sc.), the Friedrich Schiller University Jena is one of the few places in Germany where the History of Science is taught as an independent discipline. We offer the History of Science both as a stand-alone Master’s programme as well as in the Bachelor’s programme.

Book cover Thomas S. Kuhn "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions".
