Inhalt: Freedom and the Transformation of Modern Europe (FTME) examines the concept of freedom in relation to a series of different social, cultural, scientific, political, and economic elements in Europe in the last 400 years. The aim of the module is to provide a starting point for key themes and questions which may come to guide your own studies in the Studium Individuale programme. In each session is a pairing of ‘Freedom and…’ giving us a way to examine a wide range of changes in different areas of society and for different people.

Inhalt: The skills required to pursue a degree in the Studium Individuale are, of course, likely to vary considerably according to the individual path taken. But there are shared approaches underlying these differences which are fundamental to the particular challenges of this program: 1) Asking good questions. 2) Knowing how to approach answering them. 3) Having a sound general academic literacy and the ability to interpret diverse subjects. 4) The ability to develop independence and deal resiliently and productively with difficulty, uncertainty and unfamiliarity. This course asks you to be active, engaged, reflective, self-reliant. And it provides you with the tools and support with which to pursue an ambitious project across the semester. The vital skills we want to begin to develop are “knowing how to know” and fostering a continually reflective outlook within the pursuit of self-directed learning. We also want to instil the basis of skills which can then be honed and developed through practical application and ongoing experiment, within this course and ultimately beyond it. If we assume that – as your degrees unfold – your questions are likely to imply complicated and connected methodological approaches, then what you need to develop is a roadmap for navigating diverse approaches and their intersections.
