Interdisciplinary Elective (6EC)

Would you like to know how everything around you has become the way it is today? How the histories of the cosmos, life, earth and human societies have influenced each other and jointly shaped important aspects of the world? And would you like to use that knowledge to develop a better understanding of the challenges our societies are currently facing? If the answer is yes, then Big History is the course for you! A variety of renowned experts, ranging from astrophysicists to social scientists, will take you on a journey from the Big Bang until today. Throughout the course, you are stimulated to reflect on the often-unexplored connections between the various astrophysical, geological, biological and cultural aspects that formed our world. In a final research assignment, you are encouraged to apply this knowledge to an important societal challenge and think about this in a creative and interdisciplinary way. While doing so, you will also reflect on what big history might mean for your future.
