The B.A. in Indology/South Asian Studies at the University of Tübingen provides comprehensive knowledge of the diverse cultures, religions, societies, and philosophies of South Asia. Students immerse themselves in the history and present of this fascinating world region, learning to critically analyze its complexities and dynamics. A special focus on working with original sources enables them to gain authentic insights and develop a nuanced understanding of contemporary political, social, and economic developments. The program equips graduates to reflect on and contribute to South Asia’s growing global significance.
