Six professorships represent the individual historical ages, the history of knowledge, the auxiliary sciences of history, and the history of Northern and Eastern Europe throughout the ages. Furthermore, the Department is home to the fields of ancient history and the didactics of history, as well as Ancient Greek and Latin studies.

Since April 2021, the Department has been participating in the International Research Training Group 2560 ‘Baltic Peripeties’, a joint research programme involving three universities in the Baltic Sea region – Greifswald, Tartu and Trondheim. The researchers at the Department of History work in an interdisciplinary manner with various departments in the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, theology and medicine in the research network "Fragmented Transformations. Perceptions, Constructions, Constitutions of a Region in Transition (IFZO)'. The Greifswald Epigraphical Research Team was affiliated to the University of Greifswald in 2002 by the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities in cooperation with the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
