His research interests have included the fin de siècle period in Europe, the origins of World War I, and German-American relations. He received a M.A. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1961 and a PhD, under supervision of Francis L. Carsten, from the University of London in 1964. Prior to teaching in the United States, Berghahn worked in the United Kingdom and Germany. In 1988, he accepted a position at Brown University, and moved to Columbia ten years later.
Berghahn now holds the chair of Seth Low Professor of History at Columbia, and is also a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society.
