Overview

Over the course of the first three semesters, students complete four seminars, four lectures and two research-oriented independent studies projects, supervised by professors. Within these curricular restraints, students can still individually plan their learning content and focus on their needs and interests. Students are required to complete their Master's thesis and prepare for the final oral examination in the fourth semester.

Other requirements

General requirements

As a so-called “consecutive degree program” the MA program in English Studies (taught entirely in English) requires a first degree in English Studies (linguistics and/or literature), and, on application, the selection of a mandatory focus either on Literary Studies or on English Linguistics. (The two strands have no curricular overlap in the English Studies program; in this respect they are like two different majors.) The course also requires you to choose a minor; either in the complementary field in English Studies (literature or, vice versa, linguistics), or in a different subject.
