Overview

Through opportunities for interdisciplinary research and numerous project assignments, they receive comprehensive preparation for a wide variety of fields of work. Students can create their personal profile by choosing a major area of study between linguistics and literary studies, as well as that of a minor area from Anglophone Cultural Studies, Didactics of English and - depending on the choice of major area - linguistics or literary studies.

Programme Structure

The Master English and American Studies (MA EAS) consists of a Major and a Minor:

Major (60 ECTS)

Literary Studies
Linguistics

Minor (20 ECTS)

Media, Performance, Popular Culture
Teaching English
Linguistics (with Major Literary Studies)
Literary Studies (with Major Linguistics)

Furthermore, the study program also includes a practical area (10 ECTS) and the Master’s thesis (30 ECTS).

The normal period to finish the MA EAS is four semesters.

The structure of the MA EAS is modular. This means that you do not have exams at the end of each semester; instead, exams and tests take place during the semester, mostly in form of presentations and written term papers to finish a module. Each module provides you with credit points (ECTS), wherein the amount of ECTS directly relates to the work load. You have to attain 120 credit points in total, meaning roughly about 30 ECTS per semester (to finish in the normal period of time).
