Study Content:

?

Our Master’s programme in English and American Studies offers students the unique opportunity to combine different fields of Anglophone studies within a high-level single study programme. This interdisciplinary degree programme covers Anglophone World Literature(s) and Linguistics, 伟德国际_伟德国际1946$娱乐app游戏ia, Performance and Popular Culture Studies, as well as Teaching English with a strong focus on research as well as practical methodology. Students can choose between a major in Linguistics or Anglophone World Literature(s), as well as a minor area in either Anglophone Popular Culture Studies, Teaching English, Linguistics or Literary studies. Note that if you are already majoring in linguistics or literary studies, you cannot choose the same subject as a minor. This allows the creation of a specialised, personal profile.

?

During the standard duration of four semesters, Master’s students acquire in-depth technical skills and academic methodology within the field of Anglophone Studies. This provides them with high-level discourse proficiency in spoken and written English, intercultural competence, as well as expertise in the analysis and interpretation of socio-cultural phenomena by emphasising independent thinking, interdisciplinary research, and critical reflection. The curriculum includes a mandatory practical component to prepare students for various job opportunities or a career in academia. Additionally, we encourage students to spend a semester abroad to expand their academic and cultural horizons. The programme is completed with the writing of a Master’s thesis based on a research topic of the student’s choice. All lectures and seminars of the Master’s programme are held in English. Therefore, in addition to a bachelor’s degree in a subject related to English and American Studies, proof of a sound knowledge of English is a prerequisite for admission.

News - Practical Area

The practical area is a compulsory component of the MA EAS degree. Students are expected to earn a total of 10 credit points by completing one or several internships (duration: 6 weeks) in institutions or companies in an area touching on literature, language or culture, international exchange, or English-language teaching. Such work can likewise include internships at Chairs or departments at universities as long as this academic work is clearly related to identifiable work on specific academic projects.

?

Note that the use of English as a means of communication during your internship or work experience is a welcome but not a necessary requirement of the module; neither is the use of English alone a justification for the internship or work experience's suitability. You will need to find and organize these activities yourselves, and to obtain certificates of occupation and duration.

?

Please contact Dr. Christian Hoffmann in your second semester to discuss your internship plans and sign the mandatory practical area agreement. This way, you can ensure that your internship project(s) will be accepted.
