The study programme comprises:
- an undergraduate degree in German Linguistics, Modern German Literature and German Medieval Studies (= German literature and language from the beginnings to the early modern period). This part of the programme meets the national and international standards in the subject German Studies and allows for the further study of a Master's programme.
- a study component "interdisciplinary foundation", in which either a history or a philosophy module is taken, as well as a lecture series on current key topics of society, which is jointly supported by several subjects of the Faculty of Human Sciences.
- the study of a profile specialisation for subject-specific consolidation and professionally relevant expansion of German studies qualifications. For this purpose, students choose one of the following five profiles from the second semester onwards:
- A) Media (with study components from the subjects of media education, philosophy and computer science),
- B) Cultural Studies (with business studies components),
- C) German-English Studies (with English and comparative studies components),
- D) Language and Computer Science (with study components in Computer Science) and
- E) German as a Foreign Language / German as a Second Language.
The interdisciplinary orientation of the programme across the boundaries of the humanities takes into account the fact that knowledge and competences from other subjects are also increasingly in demand in the typical occupational fields of graduates of German studies.
