English studies is dedicated to the investigation of the English language, literature and culture in their various present-day forms and in their historical development.
The Master’s degree programme in English Studies requires a specialisation either in Literary Studies or in Linguistics from the first semester onward. It is intended for applicants who have received academic instruction during their undergraduate education in their desired field of study. In both its areas, the programme emphasises scholarly approaches and expects students to be familiar with conducting research, various methodologies, and with the writing of academic papers. Although there is a clear specialisation, the MA in English Studies also encourages interdisciplinary methods and relies on new cultural and instructional techniques. An extensive and varied course programme, independent research modules, and a yearly Graduate Student Conference (organised by the students of the programme) provide students with the opportunity to develop a unique profile, equipping them both for post-graduate programmes and for various careers in the private sector.
Admission requirement is the proof of English language skills at C2 level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, proven e.g. by a corresponding certificate or a relevant Bachelor's degree. Please refer to the current admission regulations.
The course requires the choice of a minor subject; either in the complementary field to the specialization in English Studies (minor subject English literature with the major subject English linguistics, or, vice versa, minor subject English linguistics with the major English literature), or in a different subject. For further information please refer to the Examination Rules and Regulations.
