*Can also be studied part-time (12 semesters)

 

The degree program

The degree program offers literary, cultural and media studies focusing on various linguistic and cultural regions. The study program is set up across different philologies and subjects: It combines German, English/American and Romance literary and cultural studies with aspects of media studies. Depending on the study model, you have the option of choosing up to three language specializations. You can choose between German, English, French and/or Spanish.
The choice of focus language has an impact on the subject-specific part of the degree program. Certain module elements permit deeper insights into the literary and cultural history and into current media developments of the respective linguistic region for the chosen focus language. Specialist knowledge and methodological skills are taught equally in the degree program. Additionally, students acquire or deepen their proficiency in the chosen focus language(s) in practical language exercises on grammar, text production, translation and conversation.
