Учебный план программы обучения "English and American Literary and Cultural Studies"

The MA programme consists of a total of eight thematic and practical modules and a final examination module. You can decide yourself how you would like to distribute modules over different semesters, but certain recommendations will help you to make the most of your studies: Try to complete the three courses of the language module (1) over three semesters to ensure the continuous development of your practical language skills.

The three thematic modules – English Literature, including Anglophone literatures from the Commonwealth (2), American Literature (3) and Cultural Studies (4) – can be completed in any order and combination. With regard to literary studies, you can decide whether to focus more closely on English or on American literature. Generally, you are free to choose topics according to your own interests, while the cultural studies module contains one obligatory seminar with a historical orientation. Module 5 allows you to gain valuable teaching experience through a tutorial for one of the department’s BA courses, and in the ‘Studium Generale’ module (6), you take at least two courses of your own choice from across the university’s study programmes.

Modules (7) and (8) introduce an international perspective and are recommended for the third semester. The internship abroad module (7) consists of six weeks of work experience in an English-language environment of your choice, and the study abroad module (8) takes you to a university in an English-speaking country for one semester. Choose from our various exchange programmes or organise your own stay. At the host university, you will complete three seminars in literary and cultural studies, and you can also start preparing for your MA thesis.
The final semester is then devoted to the MA thesis, for which you select a topic according to your own interests. Moreover, you have the chance to demonstrate your in-depth knowledge of further areas from your studies in an oral examination and an invigilated essay.
