English and American Studies

About

The program includes English literatures and cultural studies, linguistics, medieval literature and English language history. Varied seminars will improve the ability to contextualize and analyze texts, (visual) media and linguistic data. For this purpose, scientific-empirical methods and theories will be applied and discussed. Separate classes will systematically improve English language skills. Overall, the course of study ensures that important occupational skills, such as information literacy, abstract thinking and rhetorical skills will also be trained.

IELTS (academic) minimum 6.0, including at least 6.0 in section “writing”
TOEFL iBt with 75 points minimum
