German and Comparative Literature

About

In the bi-national degree program German and Comparative Literature, students study two subjects at two excellent universities, benefiting from an ideal setting to acquire competences in literature and cultural studies. The degree program covers content and methods of German Studies as well as comparative literature and cultural studies, with a main focus on literature and its transnational, intercultural and cross-media interconnections. Hence, this program goes beyond the more narrow scope of pure literary analysis and individual philologies. The dual content focus of this master's degree program is also reflected in its bi-national composition, which includes academic stays both at the University of Bonn and the partner university in St. Andrews. Students are thus given the unique opportunity to build on their theoretical knowledge with practical first-hand experience in two academic cultures and countries. Graduates of the program earn a German-Scottish double Master of Arts/ Master of Letters degree offering manifold professional prospects in Germany and abroad. Possible lines of work: Education (adult education, language courses, educational institutes, etc.), book industry (publishing/libraries/translating/editing), culture (cultural institutions, embassies, exhibitions, etc.), media (press, radio, television, on-line media, journalism, public relations), administration (international relations, e.g. diplomatic service, international organizations), academia (research management, teaching/research at universities, research institutions, etc.)
