Master's Programme German Studies in Cultural Comparison

About

The consecutive Master's programme German Studies in Cultural Comparison is built on the corresponding BA programme and offersÂ in-depth courses within the subject discipline of comparative German studies. Students choose to specialise either in linguistics or literature. The linguistics courses include, among others, theoretical modules on language structure and language comparison, language acquisition, bilingualism and language contact. In the literature courses, the theoretical modules are concerned with comparative and intercultural literature studies and a cultural comparison of the history of literature. In addition to these courses, students choose between different module profiles: the language and cognition profile, the didactics of German as a Foreign Language profile or the intercultural communication profile. Depending on which profile is chosen, the Master's programme prepares students for careers at universities, in teaching German as a Foreign Language or as cultural mediators in cultural centres or international businesses.
