Previous Degree
Bachelor's degree in English or American Literature and Culture (their histories, theories, methodologies) is required, or an equivalent degree with a minimum of 60 credit points in English or American Studies. In Germany - as in the United States and Great Britain - American Studies are understood to focus on Literary and Cultural Studies. If your program is specialized in Linguistics, Translation, Didactics and the like, you do not meet the requirements.

The English language knowledge can also be proven by the completion of a course of a study named in the admission requirements, for which, in turn, English skills at level B2 of the CEFR were required, or completed at least two years of study in an English-speaking country. Native English speakers and applicants whose BA degree is from an English-speaking country are exempt.
The required German language level can be achieved, for example, using a Goethe certificate or comparable evidence. Applicants whose language of origin is German are exempt from the requirement for proof.
