Qualification Requirements


Previous Degree

Bachelor's degree in English studies/Englisch/Anglistik or in comparative literature (literary and cultural studies, literary history, literary theory, methodologies) is required, or an equivalent degree with a minimum of 60 credit points in English studies. In Germany - as in the United States and Great Britain - English studies are understood to focus on literary and cultural studies. If your previous BA program is specialized in linguistics, translation, or didactics, you do not meet the academic requirements.
