Linguistics

Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in (General) Linguistics can be credited if the course content of said degree program shows sufficient overlap with Leipzig University's Bachelor's Linguistics (especially with regard to the core areas of phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics). A degree in a bachelor's program that only has content from applied linguistics (e.g., foreign language mediation, communication research) is considered to be unrelated to the subject.

If you have a bachelor's degree that is unrelated to your field of study, you must demonstrate the extent to which you have acquired linguistics knowledge through independent study, summer schools, additional linguistics classes/modules, or other means that will enable you to successfully complete the master's program. You can partially acquire missing knowledge by attending bachelor modules, but in this case, you may sometimes encounter scheduling conflicts, since only the modules of one program are taught without overlap at a time; additionally, most bachelor courses are taught in German.
