Qualification Requirements
Previous Degree
Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in a field that has an affinity to North American studies. That means prospective students need to provide evidence of at least 40 Credit Points in fields like English or American literature, translation studies, American history, economics with an American emphasis, American politics, gender studies, postcolonial studies, philosophy, or film studies, among others.
Language Requirements
The following certificates are recognised as proof of your language proficience.
CEFR English
min C1
Does the university recognize "other equivalent language certificates"? yes
Additional information:
To meet this language requirement, the university will not accept B.A. certificates in “English Studies” (or related fields) or certificates administered by lecturers of other universities. Students may, however, pass the DAAD written test at the University of Cologne (free of charge). Native speakers of English are exempt from this requirement. Upon the registration of their Master thesis—i.e., towards the end of their studies, NOT with their application to the program—students will have to provide a certificate of their proficiency of another modern European language at B1-level (CEF).
