All important info for international students in Germany (2021/2022)
Cultural Studies is an interdisciplinary subject field and may focus on different aspects of a specific culture or cultures in general. Master’s programs in Cultural Studies often address questions of how humans construct their worlds in relation to modern phenomena, such as digitalization, transnationalization, and globalization.
Cultural Studies draw on theories of Media Studies, Social Sciences, Linguistics, Philosophy, and other fields as well as on diverse methodologies. At German universities, Master’s students of Cultural Studies are often given the opportunity to define their own specialization throughout their programs which often treat broad topics e.g. language, literature, arts, migration, or a certain region. Master programs in Cultural Studies are not only interdisciplinary with much freedom to choose a specialization, but also international, providing students with opportunities for stays abroad integrated into their curriculum.

Application Requirements
When you apply to a Master’s program in Germany, universities will usually expect you to have an academic degree in a related discipline. For the interdisciplinary field of Cultural Studies, this could be a degree from various fields, such as Linguistics, Literary Studies, Anthropology, Ethnology, Social Sciences, or Philosophy. Programs with a more narrowly defined focus may require you to hand in more specific first degrees, such as English and American or Romance Studies. Usually, application tests or interviews are not part of the admission process, students must simply submit required documents. In addition to standard certificates (e.g. first degree certificate, a transcript of records, a language certificate), a CV and a letter of motivation are typically required. For Cultural Studies, excellent language skills - sometimes in English, German and/or an additional language - are normally a prerequisite for admission and have to be demonstrated with a language certificate.
