Study English Studies in Germany: 40 Universities with 78 English Degree Programs
All important info for international students in Germany (2023/2024)
For anyone familiar with the German language and life in Germany, it does not come as a surprise that English-speaking cultures, especially the USA and British, have had a profound impact on German culture: This is visible in the everyday use of English words that have long become part of the German language, the American pop-cultural media perceived, and the importance which transatlantic relations have for Germany and Europe. The high number of master’s programs in English Studies offered at German universities reflects this right relationship, particularly by focusing on the UK and anglophone communities around the globe as well as English linguistics. This subject field often integrates postcolonial perspectives and analyzes social categories such as race, gender, and class.

Application Requirements
When you apply to a master’s program in Germany, universities usually expect you to have an academic degree in a related discipline. For the subject of English Studies, this could be the first degree in English or North American Language and Literature, Comparative Studies, or other comparable Language or Literary Studies. Usually, application tests or interviews are not part of the admission process; students must submit the required documents. In addition to standard certificates (e.g., a first-degree certificate, a transcript of records, a language certificate), a CV and a letter of motivation are typically required. For English, excellent English-language skills - usually on a C1 level - are a prerequisite for admission and must be demonstrated with a language certificate.
