- Description/content
- The Master's programme entails basic modules and focus modules (i.e. specialisations).
Basic modules:
These modules are skill-oriented, and therefore, they provide students with the opportunity to further develop their translation, academic, media, digital, professional, cultural and practical skills due to a spectrum of different courses. Theoretical knowledge is combined with application and professional orientation.
Focus modules:
The contents of the Digital English Linguistics module consist of digital research methods, current topics in digital linguistics and methods for applied digital linguistics. In the English Literatures module, students deepen their knowledge in the field of English literatures, contexts and cultures across a broad range of anglophone (formerly colonised) countries and also address theories as well as media-oriented literatures. The Comparing Societies, Politics and Cultures in Anglophone Countries module is based on theories and methods in comparative social sciences. Participants study social, political and cultural similarities and differences across a wide range of anglophone countries.
