British and American Studies

Über diesen Studiengang

The focus of the Master’s degree programme British and American Studies is on intercultural knowledge and skills as well as on academic and research skills. The program is centered around the English language and its varieties, the diverse forms of literatures in English, different media such as films, newspapers, radio, or the internet, and English language cultures and their histories. Within this spectrum, the Master of Arts degree programme British and American Studies specializes in transculturation. Transculturation refers to processes of cultural exchange and intercultural phenomena past and present and analyses linguistic and cultural phenomena and practices in their contexts and with regard to their impact on the social. This focus allows students in this program to broaden their horizon and combine and connect linguistic, literary, and cultural studies to form a deeper understanding of these areas of research and life. In this Master’s degree programme students learn to do research independently and academically thoroughly and to grow further as writers of academic papers in literary and cultural studies as well as in linguistics and to understand the discipline inherent differences with linguistics as an empirical science and literary and cultural studies as a philology. In addition, students learn to connect these research fields and understand English studies as one bigger interconnected area of studies rather than smaller insular areas of expertise putting a focus on English and its contact zones. In the seminars of this degree program, students get insight into different areas of English literary and cultural studies and linguistics which they can apply and ground in a self-organized internship, in research projects they conduct themselves, in student conferences, and workshops they organize as a team.
