English

On the master programme, you will gain high level language skills in English and a sound knowledge of cultural and historic matters in the English speaking world.

You can immerse yourself in some of the subjects you studied at bachelor level, just as you can specialise in the professional path you would like to follow after completing your degree.

This could include teaching, translating, or working for a private company or the state.

Teaching varies between lectures and classroom instruction. In addition, there is often project work together with other students. Students are encouraged to participate in class discussions.

To be admitted to an MA programme, you must have a bachelor degree in a relevant subject.

In addition, documentation may be required verifying your proficiency in English is at a specified level.
