Annotation

The course of studied consists of

an undergraduate degree programme in German Linguistics, Modern German Literature and German Medieval Studies (= German literature and language from the beginnings to the early modern period). This part of the program meets national and international standards in German Studies and enables students to continue their studies on a Master's degree programme.
an "interdisciplinary foundation" component, in which students can choose between a historiography or a philosophy module, and a lecture cycle on current key topics in society, which is jointly organised by several departments in the Faculty of Human Sciences
study of a profile focus to deepen and professionally expand German Studies qualifications. From the second semester onwards, students choose one of the following five profiles:

A) Media (with study components from Media Education, Philosophy and Computer Science),
B) Cultural industry (with study components in Economics),
C) German-English studies (with English and Comparative studies),
D) Language and Computer Science (with course components in Computer Science) and
D) German as a Foreign Language / German as a Second Language.
The interdisciplinary orientation of the course of study beyond the boundaries of the arts and humanities takes into account the fact that in the typical professional fields of graduates of German studies increasingly require knowledge and skills from other subjects.
