The focus of the study programme is a reflective approach to the German language and literature as well as Germanic research in an international environment. In the course of study, linguistic and literary content and research traditions should be contrasted and reflected in mutual dialogue. Various aspects of cultural studies, the consideration of language and literature in a European context, and the intermeshing of domestic German studies with foreign German studies are at the centre of the study programme.
Students in this programme will study at the home university (Kassel or Szeged) during the first two semesters and at the respective partner university during the third semester. The fourth semester, which is reserved for writing the Master's thesis, can be completed in Kassel or Szeged. The programme is designed for four semesters, and it concludes with a joint degree (one certificate from both universities).
A detailed overview of the programme structure can be found in the module manual which is available here: Module manual
