MA/MS in Anglophone Studies

The two-subject Master of Arts in Anglophone Studies at Campus Essen offers three variants, focusing on the United States, on Britain and the postcolonial world, and on English linguistics. Across all variants, linguistic, literary and cultural phenomena are examined within their socio-cultural and political contexts. The programme links linguistic and literary content with cultural studies, and the variant chosen at enrolment determines the emphasis of study. Courses are taught in English, and the programme can be combined with a second subject from the university's catalogue. Study abroad is recommended but not mandatory, and when the subject is combined with Dutch studies the third semester must be spent at Radboud University Nijmegen. The degree runs over four semesters full-time, with a part-time option, and the master's thesis is written in English.
