Disclaimer: The applicable legal regulations can be found in the framework ordinance (Rahmenverordnung) and the program regulation (Studienordnung) for the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. The information below is for illustrative purposes only and should be regarded as a recommendation. In case of any contradictions between this document and the legal regulations or between the German version and a translation, only the legal regulations or the German version, respectively, have legal bearing.

The modules in the following two categories should be taken early on, ideally in the first but no later than the second semester of one's Master studies in English Literature and/or Linguistics.

Important Note:

• Students can repeat this module only once.
• If one fails this modules twice, one can continue one's studies by moving to the "Literature only" track.

Note: Students can repeat this module only once. If one fails one of this module twice, one can no longer complete the program.

While students may take some of the modules below in their first semester, we strongly recommend that the modules listed above, under "Modules Intended for the Beginning of One's Studies," be prioritized.

Free choice from the following:

* = titles and module codes change each semester

Note: If one completes more than 27 ECTS in this category, then the extra points will 'spill over' into the elective category. (Example: If one does two "Research Seminars in Literature" and one "Projects in English Linguistics" seminar, one receives 33 ECTS points. This means that one would have 6 extra ECTS that would 'spill over' into the elective category, i.e. one would have to do fewer points there.) 

free choice from the following Module Groups:

• English Linguistics
• Research-Oriented Specialization: English Linguistics
• Language Skills and Culture
• Other Curricular Modules
• Transferable Skills

You can find more information on the Master Thesis in the corresponding module description.

Note: Students may also take additional modules, beyond the required modules outlined above (i.e. the information above outlines the minimum requirements).
