Qualification Requirements
Please be aware of the fact that this is a consecutive Master, which means that a BA in English or American Literature and Culture (their histories, theories, methodologies) is required, or an equivalent degree with a minimum of 60 credit points in English or American Studies. In Germany – as in the United States and Great Britain – American Studies are understood to focus on Literary and Cultural Studies.
