The teaching units constituting the modules are listed in the module catalog or the model curriculum on the program’s website. They include lectures, seminars, and supervised student workgroups as well as one mandatory internship and/or a study abroad period of at least four weeks.

1. It is a prerequisite for access to the Master’s program in Advanced Anglophone Studies that the candidate has an academic degree in a relevant subject or an equivalent academic degree from another foreign university in a relevant subject from a German university or from a university adhering to the Bologna Process. The equivalence of other foreign degrees will be determined through evaluation by the Central Office for Foreign Education Systems from the minister of Cultural Affairs (http://anabin.kmk.org).
2. An academic degree from a German University or university adhering to the Bologna Process can be either a Bachelor’s degree, Master’s degree, Diploma (“Diplom”), Magister, or state-examination degree.
3. Subjects that qualify as relevant for the previous study program are English, Anglistics, American Studies, Cultural Studies, or other Humanities subjects. The decision as to whether the subject is relevant is to be decided by the party declared as responsible in the examination regulations (Prüfungsordnung). A favorable definition may be contingent on the condition that missing modules be completed within the first two semesters of study.
4. Additionally, proof of English language competence is required (see below).

If the degree has not been completed at the time of application, notwithstanding paragraph one, proof needs to be given that 83.33% of the total necessary credit points have been earned (at least 150 credits). If the applicant cannot demonstrate the required 150 LP by 15 July (winter semester) or by 15 January (summer semester) of the appropriate year, the responsible authority, as indicated by the examination regulations, will decide in individual cases on a conditional admission subject to the demonstration of completion of the required credit points by 15 September (admission for the winter semester) or 15 March (admission for the summer semester) of the respective year.
