The course of study - What exactly do you study?
The focus of the program is on the reflective use of German language and literature as well as German studies research in an international environment. In the course of study, linguistic and literary contents and research traditions are to be juxtaposed and reflected upon in mutual dialogue. The focus of the study program is on dealing with aspects of cultural studies, the consideration of language and literature in a European context, and the interlocking of domestic German studies with German studies abroad.
The curriculum provides for students to study at their 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 either in Kassel or Szeged. The program is designed for four semesters and concludes with a double degree (one certificate from each of the two universities).

... I experienced a different way of studying. The time at the University of Kassel was full of new possibilities, so I got to know various areas of German Studies from a different perspective." Kitti Kovács, 4th semester (University of Szeged)
