The knowledge and skills acquired in the MA should enable graduates to engage in lifelong learning at a high level of complexity and thus put them in a position to constantly adapt to new areas of activity in the face of changing demands on the job market. The MA program in English and American Studies prepares students for an academic career in the subject areas, theories and methods of English and American Studies with their specific interdisciplinary interfaces and thus also creates a qualification basis for other academic-related professional fields.
