Study structure

This page contains automatically translated content.

General

A degree programme consists of modules that are defined in the examination regulations and described in more detail in the module handbook. In terms of content and time, it makes sense to study these modules in a certain order. There is a sample study plan for each degree program, which shows you an ideal course of study. If you study in this way, you can complete your studies within the standard period of study. This is not always possible, so there may be individual deviations from the suggested course. When planning, you should bear in mind that not every module is offered in the winter and summer semesters and that some modules build on each other or have other participation requirements. The Student Advisory Service will help you to plan your studies individually.

The "Intercultural Communication and Business" degree program consists of the following areas:

Students deepen their foreign language skills and develop their ability to understand and write complex texts.

Module 1a: French
Module 1b and 1c: Spanish

Module 2: Space and culture
This module is dedicated to the political, economic, social and cultural structures, trends and developments in French- and Spanish-speaking countries. These are reflected upon, analyzed and critically discussed and different culture-specific perspectives on historical and current events are interpreted.

Module 3 Language and culture
Students attend a seminar on literature and cultural studies as well as a seminar on linguistics.

Five compulsory elective modules are selected from various specializations:

Module P4: Practical project
Design and implementation of a practical day. Students examine their own professional aptitude and develop their moderation and mediation skills, among other things.

Students supplement their academic knowledge in this module by expanding their skills in seminars and exercises, e.g. in scientific research or applied knowledge transfer. The university offers a variety of seminars in the area of key skills and methods.

As part of a Master's thesis, students apply the knowledge they have gained during their studies by independently working on a topic in philology or cultural studies or an application-related economic issue.
