The Department of English and American Studies offers a three-year programme of study, the B.A. Anglistik, after which students graduate with the degree Bachelor of Arts (B.A.). The programme will introduce you to a number of topics, methods and theories that are central to scholarly debates and scientific discussions in the field of Anglophone Studies.
