Dear future students,

welcome to our website (and more importantly welcome to our department!). On this page, you can find and access the materials for our departmental introduction ("Fachvorstellung"). As you hopefully know already, this introduction will consist of two parts this semester: An online asynchronous part (where we provide you with a video with basic information about studying English and some organisational matters) and a live Q&A during which the lecturers of the department will briefly introduce themselves and you get the chance to ask all your questions. This live Q&A will take place on October 10th, 2024, 4:15 - 6pm in lecture theatre G in A07.

All materials for our departmental introduction (slides and video introduction) can be found here. Please note that the slides and the video will be uploaded mid/ end September.

All the best, have a good start and hopefully see all of you at the live Q&A in October!

Thank you for your interest in the programmes of the English and American Studies Department!

The vast majority of the department's classes are held in English. In order to study Anglistik/ Amerikanistik in Oldenburg, you need to provide evidence of having C1 command of English. The following site provides information about our specific language requirements: https://uol.de/studiengang/anglistik-2f-bachelor-4.

Unfortunately, we cannot assist applicants with information on times, places or fees for any of the tests. Please check the relevant online sources for the test that is most convenient for you.

The test results need to be sent to the Immatrikulationsamt before classes start, i.e. you can hand them in later than your application but you need the certificate before your enrollment is complete and you can start your studies. Please check with the Immatrikulationsamt for the exact deadlines - they can change slightly from year to year.

(Do give yourself plenty of time to complete a test, as the timeslots can fill quite quickly and in a worst-case scenario you may need to take a test more than once!)

Note that you must meet the language requirements in their entirety, as we do not round up.

For specific questions relating to the entry requirements, especially for native speakers of English, please contact the Fachstudienberatung.

If you need further advice or have questions about studying English not answered elsewhere on this website, please contact the Student Advisory Service or send an email.
