The Past as part of your own Future
In each semester, this course in the humanities also provides the students with guidance about their future careers. In this way, by looking into the history and the present of literature and culture, students can also look forward: the study programme creates diverse opportunities on how to get to know the expectations of the job market and to acquire specific skills while studying. Representatives of various professional fields offer insights into future work areas. Subject-related practical projects supported by partners from outside the university provide an opportunity to gain experience which will be useful for later professional life. The acquisition of specialist knowledge and skills helps to shape career paths during the course of studies.
Discovering, Deepening and Developing Skills
What the course participants bring with them provides them with the basis for the new knowledge they will acquire. Theoretical training in the history of culture and literature is gradually expanded; the understanding of medieval, modern and contemporary literature is deepened and at the same time expanded within an intercultural framework. In addition to the core content of the programme, there are opportunities to attend language courses, actively develop academic writing skills and much more.
