Overview

In terms of content, the English Studies program at University of Bonn has a geographic focus on the UK, North America and the postcolonial world. Due to its interdisciplinary orientation, the in-depth study of language, literature and culture always includes questions from the areas of history, philosophy, politics, and media studies as well. In addition to knowledge-based courses, the program offers language practice modules to enhance students’ grammar, vocabulary and style.

In year two, students can choose electives and thus prioritize individual focus areas. Students can choose a profile in either English linguistics and communications, North American studies, or British and postcolonial literary and cultural studies.
