Englisch (English)

Polyvalent dual major bachelor's degree programme - Major field (teacher education track)

The polyvalent dual major bachelor’s programme in English focuses on linguistics, as well as literary and cultural studies of the English-speaking world. The programme combines the acquisition of English language skills on a high level with an intercultural and interdisciplinary study of language, cultural phenomena, literatures, and media. This opens up various perspectives on historical, political, and cultural developments in English-speaking countries from their beginnings to the present day. Students in the polyvalent dual major bachelor’s in English develop critical thinking, form and present their own viewpoints, and gain insight into English-speaking cultures. If students choose the secondary-school teaching degree option, they qualify for the Master of Education (M.Ed.). The M.Ed. opens the way to teaching at the Gymnasium (secondary school).

Academic content

The Department of English of the University of Freiburg conducts research and instruction in the area of English studies, including the English language and its varieties as well as the literature and culture of the English-speaking world. The course of study is divided into two areas: linguistics and literary studies. Linguistics deals with the English language and its history. In addition to present-day British, American English, and earlier stages of development, other varieties of English are also considered. The area of literary studies concentrates primarily on the history of English and American literature. However, the literatures of other English-speaking countries are occasionally also considered, as this is in the interest of the students in a globalized world.

Statutes

Disclaimer
The versions of statutes with relevance to teaching and learning provided on this page by the Department of Legal Affairs (in particular admission and selection regulations as well as subject and examination regulations) are primarily for information purposes. This means that all amendments subsequently agreed upon by the University Senate have been integrated into the respective text of the original statutes; in the case of the examination regulations for bachelor's and master's degree programmes, this generally relates to extracts of the respective examination regulations (framework examination regulations, subject-specific provisions, and appendices).
The greatest care has been taken in writing these versions. Nevertheless, it cannot be entirely ruled out that errors may have occurred. Consequently, it is solely the officially announced statutes and statute amendments that are legally binding, i.e. as published in the Amtlichen Bekanntmachungen der Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg im Breisgau [de] or, up to the year 2000, in the official gazette of the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts.
