Academic content
Do you spend way too much time interacting with other readers on bookstagram and booktok, trying to keep up with all the latest published books? Is a visit to a new city never complete without finding all its indie bookshops? We have got you covered! The Master of Arts in English Literatures and Literary Theory (MELLIT) at the University of Freiburg is the definitive programme for you.
Over the course of four terms, you will have the opportunity to take a variety of classes in literary studies, ranging from the Early Middle Ages to the literatures of the present day, across all genres. While courses on canonical authors like Shakespeare are regularly offered, our course catalogue challenges the limits imposed by Western heteropatriarchal bias: not only will classes focused on women writers be on offer, but also seminars and lectures on BIPOC, queer, and trans narratives. The MELLIT programme also places strong emphasis on literary theory: by the end of your studies, you will be expected to apply a wide array of theories to analyse and interpret literary texts.

Satzung über ergänzende Regelungen zum Zulassungs- und Prüfungsrecht
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.
