This comprehensive 3-year joint-honours-programme in English and American Studies can be combined with a wide variety of second subjects, including modern languages, media studies, political science, history and economics.

The programme covers all relevant areas of English and American Studies. It also allows students to specialize in one of five key areas: American Studies, British Studies, Cultural Studies, Linguistics or Literary Studies. It is also possible to work towards a General Studies degree.

 

Information

The Study Guide BA English and American Studies (pdf, German) provides comprehensive information about the degree structure of the BA degree program, lists and explains all modules and gives practical information about exams.

The current Module Specifications for our BA English and American Studies can now be found in Campo. We will keep a copy on this page as well, for reference, but be advised that the information contained may no longer be current (last revised 20 August 2022; pdfs, German).  If you are looking for module numbers in Campo, this is also the list to turn to. There are two different specifications:

  • Modulbeschreibungen FPO 2014 – for most students who started their studies in or before the winter term 2019/20 [FPO 2007 Satzungsänderungen bis einschließlich 17. Februar 2014]
  • Modulbeschreibungen FPO 2020 – for most students who started their studies in the winter term 2020/21 or afterwards [FPO 2007 Satzungsänderung Januar 2020 – ab 1. Oktober 2020].

There is a lot to learn in your first semester. Click here for an A to Z of the most important words, abbreviations and technical terms which you will encounter during your time at FAU, plus some useful links.

Finally, students majoring in English and American Studies will have to acquire study skills (‘Schlüsselqualifikationen’).
