If you love literature, this is the ideal course for you. You will get to read a large number of exciting novels, short stories, plays, poems, essays and letters besides looking at films and seeing performances of great drama on stage or on DVD. Freiburg’s MA in English Literatures and Literary Theory is the standard MA course that takes you from a BA in British and/or American Literature to a PhD in English or American or postcolonial literature. It offers a wide range of exposure to British and/or American texts of all genres and particularly concentrates on early British literature (pre-1800) in order to ensure a complete coverage of the full range of literature in the English language.


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.
