Intercultural European Studies University of Regensburg

The Master of Arts in Intercultural European Studies is a two-year Master's programme. Its main objectives are to provide in-depth knowledge in a chosen cultural area (France, Spain and/or Italy) and to facilitate cultural comparisons between Germany and the chosen cultural area(s). The programme is offered in cooperation with Université Clermont Auvergne, Universidad Complutense de Madrid and Università degli Studi di Ferrara, and it includes a study abroad year in one or two of these cities. A main feature of the programme is its interdisciplinary orientation. In addition to the focus on European history and culture, the curriculum includes subjects ranging from cultural studies, media, history, society, politics and economics to law, literature and philology, depending on the chosen programme option. Other features include small study groups, a partly optional internship and the acquisition of a double or triple degree.

Students are required to complete 120 credit points (ECTS) to receive a degree.

All students of the binational programme spend the first year of study in Regensburg and the second year in Clermont-Ferrand, Madrid or Ferrara:

• Regensburg: 60 ECTS
• Clermont-Ferrand, Madrid or Ferrara: 30 ECTS
• Master's thesis: 30 ECTS

Students of the trinational programme spend the first semester in Clermont-Ferrand, the second semester in Regensburg and the second year in Madrid.

• Clermont-Ferrand: 30 ECTS

Students of the national programme spend both years in Regensburg. During the first year, they follow the same study programme as students from the binational programme. In the second year, they need to do an internship and complete two more scientific modules. The credits are distributed as follows:

• first year in Regensburg: 60 ECTS
