How do you study German philology as a minor?

How do you study German philology as a minor?

If you study German Philology as a minor in the BA program, you need to complete three basic modules (= 19 credit points) in Medieval German Literature, Modern German Literature, and German Linguistics. Subsequently, you will study more specialized and extended modules in your chosen areas until you will have collected a total of 30 credit points.

Please note that according to exam regulations, modules must be finished completely. Therefore, if you finish a course within a module, attendance in the remaining courses is mandatory — even if this exceeds the requirement of 30 credit points in German Philology. Additional credit points automatically contribute to the 20 additional points in the BA program.

For an overview of the modules and the grading, please refer to the exam regulations.
