News - Practical Area
The practical area is a compulsory component of the MA EAS degree. Students are expected to earn a total of 10 credit points by completing one or several internships (duration: 6 weeks) in institutions or companies in an area touching on literature, language or culture, international exchange, or English-language teaching. Such work can likewise include internships at Chairs or departments at universities as long as this academic work is clearly related to identifiable work on specific academic projects.
?
Note that the use of English as a means of communication during your internship or work experience is a welcome but not a necessary requirement of the module; neither is the use of English alone a justification for the internship or work experience's suitability. You will need to find and organize these activities yourselves, and to obtain certificates of occupation and duration.
?
Please contact Dr. Christian Hoffmann in your second semester to discuss your internship plans and sign the mandatory practical area agreement. This way, you can ensure that your internship project(s) will be accepted.
