The Masters in English Studies is a four-semester programme delivered in the English language. Courses are offered in Linguistics (synchronic and diachronic), Literary and Cultural Studies and in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL). In addition, the opportunity is given to further improve students’ usage of the English language. Within the framework of the Masters programme it is possible to choose modules in such a way that you cover all disciplines in English Studies, specialising only in the fourth semester through the choice of your thesis topic. On the other hand, the study plan/curriculum also allows students the option of choosing all their modules from either Linguistics (synchronic and/or diachronic) or Literary Studies, thus specialising in one of these disciplines from the very beginning. It is also possible to opt for classes in the field of Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL). However, a full focus on TELF only is not possible - a combination with modules from one or both of the other disciplines (English Literary and Cultural Studies and/or in English Linguistics) is essentially required.

Enrolment for the Masters in English Studies is dependent on successful completion of a selection procedure. Only after successful completion of the selection procedure is it possible for candidates to take the next step and enrol for the Masters programme in English Studies. The basic prerequisite for admission to the selection procedure is a first degree in English Studies with a final grade of 2.5 (good) or above (or the equivalent thereof). The master's study programme presupposes academic knowledge and methodological skills on the level of a finished BA in English Literary and Cultural Studies and/or in English Linguistics; for the selection of modules in Teaching English as a Foreign Language, comparable previous knowledge of this subject area is required; however, the MA programme requires all students to take at least some classes in English Literary and Cultural Studies and/or in English Linguistics, so that a background in English Language Teaching only may not be sufficient.
One of the important factors when considering a master's degree is the cost of study. Luckily, there are many options available to help students fund their master's programme. Download your copy of the Scholarship Guide to find out which scholarships from around the world could be available to you, and how to apply for them.
You can add a master's degree to your first undergraduate degree (e.g. bachelor's degree or State Examination) if you want to expand or specialize your knowledge. An increasing number are now in English — from American History to Physics. A master's degree program at LMU usually takes two years and is made up of 120 ECTS points.
In addition to an undergraduate degree, further qualification requirements may be necessary, which are detailed in the examination regulations for each master's degree. There are consecutive master's degree programs that build on knowledge from undergraduate studies in the same subject. In other master's degree programs, the requirements can be met with different academic degrees, because they require certain fundamentals that are not restricted to a single subject area. Weiterbildende Master (career-integrated master's degree programs) also require relevant professional experience. Students in these programs are usually required to pay additional tuition fees.
