Empfohlene Voraussetzungen:

Students should have completed the Core Module Culture before beginning this module. (übernommen aus dem Prüfungsordnungsmodul Master Module II: Culture)

Inhalt:

The Master Module II consists of two parts:

• First, an Advanced Seminar provides opportunities for independent research on a core topic in British Cultural Studies.

• The second part of the module promotes self-reliant, independent work, allowing students to choose between two different forms of study. Depending on what best benefits their work in the Advanced Seminar and their work towards their MA-thesis, they can decide whether to invest their time of self-directed study into work on a core topic, or to participate in the research-programmes of the Faculty Research Centres (such as the Interdisziplinäres Zentrum Literatur und Kultur der Gegenwart or the Interdisziplinäres Zentrum Gender – Differenz – Diversität). If they choose the second option, they can spread their participation over the course of the third and fourth semester.
  

Lernziele und Kompetenzen:

The Master Module II continues the work on core topics in British Cultural Studies with an emphasis on independent application and research. It will allow students to carry out independent research and self-reliant work. Students are furthermore encouraged to take up interdisciplinary perspectives to supplement their studies.
In this module students will especially improve their skills in the following areas:

• knowledge and independent application of critical terminology and methods of cultural theory with a view to preparing for the independent writing of a master thesis

• writing skills (especially structure and expression) in a major academic genre, the academic essay/research paper

• independent research

Students should have completed the Core Module Culture before beginning this module.
