Empfohlene Voraussetzungen:

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

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 Literary Stud-ies 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 independ-ent writing of a master thesis

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

• independent research
