Modern Philology

Admission to the master’s degree is possible following an evaluation of students’ academic background in philology, linguistics, history and literature, demonstration of a good level of competency in a foreign language as well as a minimum grade of 100/110 (or recognised equivalent) achieved at undergraduate level. Students who do not meet the aforementioned requirements are evaluated at interview which takes place once annually.

The master’s degree in Modern Philology investigates the fundamentals of the discipline such as philology, literature, language (also foreign language) and history. The course also includes laboratories and workshops focussing on “IT” as well as “methodologies.” These laboratories aim to give the modern “intellectual” humanist a wider range of transferable skills.
