Master of Arts in North American Studies (NAS)

Moreover, applicants must have excellent English skills on C1 level of the CEFR and skills in a modern language on B1 level of the CEFR. C1 level in English must be proven upon immatriculation. B1 level in another modern European language must be proven by the time the master thesis is started, i.e. it can be reached while completing the North American Studies program. German does not count as the second modern European language if the student's native language is German.

The checking of the students’ fulfilment of the language requirements is the responsibility of the examination office [Prüfungsamt] of the Faculty of Humanities [Philosophische Fakultät]. The English Seminar I does not provide legally binding information on what language certificates are accepted by the examination office.
