Courses for exchange students

When choosing your courses, you should ensure that they will be approved by your home university for a credit transfer. You should also select some alternative courses, as schedule clashes may occur and we may not be able to guarantee a place on all courses.

Courses offered every term

English I (30 credits)

English II (30 credits)

Follow the links above for detailed information about these courses. Please note that English I and English II can only be taken as a whole. It is not possible to take individual modules.

Optional modules at the English III level

The below optional modules in English literature and linguistics are planned for the autumn term 2026. However, these are subject to change depending on the number of students. Therefore, make sure you provide alternatives when you send in your course selection form, as all modules may not be given.

These modules require background knowledge of the subject (English linguistics / literature). English III modules are suitable for students with at least two terms of studies in English literature / linguistics. When sending in the course selection form, students wanting to take these modules should also send in transcripts showing the English courses taken at their home university.

Advanced level

If places allow and if you are studying at the Master's level at your home university, you can apply for our courses at advanced level. Transcripts need to be submitted with the course selection form in order to establish eligibility.

For information on which Master's courses we are currently offering, see Courses and programmes.
