Previous Degree

Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) that forms a reasonable basis for the master's program. The bachelor's "English Studies" from the University of Bonn is suitable for the master's program if linguistic modules have been attended. Other BAs are welcome if students passed modules that are of immediate relevance to the topics of Applied Linguistics and which account for at least 36 LP ("_Leistungspunkte_"; Credit Points), including 18 LP in practical English language courses. The requirements for practical language courses can be lowered if participants can attest to a comparable involvement with the English language by other means (e.g. English language competence certificates: or additional linguistics courses in relevant topic areas).

Note that in this context, "Applied Linguistics" refers to scientific research and not actual applications such as translating or language teaching. Graduates of BA programs explicitly focused on these areas are not technically excluded, but the corresponding applicants have to demonstrate that a sufficient background in linguistics in this sense has been acquired.

You may also apply if you have already acquired another master's degree and the required linguistic background (BA level). However, you cannot apply if you already have an MA in Applied Linguistics.

GPA Comment

No minimum GPA.

Note: after you have been accepted to the program, you will need to show a certificate attesting German language competence (DSH-1 or TestDaF TDN3) before registering as a student of the university.
