For the Bachelor's degree, you need English language skills at level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. You can find this and more information here: Application.

To enrol in the MA, you also need the Latinum or Graecum for some specializations (Historical-Comparative Linguistics, Ancient Languages and Cultures). Further information can be found here: Application.

No, the MA Linguistics is made up of the English-language courses of the MA Linguistics and is therefore only for international students. For native speakers of German, we offer the MA Linguistics, which offers German course content as well as English.

No, only one of the variants of AM6 can be credited as an advanced module, as the degree program should not only consist of language courses.

No, recognition is only possible in a block (e.g. Danish A and B). Individual language courses can be recognized in CM1.

Written or oral module examinations are taken after attending the required courses of the module (e.g. language courses such as in AM6). If the module examination consists of a term paper, this does not necessarily have to be written once you have attended all the seminars in a module. As each assignment is linked to a seminar, it is also possible, for example, to write the module examination after the first seminar for the module and then attend the other seminars.

No. Of course you can attend the CCLS Lecture several times, but you can only receive CP once.

You can move your credits between all modules to which the given class is assigned. You have to see the credit in Klips first, i.e. you can only do this at the end of the semester, not in the middle. See https://klips2-support.uni-koeln.de/en/students-new-design/transferring-achievements for instructions.

Since we offer few ‘real’ project seminars, the General Linguistics seminars in KLIPS 2.0 are often also linked as project seminars.

Our overview (only in German) shows all possible module combinations for the Master's degree.

No. This is only possible in the current semester, provided that it makes sense.

Seminars can be moved to KLIPS 2.0 (see instructions), but not as soon as a term paper has been credited in the respective seminar (without further ado).

No, because pure language courses are usually not linguistic enough.

This depends entirely on you and your course of study, there is no set number. Within the standard period of study, it is recommended that you submit 2-3 assignments per semester.

This is probably due to the time of registration: places are not allocated directly outside the enrollment phases or in the middle of them. Whether a place has been allocated will be announced here immediately after the end of the respective enrolment phase.

There are currently no plans to offer a specialization in Computational Linguistics for the English major. Due to university regulations, it is not possible to choose specializations from the German-language degree program if you are not enrolled in that program.

No, that is not possible.

There is the option of choosing a different major and then taking the English-language computational linguistics courses that are offered (there are a few). These can also be credited for some other majors/modules, the only difference would be that “on paper” it would not say Computational Linguistics as a major.

In this module, you can attend courses from neighboring subjects as well as faculty or university-wide interdisciplinary courses (e.g. lecture series), in particular
the CCLS Lecture.

In general:
Please clarify briefly with your subject advisor (depending on
profile selection - see the list above) BEFORE registering for a seminar whether the chosen course is actually suitable. Since
is not possible to register via KLIPS 2.0 due to its great flexibility, please contact
the respective lecturer by e-mail to clarify whether you are allowed to attend the seminar. To book the services, please ask the respective lecturers to register you in Klips via "Free registration" in the
course (http://ccls.phil-fak.uni-koeln.de/sites/linguistik/Studium/Materialien/Klips-Anlei-
tung_Freie_AnmeldungEM1Master.pdf). At the end of your studies, the collected credits
will be transferred to Klips by the coordinator. To do this, please send the following information to ma-
ling-contact@uni-koeln.de: (i) the list of courses that add up to 12 CP, (ii) where these
courses can be seen in your Klips tree, and (iii) with whom the courses
were agreed.

Yes, if there are no comparable courses in the MA.

Yes, internships that serve as career orientation (e.g. PR, broadcasting, publishing, Lufthansa, etc.) are recognized.

In general, the CM2 aims to give students a taste of the academic world and teach them how to present their own work. For example, the following contributions are recognized: Poster presentation Presentation together with a supervisor Presentation of the Bachelor thesis Presentation or workshop at StuTS, if it is not too basic

Yes, if you have already attended seminars for a module but do not wish to complete the module, these seminars can also be recognized in CM1.

A total of 12 ECTS must be earned for CM1. Lectures earn 2 ECTS, seminars 3 ECTS. Seminars with 4 semester hours per week earn 6 ECTS (e.g. language courses that take place twice a week). The courses can be chosen from the entire range of courses offered by the university, which can be found via Klips 2.0 > My studies > Extracurricular courses or via a keyword search. Courses from the linguistics department can also be credited in CM1. If you would like to have a course credited, this must always be clarified with your academic advisor.

As this module is very open and flexible, it cannot be easily edited in Klips. Therefore, the procedure is as follows: Before registering for courses, please contact your academic advisor by e-mail (i.kapitonov[at]uni-koeln[dot]de), indicating the courses you wish to take. After you have received approval, contact the respective teachers of the courses and ask them whether you can take part in their course. You must add them in Klips via “Free registration”. In the last semester of your studies, the courses will be added to CM 1 by your academic advisor.

No. Internships etc. must be clarified in advance with the specialist advisor.

There is no ready-made list of places, but a selection can be found here: Contact points for internships

The guidelines for writing a Master's thesis can be found under Documents on studying and academic work.

As a rule, neither the bibliography nor the appendix are counted towards the length of the Master's thesis. However, if in doubt, clarify this again with your supervisor.
