Course structure
The postgraduate degree course in British Studies is an interdisciplinary teaching programme. It consists of a two semesters' Certificate Phase followed by a six months' Master Phase. Having successfully completed the Certificate Phase, students receive a "British Studies" certificate. After successful completion of the entire course, students are awarded the degree "Master in British Studies" (M.B.S.).
The Certificate Phase comprises about 30 weeks of teaching, divided into two phases of about equal length. The first phase ('Core Programme') consists of a series of lectures and seminars which are compulsory for all students. In the second phase ('Options Programme') students can choose one out of two options (see below). Students have to attend an average of at least 20 hours of classes per week. These may include suitable classes taught in other departments.
During the Master Phase students will spend about three months with a firm or institution in Britain (Internships). In the remaining three months they are expected to write their M.B.S. thesis.
