The “German Studies with a Binational Option” master’s program, offered by Hessen International University in collaboration with the Hungarian University of Szeged, provides a unique perspective on the German language, literature, and culture. This program stands out as it engages students in German studies research within an international framework. It emphasizes exploring cultural matters, analyzing language and literature in a European context, and harmonizing domestic and international German studies.
Through this program, students are presented with an exceptional opportunity to immerse themselves in a foreign academic environment, which enriches their outlook. The interaction with Hungarian peers and professors during seminars stimulates discussions that may not typically arise within German institutions. The Master’s in German Studies with a binational option grants students a distinct chance to transcend their national boundaries, cultivating extensive interdisciplinary and intercultural competencies.
Throughout the curriculum, linguistic and literary topics, along with research traditions, are juxtaposed and thoughtfully examined through collaborative dialogues. In Szeged, there is a specific focus on Austrian literature and culture. The master’s program spans four semesters and culminates in a dual degree, awarding a certificate from each of the two universities.
