Master Langues, littératures et civilisations étrangères et régionales - Parcours Études interculturelles franco-allemandes

p style="margin: 0cm;"The DPI Master « És Interculturelles Franco-Allemandes » (EIFA) AMU – Tübingen offers an in-depth insight into cultural transfers between France and Germany in a European and international context. The content of this integrated curriculum is based on history, while taking into account current developments in both societies, and leads to a double degree (Research Master at AMU, Master of Arts at Tübingen).

The distinctive feature of this Master's degree is its international and multidisciplinary dimension, focusing on cultural sciences. The courses offered are organised around literature, theatre, the media (press, cinema) and linguistic issues, but also – always from a transnational angle – the basics of philosophy, history, art and political science. In addition, students have the opportunity to take courses in empirical cultural science in Tübingen.

p style="margin: 0cm;"The course is aimed at holders of a Bachelor's degree in the Humanities and Social Sciences (Germanic Studies, Modern Literature, History, Philosophy, etc.) who wish to work in the intercultural field.

Candidates with a bachelor's degree are authorised to register for a master's degree. Holders of another diploma: https://allsh.univ-amu.fr/fr/formation/scolarite
