The prerequisites for admission to the study program are German and English at level C1. Courses in the study program are held in both German and English.
For the English Language Proficiency module, you need to take two English courses offered by Sprachenzentrum at level UNICERT II or higher. To do this, you must first participate in the placement test (https://www.spz.tu-darmstadt.de/spz_sprachpruefungen/spz_e_tests/index.de.jsp).

J.B.A. German Studies
LaG German

M.A. Applied Linguistics
The seminar 02-15-2020 Theories of Language Acquisition can be recognized in various modules depending on the focus and is therefore not automatically transferred to the new study regulations. Please contact the academic advising office (https://www.linglit.tu-darmstadt.de/studiumlinglit/studienberatung/index.de.jsp) for recognition in the new study regulations.
M.A. Linguistic and Literary Computing
Programming skills are not required for admission to the study program. However, you should be open to new technologies.
In addition to Python 3, Java is the primary programming language used in the study program, particularly in the computer science modules. The goal is not to train our students to become software developers, but rather to teach them algorithmic thinking and help them understand the technical requirements of computer science. This will enable them to engage in interdisciplinary exchanges with disciplines like computer science, from which many algorithms and technologies of digital philology originate.
