The intercultural and interdisciplinary expertise thereby acquired is intended to enable you to integrate the current intellectual, political and societal discourse in the Arabian world within global contexts and to represent it to a western public.
Major topics
The Arabische Literatur und Kultur / Arabic Literature and Culture master's program aims, first of all, to expand methodological and practical linguistic skills and, second of all, to specialize in the subject, in connection with the advancement of active language expertise in written and spoken German and the reliable mastery of various presentations and formats.

The advanced language training enables translator or editor jobs and qualifies you for mediator services in the field of cultural/knowledge transfer, in the broadest sense. Particularly in the Middle East, the linguistic and intercultural expertise of such successful graduates, who can act as cultural mediators in the Arabic world due to their well-founded knowledge of current and historical discourse, is in demand in order to help overcome pervasive gaps in understanding and knowledge.
