The focus of this minor (in English) is on the interaction of language use and power structures. You can choose from a wide range of elective courses: from courses on empirical methods or intercultural communication, to analysing language in the media. Towards the end of your degree programme, you will focus in depth on researching the core topic.
An integral part of the combined Bachelor's degree is the MarSkills programme, in which you will acquire valuable, future-oriented skills.
