The module is subdivided into two major parts:
- Project: Applied English Literatures and Cultures (3 ECTS):
Students complete a project in applied English Literatures and Cultures evolving from a seminar they attend in one of the core modules (3 ECTS): they apply the content of a seminar in exhibitions, festivals, schools, and other forms of outreach (e.g. Webpage, Wikipedia article, podcast, public posters, guiding a tour, art catalogue, interview)
Students choose a focus on professional practice inside or outside the university. Accordingly, they take “Practice I” or “Practice II”:
Practice I (Professional): Internship (9 ECTS):
For a focus on practice outside the university, students do an Internship of at least nine weeks (full-time) with a company or institution and hand in a report on it of c. 1.500 words (9 ECTS). Students are free to follow their own professional interests; they find the opportunity for an internship by themselves.
Practice II (Academic) (9 ECTS):
For a focus on practice inside the university, students may perform tasks in academic life:
- They can teach a tutorial (6) or work in the Research & Writing Center for one semester if they are found suitable by the faculty and attend a class in teaching skills (6 - 9 ECTS).
- They can organize & advertise small conferences or workshops either by themselves or in assisting events of the department. (3 - 6 ECTS)
- They can attend to tasks in the appearance of the Dept. in social media. (3 - 6 ECTS)
- They can work as a mentor in a peer-learning group, such as Annotating Literature, for one semester if they are found suitable by the faculty (6 – 9 ECTS).
- They can work as an editorial assistant for one semester on a journal or book edited by faculty if found suitable (6 ETS).
- They can do classes offered by the career center or the Foreign Language Center for additional skills needed in their programme. The course ‘Written Communication 2’ at the English Department is also accepted here (3 ETCS)
