Cross-Border Studies is a degree programme in the field of linguistics and cultural studies. The programme focuses on an East or Southeast European language of your choice. You also learn or deepen your knowledge of a second language; here you can choose from German, English or Italian.

In addition to the linguistic and cultural studies core of the degree programme, you have the opportunity to focus intensively on a variety of individual specialisations.

These diverse specialisations allow you to gain expertise according to your personal strengths and interests. In this way, you will be ideally prepared to set new impulses as a cross-border game changer in multinational companies, in international management or in the dynamic world of media!

Cross-Border Studies instils networked thinking and the ability to reflect and deals with the social prerequisites and dimensions of language and culture. Consequently, the programme helps you to understand the distinctive features of various cultural spheres and to acquire expert knowledge in your chosen field of specialisation. This means that later on, you will be able to skilfully apply your know-how in international companies, NGOs or cross-border institutions across a wide range of areas. The interdisciplinary nature of Cross-Border Studies provides the perfect preparation for a globalised world facing increasingly complex challenges.

A wide range of specialisation options means that you can tailor your studies to your particular interests and strengths. The Guided Electives comprise Applied Cultural Science, Business Administration and Entrepreneurship, Digitalisation, Diversity Education and Peace Studies, Women's and Gender Studies, Geography, History, Media and Communication Studies, Sustainable Development.
