American Studies Leipzig has held its second annual Student Orientation Week (SOW). The goals of SOW 2006 were to introduce students to the new BA Program in American Studies, to allow students to get to know each other, and to acquaint the incoming BA Class of 2006 to the broader American Studies Community in Leipzig. Events were held over a period of three days.
We have prepared a special page with information on the current BA module registration status. You can find this page at www.americanstudies.uni-leipzig.de/news/registration. Information on the admission to American Studies “Wahlbereichsmodule” will be available on this page from Monday, October 16, 09:00 on.
American Studies Leipzig has launched a new website as part of its transition to the era of BA and MA Degrees inspired by the Bologna Process of the European Union.
The website seeks to engage prospective students in Germany, Europe, and internationally who are considering the possibilities to study at one of Central Europe’s oldest and most distinguished universities and in one of Germany’s leading American Studies Programs with a strong and unique profile.
