Regulations on the choice of languages: 

In the mandatory area "Languages and Literatures of the Christian East" within the MA Eastern Christian Studies, students are required to study two different languages. For each language, one language course module (10 ECTS) and one reading course module (5 ECTS) are provided. The modules "M1: Language I – Language Course" and "M2: Language I – Reading Course", as well as "M3: Language II – Language Course" and "M4: Language II – Reading Course", must therefore be completed in two different languages. A language chosen for the Language I modules is excluded from being chosen for the Language II modules. Multiple accreditation of the same language is not permitted. 

The specific language is chosen by the students from the language pool designated for the degree program. The actual availability depends on the respective courses offered in the program.

Studium.Pro is the interdisciplinarily designed program for profile-oriented studies at the KU. "Pro" stands for profile, profession, and a science that is also socially engaged. Studium.Pro offers students the opportunity to enrich their educational and qualification path alongside or within their subject studies. This is achieved through the interdisciplinary examination of current problems, through the qualified examination of cross-disciplinary topics, or through the project-based handling of current social themes and challenges.

Each semester, the KU's course catalog includes courses that can be optionally attended by students of all disciplines. During their studies, one module from the canon of the offer must be chosen amounting to 5 ECTS points. Each semester, modules are also offered that take place partially or entirely digitally.

The module M18: International Internship in the MA Eastern Christian Studies degree program enables students to gain practical experience in an international academic, ecclesiastical, or cultural environment. In institutions such as universities, research centers, museums, church facilities, NGOs, or cultural institutions, they apply the knowledge acquired during their studies in theology, church history, philology, and cultural studies to specific work and research contexts.

During the internship, students gain insight into the institutional, cultural, and ecclesiastical structures of international partners and learn to orient themselves independently in different working environments. They participate in projects, research, or digitization initiatives, develop communication and teamwork skills, and take on tasks and project components on their own responsibility.

An online block seminar for the presentation of the written internship report promotes reflection on the experiences made and the skills acquired. At the same time, the module supports students in sharpening their academic and professional orientation and exploring possible fields of activity in research, education, cultural work, or ecclesiastical service in an international context.
