In the master's program Europäische Sprachen, linguistic knowledge can be acquired across disciplines or with a subject-specific focus. The degree program is multilingual. In addition to English and German, the program includes the acquisition or development of at least one Romance, one Slavic, or one Classical language. The choices are French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Polish, Czech, Sorbian, Greek, and Latin.

In the master's program Literatur und Kultur im gesellschaftlichen Wandel, a specialization can be chosen from the subjects represented at the faculty: English and American Studies, German Studies and Media Cultures, Classical Philology, Romance Studies, and Slavic Studies. However, the program also allows students to explore current social issues across disciplines, such as digitization, gender and queer studies, future studies, and environmental humanities. In the third semester, a stay abroad is mandatory. In the video, Jakob takes us through a week of his everyday life as an exchange student in Japan.

The Master Digital Humanities is aimed at students from the humanities and social sciences who want to learn about and implement the possibilities of digitally supported teaching, research and outreach in practice. Through the elective areas of Society and History, Art and Image, School and Education, and Language and Literature, students gain an in-depth insight into the Digital Humanities at the interface between the humanities and social sciences and actors in cultural, educational, and mediation institutions such as museums, galleries, collections, libraries, and archives. In the video, Prof. Lasch addresses the most important questions about the program.

Presentation of the Faculty

At the SLK faculty, you will not only study one language: In addition to the basics of linguistics and literary studies, you will deal with phenomena such as digitality, politics, gender, and much more on a cultural studies basis. The structure of the program allows you to focus on your interests - interdisciplinarity and internationality are encouraged. Thus, you will be optimally prepared for a career in the knowledge society of the 21st century.

What do TikTok, monster plants, theater, and ancient manuscripts have in common? These are all topics that you might encounter in your German Studies. German Studies can be studied as a sub-subject of the Master's programs in European Languages and Literature and Culture in Social Change.

Romance Studies is a sub-subject of the Bachelor's program in Language, Literature and Cultural Studies at the TU Dresden and can be further deepened in the Master's programs in European Languages and Literature and Culture in Social Change.

Are you interested in the ancient languages Greek and Latin? Then Classical Philology might be the right study for you. You can also deepen this subject in the master's programs of the faculty.

"Quick question" for Prof. Alexander Lasch 
Where does the saying "Everything's fine" come from?
Getting the train on time, clearing up a misunderstanding with a colleague, being satisfied with life in general - then "everything is fine". But what does it have to do with the yellow grease when everything is in order? Alexander Lasch, Chair of German Linguistics and Language History at TU Dresden, knows the answer to our short question. (Video language: German)

"Quick question" to Prof. Simon Meier-Vieracker
What does soccer have to do with politics?
"The ball is now in the new federal government's court": in political reporting, but also in election campaign and Bundestag speeches, metaphors from sport can be found time and again. Soccer in particular seems to lend itself to this. Linguist Prof. Simon Meier-Vieracker reveals why journalists and politicians like to use this rhetorical device so much. (Video language: German)

A "quick question" for Dr. Annelie Bachmaier
Why do we wish others good luck?
Why do we wish others a broken leg instead of wishing them good luck? Dr. Annelie Bachmaier works at the Institute of Slavic Studies at TU Dresden and explains where the saying comes from, why we shouldn't take every proverb too literally and why it pays to know the linguistic background. (Video language: German)

Established in 1956, DIE BÜHNE is one of the oldest student theaters in Germany and currently offers over 150 theater enthusiasts the opportunity to stage, write and direct plays. Campus reporter Richard takes a look behind the scenes of the murder-mystery play "Es ist einsam auf der Schlossallee". (Video language: German)
