Language requirements at the department of Anthropology of the Americas
German is the main language of instruction at the University of Bonn. In our B.A. program “Anthropology of the Americas”, the basic modules are taught in German, but elective courses are also offered in English and some in Spanish.
In the M.A. program “Anthropology of the Americas”, the main language of instruction is English, but many courses are also offered in Spanish. Details of the language requirements for our Bachelor's degree can be found here and for our Master's degree here.
Courses and ECTS
The whole course offer at the University of Bonn is available in the lecture listings (BASIS) (mostly in German). Taking into account that you have the status of an Erasmus student you will not be able to register to the courses in the same way as the other students in Bonn.
First, you must choose the courses that you want to attend and establish a Learning Agreement with your home university. You are allowed to select courses within the whole Faculty of Arts (Philosophische Fakultät), but it is obligatory to take at least one course from the department of Cultural Anthropology and Folklore.
After that, you should inform the instructors during the first lectures about your wish to attend their classes.
