Program profile

The KSM concept has been in operation in Germany and Denmark as a successful, joint-study program since 1997, offering joint degrees at BA, Diploma and MA levels. The program has enabled over 400 EU and international students to complete their first or second degree. In 2005, the Institutes of English, German, Danish and the Arts at Flensburg formed the KSM research group to offer a fresh, interdisciplinary postgraduate program on the new campus (2002) of Flensburg University, Germany.

Program

Two-year, full-time post-graduate study through seminars, lectures, project, presentation and examination (ECTS: 120 credits). The KSM Masters focuses on the study of cultural modernity in Language and Literature as well as Culture, Art, Textiles, Media and Business Studies at the interfaces of the Baltic, North Sea and North Atlantic zones. Credits are gained by research-oriented, postgraduate study of the culture, literature, language and visual media (arts, fashion, film) of German, Scandinavian and English-speaking Atlantic countries. KSM offers the only postgraduate study program in Europe with this research constellation.

Practicals & internships

One practical abroad of min. 12 weeks in the summer break (or two practicals totaling min. 5 weeks each, one of which is to be conducted abroad: subject to KSM Exam Board regulations).

Program Structure & Content

Overview

The KSM master's program encompasses the following six disciplines:

  • Cultural Studies
  • Linguistics
  • Literary Studies
  • Art/Visual Culture
  • Media Studies
  • Intercultural business studies

Electives and opportunities for further specialization allow students to choose between generalist studies and increasing specialization.

The first three semesters are thematically framed within the six main disciplines of the KSM program, as follows:

Semester: 'Interculturality'
Semester: 'Contact and Conflict'
Semester: 'Identity and Alterity'

In the fourth semester, students must prepare and give a presentation, take part in a workshop or colloquium, and write an independent research paper that they will later develop into a master's thesis.
