Many of our alumni work as teachers or translators, but in-depth knowledge of language and literature is also needed in the fields of administration, media, communication, and culture. Our master’s courses and programmes prepare students for a career in academia, and it is not uncommon that our alumni successfully move on to doctoral studies.
