Information for Students
Programme Information
What courses you take, and when, depends on your degree option (BA major, BA minor, Lehramt Gymnasium, etc). For details, please consult the study plan ( Studienverlaufsplan ) for your degree programme below. Please be mindful of the fact that some courses are only available in either the summer or winter term, not both. Being aware of this helps you choose the right courses at the right time, avoiding unnecessary delays in your studies.
Grammar is designed to solidify and extend students’ knowledge of, and communicative competence in, core areas of the English language system, the focus being on the grammar of the verb phrase. The General Language Course is an integrated skills course designed to boost students’ communicative competence in the four skills (speaking, writing, listening, reading), with a special focus on academic discourse.
On the basis of these first two courses, the Reading & Writing I course is geared to developing students’ literacy skills.
Completion of the Introductory Module is the prerequisite for attending the Advanced Module.

UNIcert®
As of 2023, students enrolled on the English Department's BA degree programmes can opt to take a UNIcert® III exam (CEFR level C1). This exam is administered by the Department's Language and Communication team. Two specializations are available:
- UNIcert® III English for Academic Purposes , which is for students on the degree programmes "B.A. Anglophone Studies" and "B.A. GuK" - History and Cultural Studies"
- UNIcert® III Business English , which is for students on the degree programme "B.A. Intercultural Communication and Business (ICB)"
JLU's Zentrum für fremdsprachliche und berufsfeldorientierte Kompetenzen (ZfbK) also offers UNIcert® courses and exams, in a range of languages and at levels I - IV. These are entirely independent of, and not to be confused with, the English Department's UNIcert® programme.
PLEASE NOTE: THIS TEST IS FOR STUDENTS OF THIS DEPARTMENT ONLY.
