The Master's degree in "Cultures and Languages of the Mediterranean" is an application-oriented degree programme that looks at spatial and cultural specifics of the Mediterranean. It deals with both historical foundations of the areas concerned and current social, political, linguistic and economic situations of the Mediterranean.

The elective compulsory study section offers modules in three different areas: linguistics, themes and practical studies. Students can choose modules according to their individual interests of specialisation and expertise related to their academic backgrounds.
