Am 01.10.2026 treten unsere neuen Fach-BA-Curricula in Kraft.
On October 1, 2026, our new specialized BA curricula will take effect.
What’s new in the BA program?
- Attractive new specialized BA program titles that emphasize our increased focus on non-European Romance-language and cultural regions: French and Francophone Studies, Italian Studies, Spanish and Latin American Studies
- Engaging new language practice formats (including those with practical applications), e.g., “Roundtable on Current Media Reports,” “Creative Language Project,” and much more
- Combined modules (e.g., courses in linguistics and literary studies)
- Greater emphasis on project work
- One (more extensive) bachelor’s thesis (in linguistics, literary studies, or cultural studies) instead of two shorter ones. This allows for an in-depth exploration of a topic in literary studies, linguistics, or cultural studies
- A wide selection of elective modules for individual specialization based on personal interests
Who can switch programs?
Anyone.
If you’re interested, please feel free to contact the academic advisor, Carmen Konzett-Firth (studienbeauftragung-romanistik@uibk.ac.at).
Don’t want to switch and started your degree program before October 1, 2026?
You’ll remain on the old curriculum and can complete it within a maximum of eight semesters (Section 14, Paragraph 2). Only then will you be automatically transferred to the new curriculum.
