1. Students have the option to replace one MA Seminar with an Internship, which is relevant to the nature and level of the degree programme and subject to the approval of the internship co-ordinator, mobility office, and exam board.
2. Pending availability of exchange places and eligibility, students have the option of spending one semester at one of the institutions in the Americas with which the degree programme has a formal exchange agreement. Students doing course work in North America will fulfill the program requirements by acquiring a total of 10 ECTS in the US. For visa purposes, they need to complete the equivalent of 3 research seminars at 400 level or higher. However, the additional 20 ECTS accrued (necessary to maintain full-time student status in the US) are “extra“ credits that will be listed in the diploma supplement, but are not required for graduating from our program.
3. Students who began the MA in North American Studies before academic year 2022-2023, and who have not yet completed/passed their required 40 credits of seminars, may take any 10 EC course above that they have not yet passed. Note that "Writing for the Real World" may not be taken if the old course "Practicum" has already been passed.
