No German needed: Courses taught in English at the University of Konstanz

Many departments at the University of Konstanz offer a wide range of courses taught in English, and some in English/German concurrently. On the Master level, more courses are taught in English than on an undergraduate level, but in general, English courses are on the rise. Even in German taught courses, a lot of literature read is in English. Giving your presentation or writing a term paper in English is also always an option.
