The Department of German Studies offers the highest quality environment for teaching and research. It is one of the top three research departments in German Studies in the UK.
We offer a variety of opportunities for postgraduate work in German, drawing both on the expertise of our staff and on the facilities afforded by the university. Study can be either on a part-time or full-time basis. Candidates who have completed an MA course normally register for a PhD; otherwise registration for a research degree course is initially for the degree of MPhil; assuming progress is satisfactory, the MPhil can be upgraded to a PhD course at the end of the first or second year. The Department can offer supervision in most areas and epochs of the literatures, cultures and societies of the German-speaking world from the medieval period to the present day, as well as in linguistics.
