The Department of German is involved in graduate studies both in the field of German Studies “proper,” as well as in various cognate fields, as evidenced by staff involvement in a number of MA programmes including the MA in Drama and Theatre Studies, the MA in Film Studies, and the MAs in Applied Linguistics and Translation Studies, as well as its engagement in the field of Comparative Literature.

There is an active and vibrant research climate at the Department and students undertaking research find a very supportive and helpful environment within which to work. 

If you have any queries on our programmes, or if you merely have a research idea you would like to further discuss, please get in touch with us.
