Our distinguished graduate program in German is both comprehensive and innovative, dedicated to German literature and linguistics, language and culture, but also to media, film, intellectual history, and theoretical approaches that reach beyond disciplinary boundaries.
We offer a broad range of research seminars that reflect the interests of our diverse faculty and most recent developments in the field. The topics of our courses range from Medieval literature to 21st century literature; from the literature of migration to studies in media and film; from Old Saxon and Gothic to modern German dialects; from bilingualism to the study of language and power; covering also relations among literature, law, space, philosophy, and religion.
