Location of University of Birmingham

The Department of German Studies at Birmingham enjoys a long-standing national and international reputation and is one of the leading centres in the country for language, literature, history and culture. Research is pursued in its broad social and intellectual context, and you are encouraged to select topics that require knowledge of developments elsewhere in Europe.

Since this inter-disciplinary approach is encouraged, it is possible to arrange joint supervision involving staff from other departments, especially from the Institute for German Studies, and Modern History, giving you access to a broader knowledge base.


Contents

The MA by Research programme requires you to prepare a dissertation of up to 40,000 words on a topic of your choice, for which an academic staff member will provide expert supervision.
