Course content

The German MPhil/PhD offers a tightly structured doctoral degree programme in a variety of research fields ranging from medieval German to gender studies to modern German film. Recent graduates from the programme have gone on to work in diverse sectors including academia, curatorship and the media.

PhD students enrolled on the German MPhil/PhD programme enjoy unparalleled access to library resources (the UCL library, the Senate House library, the Warburg Institute and the British Library), a broad range of research skills courses offered by the Doctoral School, which are part of the doctoral programme, and a variety of cultural events offered by DAAD, the Goethe-Institut, Europa House and the German Embassy. All students have a primary and a secondary supervisor to guide them through their PhD studies, and they can apply for funds to conduct research at specialist libraries in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
