German Language and Culture

The MA in German Language and Culture is taught in German and offers you the opportunity to explore in-depth the rewarding fields of German language, literature and culture. The department’s research is particularly strong in the fields of historical linguistics, modern literature, and cultural studies. Thus Leiden offers a programme that strongly focuses on an intercultural perspective.

Run jointly by Leiden University’s Department of German, the University of Amsterdam, the University of Utrecht and the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, you will be able to take advantage of a broad range of specialised courses on the programme, and will benefit from each university’s specific teaching and research methods.
