The department’s research is particularly strong in the field of historical linguistics. Run jointly by Leiden University’s Department of German, the University of Amsterdam and the University of Utrecht, 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.

Studiengang

Alle Kurse werden in deutscher Sprache abgehalten und auch Referate, Hausarbeiten und Prüfungen sind auf Deutsch. Das gilt ebenfalls für die MA-Arbeit. Studierende belegen die Mehrzahl der Kurse an der Universität, an der sie immatrikuliert sind, sind aber gehalten zumindest einige Kurse an einer der Schwesteruniversitäten zu absolvieren. Die Studierenden suchen sich für die MA-Arbeit eine(n) Betreuer(in) an der eigenen Universität.

Sector plan

What does the Sector Plan mean for this programme?

The University of Amsterdam, the VU in Amsterdam, Leiden University and Utrecht University have agreed to combine their strengths.

As students follow part of the master’s programme (at least 10 ects) at one of the partner institutions, this collaboration gives you a much broader range of options. You can compose a programme from the language, literature and cultural modules offered by any of the four universities involved in the partnership.
