German Studies postgraduate community

There are currently (2017-2018) eight PhD students in German Studies; one student has just submitted their dissertation and another has recently been awarded their PhD. Many have international origins, having been attracted to Warwick German Studies from Germany and North America. Together, they use our wide-ranging staff expertise to the full by researching across the epochs, focussing on German and Austrian culture from 1770 to the present, working with different cultural media (literature, film, theatre, archicture etc.) and often adopting interdisciplinary and comparative modes. All students benefit from our lively and supportive postgraduate culture. They attend and present papers to the Warwick Workshop for Interdisciplinary German Studies; the students are funded from a variety of sources, including the AHRC and also the generous CADRE funding scheme; and across the faculty, CADRE ( the Centre for Arts Doctoral Research Excellence) offers a wider framework of opportunities for developing skills and presenting research.
