At a Glance

The Department of Philosophy and Humanities features a breadth of research in the humanities found nowhere else in Germany. Working in seven different institutes, its members study philosophical issues, work in the field of general and comparative literature, and examine cultural and medial transformation processes. In the various fields related to the study of languages and literatures, the Department focuses primarily on Germanic and Romance languages and on Greek and Latin. Research on theatre encompasses dance, film, and music.

Broad Range of Degree Programs

The Department currently offers 17 bachelor's degree programs, eight of which can lead to teacher certification (optional). There are also many modules and 15 consecutive master's programs. The Department offers doctoral programs taught in German or English within the structure of the Dahlem Research School. Questions about the various degree programs can be addressed to the Office of Academic Affairs (Studienbüro) or the Examinations Offices of the Department.

Excellent Academic Infrastructure

Students and doctoral students in the humanities are provided with an excellent academic infrastructure. The Department's facilities include the Philological Library, designed by Lord Norman Foster, and the Friedrich Schlegel Graduate School of Literary Studies, the only graduate school focusing exclusively on literary studies that was successful in the Excellence Initiative of the German government.
