German Studies at Warwick is consistently ranked among the top German departments in the UK, and produces internationally-recognised publications and projects with demonstrable impact. Our work engages with the diversity of German language culture from 1750 to the present. We approach our material from a wide range of theoretical perspectives, though always with a strong sense of how culture reflects the differing historical contexts that gave rise to it, be they social, political, intellectual or aesthetic.

We also run a dynamic interdisciplinary research workshop, sponsored by Warwick Humanities Research Centre, at which colleagues, guest speakers both national and international and research students can present their work – be it work in progress or advanced conference-style papers.
