PhD AND MASTER SCHOLARSHIPS IN GERMAN STUDIES AT NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY
For the coming academic session (2009-10), the School of Modern Languages at Newcastle University invites applications for Masters and PhD awards. A variety of bursaries are available for UK, EU and overseas candidates.

One 3-year PhD studentship offered by the School is reserved exclusively for German Studies, and all the general funding opportunities of the School of Modern Languages are also open to candidates wishing to pursue German Studies. This can be either in one of the taught MA programmes or in a research degree (MLitt or PhD).
The following MA-programmes can be studied with a focus on German:

· MA in Linguistics and Language acquisition
· MA in Linguistics of European Languages
For research degrees (MLitt and PhD) we are happy to supervise in the following areas:
