PHD STUDENTSHIPS IN GERMAN AND MA STUDY IN GERMAN AT KING’S COLLEGE LONDON

The Department of German at King’s College London seeks well-qualified applicants for PhD studentships to be awarded for projects beginning in October 2012. The Department is offering one dedicated departmental studentship in any aspect of German Studies from the Reformation to the present day. We will also support appropriately qualified German Studies candidates for two further School of Arts and Humanities studentships in Modern Languages, as well as for one PhD studentship for a Joint PhD at King’s and either the Humboldt University, Berlin or the University of Stuttgart. Candidates who wish to apply for a studentship should contact the PhD Admissions Tutor, Dr Ben Schofield, as soon as possible, since the deadline for the finalized studentship application to be submitted is the 1st February 2012.

PHD PROGRAMMES AT KING’S COLLEGE LONDON

The Department of German at King’s College London offers a range of innovative PhD programmes:

Joint-PhD with the Humboldt University, Berlin
This new bi-national PhD programme (which will be entering its second year in 2012) leads to the award of a Joint PhD and provides candidates with the opportunity to divide their PhD study between two prestigious universities in two dynamic capital cities, enjoying full supervision at both. The programme builds on an extensive network of existing institutional links, joint teaching experience and collaborative graduate programmes between King’s and the Humboldt. Current research projects include studies on Queer Theory and the Modernist Novel.    

Joint-PhD with the University of Stuttgart
This well-established bi-national PhD programme has been running since 2008 and leads to the award of a Joint PhD, and provides candidates with the opportunity to divide their PhD study between two prestigious universities, enjoying full supervision at both. The programme is particularly interested in projects that address the theme “The Internationalization of Literature and Science since the Early Modern Period”. In particular, the programme seeks applications from projects that will both develop theoretical models for processes of internationalization and critically assess historical case studies of this phenomenon, including the role of exchange movements and networks and the transfer of topics, practices and methods in literature and/or science. Current research projects include the internationalization of satire in Early Modern texts; history, translation and poetics in early 20th C. texts; the international reception of contemporary German bestsellers; the dissemination of theories of totalitarianism around the globe; and the role of journals in the dissemination of poetics. Partner institutions include the German Literature Archive in Marbach and the Institute for the History of Medicine of the Robert Bosch Foundation.

PhD in German at King’s
Many of our students choose to base their doctoral study mainly in the UK, with the bulk of their time spent on a closely supervised project in the Department of German, with shorter trips abroad for archival or other research. The dedicated German Department PhD studentship is likely to be of particular interest to candidates for this programme. Our current research students work in a broad range of fields including literary studies from the Reformation to the present day; film and cinema studies; literary and cultural theory; and the history of ideas. In the field of literary and cultural studies, applications are further welcome from students with interests in the study of nation, identity and memory; gender; realism and modernism; the classical tradition; film studies and film theory; and comparative literature. The Department's links with European Studies also provide an important focus for research on migrant communities; post-1945 political movements; gender and politics; international relations; European identities and German history. 

Postgraduate Training
All postgraduate research students in the department attend a regular graduate research seminar that provides a forum to discuss practical, methodological and theoretical issues relating to their research. We also organize individual training for graduate students, tailored to their specific needs; and students also attend the relevant research training workshops offered by the School of Arts & Humanities, the Graduate School, and the University of London Institute of Germanic and Romance Studies.

Enquiries and Deadlines
Informal enquiries about PhD study on any of the above programmes are welcomed at any time – please contact the PhD Admissions Tutor Dr Ben Schofield ([log in to unmask]; 020 7848 2113). However, if you wish to be considered for a studentship, please provide as soon as possible an outline of your project and details of your BA and MA results. The deadline for the finalized studentship application to be submitted is the 1st February 2012.  We will need to hear from you considerably in advance of this deadline to discuss your project with you.

MA PROGRAMMES AT KING’S COLLEGE LONDON

The Department of German also offers a dedicated MA and MRes for students:

MA/MRes in German and Comparative Literature at King’s College London
The MA/MRes in German and Comparative Literature is designed for German, Humanities and Liberal Arts undergraduates from the UK, as well as the German-speaking countries, Eastern Europe, the United States, Canada, Australia, India, and Asia, who wish to study German literature and culture as an academic subject within a European context and in an English-speaking environment. The MA is a taught programme that requires students to take three core modules (Comparative Readings, Comparative Theories, and the Dissertation), as well as specialist options on such topics as German Modernism, C19 Anglo-German Literary Relations, Film History, Comedy, and Melancholia and Hypochondria in Eighteenth-Century European Literature. The MRes combines taught modules with research-orientated Guided Reading modules. Students take the three MA core modules, and are supervised individually for further Guided Reading on their chosen topic. 

Enquiries and Deadlines
Informal enquiries about MA/MRes study on any of the above programmes are welcomed – please contact the MA/MRes Admissions Tutor Professor Robert Weninger ([log in to unmask]; 020 7848 2090). Staff profiles, including research interests, can be found on our website here:
http://www.kcl.ac.uk/artshums/depts/german/people/staff/academic/index.aspx
The deadline for completed applications is the 31st July 2012.

We look forward to hearing from you!
