Postgraduate Study in German

German Studies at The University of Adelaide offers the possibility of MA and PhD Degrees by research only. Normally a First Class Honours Degree is required in order to enrol directly as a doctoral candidate. 

The University of Adelaide is ideally suited for postgraduate research in German Studies. The Barr-Smith library houses one of the best German journal collections in the country; it also contains a specialized European Documentation Centre (EDC) and a huge German literature microfiche collection, donated to it by the German government in 1996. The city of Adelaide is also home to the Lutheran Archives, a key resource for anyone wishing to carry out research about German settlers in South Australia.

It is essential in planning postgraduate work to consult staff on the availability of appropriate resources and supervision. For some brief information on the research interests of staff in German Studies, see the section on Research below. Interested students should in the first instance contact the Discipline Coordinator.

Postgraduate research can be, but need not be, supported by a postgraduate scholarship. For further information about the availability of postgraduate research awards, contact the Scholarships office on 8303 3044.
