The Department of German and the Centre for Modern European Literature are pleased to announce a new partnership with the Deutsches Literaturarchiv Marbach (DLA).
From 2014, students enrolled on either the MA in Modern German and Comparative Literature or the MA in Modern European Literature will be given the opportunity to participate in an internship scheme as part of their studies. Students will spend 1-2 months in Marbach learning both how to use the archive for research and how archives work as institutions. The DLA has generously agreed to pay the accommodation and travel costs of the students.
These MA programmes are thus suitable not only for students who intend to go on to do a PhD, but also for students interested in combining literary scholarship with practical experience of how cultural institutions work.
