Language, literature, culture

Language, literature and culture represent the main focuses of research at the Faculty of Philology. There are no historical or regional limitations to the faculty’s broad disciplinary spectrum. The objects of research span all cultural epochs and continents.

The Research Council of the Faculty of Philology fosters interdisciplinary networking and exchange both within the faculty and beyond. It also provides guidance on grant applications and actively seeks to identify and initiate new research endeavours. The council makes recommendations regarding the allocation of seed funding for such projects (through the faculty’s Research Support Fund [de]) as well as for international conferences, symposia, and similar events (through the faculty’s Internationalisation Fund [de]). All researchers within the faculty are eligible to apply.
