Both doctoral programs support doctoral students in carrying out their dissertation projects in literary and cultural studies.
Doctoral students of the European PhDnet "Literary and Cultural Studies" are supervised at two universities and receive a binational doctoral degree upon completion. Regularly organized symposia at a total of seven partner universities promote the international exchange of knowledge and optimally prepare doctoral candidates for an international career.
The doctoral program "Culture - Text - Action" focuses on the concepts of "text" and "action". With an interdisciplinary approach, doctoral students from different disciplines are actively supported in their research on literary and cultural studies issues. The DP is integrated into the European PhDnet.
