The University of Muenster offers ‘Classics and German’, a unique combination of German language courses with the occasion to learn about the ‘German way’ of doing Classics. It is especially designed for Graduates, Post-Docs, and Junior Staff in the Classics. The German language courses take place in the mornings. They are taught on all levels, in small groups led by skilled teachers, with a special emphasis on the needs of future academics. In the afternoons, participants are invited to become part of the Classics community: meet fellow students and colleagues, be a guest at regular seminars and lecture classes, and join discussion groups. We will organize events and venues to get to know the faculty and students in your fields of interest. Choose from various lectures and guest talks and see what is going on in German academics. If wanted, we will be happy to facilitate access by introductory sessions or written material in order to minimize language barriers. The German language courses are professionally organized by a special unit of the university’s Sprachenzentrum (WipDaF). For information and registration please go to:
