- Description/content
- The PhD programme German as a Foreign Language ("Deutsch als Fremdsprache") offers qualified students from the MENA region (Middle East and North Africa) and beyond the prospect of earning a PhD degree after having achieved a Master’s degree in German as a Foreign Language or related fields (e.g. German Studies, Intercultural Studies, or Applied Linguistics with a focus on the German language).
The goals of the programme are to promote research on learning and teaching foreign languages in these regions and to qualify academic staff to gain proficiency in the fields of scientific methods and methodology in foreign language pedagogy, linguistics, cultural studies, German for special purposes, and media and media methodology.
A doctorate is a prerequisite for an academic career at universities in the MENA region, and this programme is therefore intended for that target group.
