Masters

The teaching of German at the University of Toronto goes back to the 1840s and is thus almost as old as the University itself. The Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures offers graduate program which has established a particularly productive constellation of postcolonial/colonial studies, literature and philosophy, transnational studies, and film studies. In preparation for their future careers as leaders in the field, graduate students also receive training in language teaching and curriculum development. The department is one of the few in North America to offer exposure to the entire span of German literature and culture from the Medieval period to the present. Since 2013, the department offers the unique opportunity to pursue graduate studies in Yiddish. The MA program consists of two intensive semesters of core courses, innovative elective seminars, and directed study.
