Extra-curricular

Community building

Activities are organised by the programme  to encourage community building, for instance the annual session where alumni talk about their careers and the information session about internships, specifically tailored to students of the Master’s programme in Literary Studies. Moreover, the student association of the German Department, S!mp,  regularly organises cultural and social activities.

Throughout the year, the Leiden University Centre for the Arts in Society also organises lectures on relevant topics which are attended by Literary Studies staff, PhD students and MA students.
