In the most recent Research Assessment Exercise (2008), German at Leeds was ranked equal second amongst German departments in the UK.

We are internationally renowned for research into the German-speaking world in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, including literature, film, politics and society, gender studies, globalisation, border studies, and transnationalism.

We have attracted significant funding from the AHRC, the British Academy, the Leverhulme Trust, the British Council, the Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung, German state and city foundations, the German Academic Exchange Service, and the Goethe-Institut. We have also led a significant number of international research projects.

Postgraduates from the UK, Germany and beyond are attracted by our high-quality publications - see our staff profiles section - vibrant research environment and impressive range of conferences, seminars, and knowledge transfer activities.
