Ten Reasons to Study With Us

What makes studying English in Göttingen so attractive? Why should students decide to come here, if nearly every other university also offers a BA programme on English Studies? Here's ten reasons to choose English at Göttingen - and anyone thinking about studying with us is very welcome to visit us and attend courses to see that we really are as attractive as we say!

• All our courses are held in English.

• Göttingen University Library has a special collection of publications on all aspects of English and North American literature and culture - there's books aplenty to read and use!
• If you are interested in the Middle Ages (or hobbits), we offer you courses on medieval English as a discipline of its own - very few universities in the north of Germany can boast of that.
• Göttingen University is one of only three universities in Lower Saxony where English for Vocational Schools is offered.
