The cycle of studies conducive to the Master’s degree in German Studies seeks to deepen scientific and methodological competences in order to acquire specialized capacities in research and/or professional domains, as well as to provide the possibility of an evolutive and coherent accomplishment of a post-graduate academic path. Thus, the Masters in German Studies is a way to give a high education in German Studies, in literary and cultural areas, as well as in literary translation and the study of German literature in a European context. It is, therefore, a flexible specialization which looks to adapt to several demands from the labour market.

The division of the course into the areas of German Literatures and Cultures, Literary Translation and German Literature in a European Context obeys a differentiation of goals, regarding research work and the functioning of this Masters:

• On the first variant, students will directly address German expression literatures and cultural-related issues.
• On the second variant, we will aim to obtain a developed competence/skill in literary text translation from German to Portuguese.
• On the third variant, students will analyse the way Middle Age German’s literary texts are related to their European context.
