The Arizona-Leipzig Joint PhD / D. Phil. Program in Transcultural German Studies / Deutsch als Fremdsprache is one of a kind worldwide in scope and design. This Online Handbook guides you through the various unique aspects of the program.
The Arizona-Leipzig Transcultural German Studies PhD / D. Phil. is housed on two campuses, one in Leipzig, Germany and one in Tucson, USA. Incoming Tucson-based students complete one year of doctoral coursework at the University of Arizona and a second year at the University of Leipzig, teaching and researching at both universities, while financially supported through teaching fellowships. Leipzig-based students, who begin their doctoral studies in Germany, pursue their second year of doctoral course work at the University of Arizona, while teaching alongside their Tucson-based colleagues in the German Studies Department. By fostering transnational collaboration among teachers and researchers, the Arizona-Leipzig PhD / D. Phil. Program nurtures cultural competence and scholarly engagement in two challenging, inspiring academic environments, while providing intensive mentoring and professionalization opportunities.
