Linguistics PhD Colloquium

This colloquium is designed to be interdisciplinary. Doctoral candidates in German, English, Slavonic and Dutch studies present their doctoral theses at various stages of the research process: at the outset, during the course of their research, and towards the end.

The time and venue of the colloquium can be found in the course catalogue.

PhD Seminar

In addition to the colloquium, a special seminar for doctoral candidates is held each semester. The programme is tailored to the participants’ preferences. When led by visiting lecturers, it tends to take the form of a block seminar; when led by lecturers from Oldenburg, it traditionally consists of weekly sessions.

The time and venue of the seminar can be found in the course catalogue.

Graphemic Reading Circle

A reading circle has formed around the research focus ‘Graphemics/Script Grammar’. Those interested, and in particular those who wish to write their thesis – Bachelor’s, Master’s or PhD – in this field, meet regularly to read and discuss academic texts together.

Master’s Programme in Language Sciences

Students who are not pursuing a career in teaching and therefore do not intend to obtain a Master of Education can enrol on a new Master’s programme in Language Sciences. This is a joint programme run by the University of Oldenburg and the University of Bremen. Thanks to the large number of staff involved from both universities, the programme offers students a wide range of opportunities.
