English Studies


'I am very grateful to the amazing people of the university’s English Department for providing me with opportunities to grow as a scholar and as a person. They helped me connect my passion with my academic research, and generally encouraged me to explore.

I’ve been living in Trier for the past seven years now, and in this short time I was able to witness the city grow and develop its own young, student-connected subculture. There’s always one adventure or another just waiting to be discovered.'

'What I appreciate most is the calm and enjoyable atmosphere both at uni and in the city. Studying English literature in Trier has been and continues to be a hugely enriching and rewarding experience.

Topical seminars in the department offer introductions to and substantial discussions of a variety of texts and theories alike, yet allow enough freedom to pursue one’s own interest – one can experiment with uncommon topics as well as go into detail and develop new approaches to more traditional ones.'
