The Canadian Summer School in Germany will start its programs on May 5th. Director John Plews hopes to be able to do it in person, but should that not be possible, the programs will be done virtually. The programs include language and culture learning on different levels and programs for teaching german. Find out more details in the video!

Herzlichen Glückwunsch to Katarina (Kei) Sremcevic, winner of the 2020 Dyck Award!

This scholarship was established by the late J.W. Dyck, the founder of the Department of Germanic and Slavic Studies. Valued at $1,000, it is awarded to the student with the highest overall average entering the second or third year of a German and/or Russian/Slavic program.

Due to funding restrictions, the Faculty of Arts is not currently accepting international applicants to its PhD programs.  The Department of German & Slavic Studies will be unable to admit PhD applicants who require study permits for the 2021-2022 academic year and until further notice.  Limited numbers of international applicants to MA programs and to the IcGS MA program can still be accepted.

An Encounter: Lina Loos

The Austrian Cultural Forum offers a free virtual reading in German about the famous Austrian actress and writer of the fin de siècle Vienna, Lina Loos (1882–1950). 

During the Covid pandemic, our work continues, so we are inviting you to join our virtual GSS Side-by-Side Writing Group. We are meeting three times a week for two hours each on Zoom, chat about the projects we are working on (or anything else that moves us that day), and work on whatever needs to be done.

Are you a student from another Canadian university interested in taking one (or more) of our German online courses in Spring 2020?
