English Department Our Institute

Our institute is situated in the heart of the old city, housed in the University of Heidelberg’s oldest building, the former Jesuit residential college. Despite its age, the building boasts all the amenities of a modern university. Many classrooms are equipped with laptops and beamers and wireless Internet access is also available. Our extensive departmental library holds a substantial collection of DVDs as well as other media that students may borrow and offers ample space for quiet study. Outside the classroom, the Department of English Studies offers a wealth of opportunities for students to interact with faculty and each other. In addition to numerous lectures and workshops, the department hosts an annual Christmas Party with performances by staff, faculty and students as well as a Garden Party to close the summer semester.
