German & Scandinavian Studies at the University of Massachusetts Amherst is proud of our long tradition as a distinguished center of research and teaching at the graduate and undergraduate levels. The tabs above will guide you to more detailed information about our faculty, classes, events, and degree programs (B.A., M.A., Ph.D.).

If you are a student interested in beginning Swedish; advanced German; reading medieval poetry; studying East German film; transnational approaches to “race” in today’s Europe; Viking culture; feminist studies; reading Kafka, Marx, or Heidegger in the original; witches and fairy tales; Jews in Germany before and after the Holocaust; or the history of World War I, then you have come to the right place!
