**The Doctoral Program in Literary Studies**
The international, interphilological Doctoral Program in Literary Studies at the University of Basel offers doctoral students excellent conditions for writing their dissertations in literary studies and closely related fields. Selected seminars, regular doctoral colloquia, as well as retreats and study days provide numerous opportunities to exchange ideas with other doctoral students, receive feedback on the work in progress, and acquire the skills necessary for an academic career. The Doctoral Program also supports its members with contributions to conferences, research trips, and archival travel and financial support for their own events.
The Doctoral Program is part of the Department of Languages and Literatures, which unites the following philologies: Anglophone Literary and Cultural Studies, German Studies, French Studies, Ibero-Romance Studies, Italian Studies, Nordic Studies, Slavic Studies, and Eastern European Studies. The Doctoral Program's research foci include literary and cultural theory, the history of literary forms, arts and media, forms of knowledge, and cultural practice. Currently, the Doctoral Program has a membership about 50 doctoral students, half of which with an international background.
