Welcome to the Institute of English and American Studies (IAA)

The Institute of English and American Studies (IAA) at the University of Rostock

English and American Studies, that means the studies of British and American Literature, Culture and  Linguistics as well as Applied English and - for the teaching profession - Didactics. In fact, these subject areas encompass the entire diversity of the English-speaking world, which you can discover during your studies.

Studium

The diverse research interests of the teaching staff relate to both historical and current linguistic, literary and cultural phenomena of the English-speaking world. This research is reflected in the broad thematic spectrum of teaching.

You can set individual priorities in your studies of English/American Studies and give free rein to your curiosity in your choice of seminars. The institute is characterized by small seminar groups, personal support and direct contact between lecturers and students. The FANAM (Fachschaft Anglistik/Amerikanistik) student representative body is regularly involved in the planning of the course and also contributes significantly to the positive atmosphere at the institute.
