Welcome to the Centre for British Studies at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.

The institute, the first of its kind in Germany, conducts comprehensive research and offers teaching, lectures and conferences on a broad interdisciplinary agenda focussing on the United Kingdom. Our Annual Report is available as a pdf file here.

In its postgraduate degree course in British Studies, students from different nations and with different academic backgrounds study British history, culture and literature, as well as law, politics, business and economics. Detailed information about the "Master in British Studies" (M.B.S.) can be accessed at M.B.S.

This site is designed as a guide to the various activities we pursue, to the course offered, the research expertise, news and events. It also documents past activities and allows you access to work in progress and, in the future, course material provided for students. The Centre for British Studies is part of the Berlin-Brandenburg International Studies Network (BISS). More information about this network is available here.
