Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin

Cooperation between HU and King’s College London

 

We have a long-standing cooperation with King’s College London that involves members of staff as well as PhD and MA students.

We participate in the Joint PhD programme between HU and KCL.

Our research activities have so far centred on four main areas: life writing, cultural translations and border crossings, modernism and metropolitan cultures.
