Welcome on board

Students up in the rig of the sail-training ship "GREIF".

Welcome to the Department of British and North American Studies. We teach and research the literatures and cultures as well as the language of English speaking countries world-wide. The Department is subdivided into four areas:

We participate in the three-year Bachelor of Arts programme, in two five-year teaching degrees (German: Lehramt) for secondary schools, and in two Master of Arts programmes. The students at the Departmentare actively involved in various extracurricular activities. This comparably small department is much less anonymous that at large universities, and the relationship with teaching staff is personal and cooperative. We place high value on international mobility both of staff and students maintain many international contacts world-wide. Staff and students profit from Greifswald's proximity to the sea and, what is more, from its closeness to the metroplitan areas of Hamburg and Berlin.

Course and exam portal (HIS)

The HIS portal is mostly for information on and registration to courses and exams. It contains course descriptions, time, place, and contacts of the teacher/professor. In addition, there are various tools, e.g. to check marks/grades on-line, to print certificates and performance overviews, or to find rooms and staff.

Groupware

The Groupware serves as a communication tool for members of the university. For instance, teaching staff use it to inform their students about homework or cancellations. Studenst should check their Groupware account regularly for new e-mail. Alternatively, it is possible to activate automatic forwarding of messages to a private e-mail address to ensure you do not miss out on something.

Learning plattform Moodle

Moodle is a learning platform for staff and students to share information and material for courses. On-line discussions and other electronic functions complement the traditional classroom.
