Welcome to the Faculty of Language, Literature and Culture!

The Faculty comprises a wide spectrum of disciplines from American Studies to Translation Studies. It is one of the biggest faculties at the University of Innsbruck.

Our core competences come from two closely related fields of study:

• the individual languages, literatures, media and cultures in the fields of English and American Studies, German Philology, Latin and Greek Studies, Roman Studies and Slavonic Studies
• their basics, contacts and interactions: Linguistics, Translation Studies, and Comparative Literature.

A substantial part of the Faculty of Language, Literature and Culture is communication and interaction:

• between basics and applied science (e.g. the relation between the field and teacher training)
• between the University and the public (e.g.  in country-specific research centres and the research institute Brenner-Archiv as well as the Literaturhaus am Inn)
• between regional anchoring and integration in the internationale scientific community.
