The departments of Modern German Literature I and II and of Medieval Studies each offer three prizes for the best thesis in a course of study. After a committee has selected the best student in all three areas, the awards ceremony will take place at the beginning of February of the following year on the Master's Award Day. Besides the honour of being the best of their year, the students receive a financial award.
