I have BA with honours in Classical archaeology and currently doing Masters in Cultural Heritage (course work) both in Australia. I am planning on doing my PhD in Germany as I have found a few experts on the topic I am interested in. I still have a problem of how to approach the whole thing - was wondering if anyone would be able to help me.

- is it possible to do your research in English (is that something that you discuss with your potential supervisor or with the faculty?)

- should you first contact potential supervisor and discuss possibilities of doing PhD or should you apply to the chosen university and than nominate supervisor (I always thought the first one would be more logical but I'm not sure)

If anyone is able to help me with this I would be very grateful.
