Course Summary

This four-year German degree is designed to meet the needs of beginners as well as more advanced learners. German is widely spoken across Europe, especially in the emerging markets of Central and Eastern Europe. Germany is one of the world’s largest economies and has become a key player in European and global politics. You'll become fluent in this powerful language, gain a genuine insight into German culture and society in the 20th and 21st century and be equipped with valuable skills that make you highly attractive to employers. This degree offers a large selection of modules and has inclusivity and diversity at the centre. You’ll encounter the diversity of German-speaking cultures, which includes mainstream culture but also often marginalised voices, such as perspectives on gender, race, class and queer identities. You’ll develop and consolidate your spoken and written German through core language modules. You'll also choose from a range of optional modules including applied language (translation and language for professional purposes) and modules exploring various aspects of German culture, history and politics. The size of our department allows us to offer a wide variety of module choice, a range of co-curricular events and our student-led German Society contributes to a strong sense of community. This four-year degree includes a year abroad.
