  • Duration

    3 Years

Learning a language opens a door to another culture. Our BA German allows you to combine studying the culture of German-speaking countries with gaining a near-fluent command of the German language. You will be able to choose from modules on German literature, film, history, philosophy and memory studies covering topics from the sixteenth century to the present day. Our graduates go on to careers in international organisations or businesses, in translation or teaching, and as researchers or journalists.

This programme is also available for full-time evening study over four years, including a year of study abroad, and for part-time evening study over four years.
