Master's Programme in German Language Studies

Knowledge of German is vital for a small nation like Norway. Both because the German-speaking countries play an important role in modern Europe today, and because Germany is Norway’s second largest trading partner.
With a master’s degree in German you get to experience and explore the German speaking countries from within, through their own language and not through translations.

Writing a master’s thesis is a research project on a topic you are interested in. Some of our previous master’s projects include:

Automatic translation of tourism websites
Herta Müller's autofictional narratives and democratic criticism of the totalitarian regime in Romania
Literature and films by second-generation immigrants to Germany, e.g. director Fatih Akin
A master’s degree in German will give you sought-after teaching skills as well as a solid base for working in business or with cultural dissemination focusing on German-speaking Europe. Our alumni also work as journalists, in administration and in trade.

Excellent skills in language, literature and culture build bridges between countries and companies.
