Course Description
This course, combining history with degree-level study in German language and culture, is open to beginners in German as well as post-A level students. Absolute beginners, GCSE, AS (all beginners’ pathway), or A level students (advanced pathway) in German are warmly invited to apply. All students graduate with the same degree.
Beginners’ German
As a beginner you will follow an intensive language course designed to take you to degree level within four years.
Post-A level
If you already have A level German, your language classes will be at an advanced level.
You will normally divide your time equally between the two subjects. A wide choice of modules in German literature, linguistics, history, politics, culture and film will enable you to tailor the course to match your interests. In history, project work is introduced in the first year and developed through to the final year when you will undertake a year-long special subject study based on primary historical sources.
By the end of your course, you will have a broad knowledge of German history and culture, and will have acquired a high level of expertise in written and spoken German. Your international experience will demonstrate to employers that you are adaptable, flexible and able to cope in challenging situations.
