German is one of the most widely spoken first languages in Europe. The combined significance of Germany, Austria and Switzerland are undisputed. Studying German, therefore, offers an array of cultural and career opportunities. Our teaching involves not only the language, but also the arts and culture of German-speaking countries, equipping graduates with valuable intercultural understanding and key transferable skills.

 

Our students are strongly encouraged to spend an Erasmus year abroad at a host university in Austria or Germany as part of their degree. A year abroad is a valuable experience, which allows you to perfect your language skills and to broaden your horizons. This is recognised in the degree title itself: BA Arts students who successfully complete a year abroad graduate with a BA Arts International. If you wish to study more than one language with a built-in year abroad, consider the BA Modern Languages degree.
