What this course is about
UCAS code: R2L1
Here's what University of Warwick says about its German and Economics course.
Our German and Economics (BA) degree enables you to acquire in-depth relevant linguistic and intercultural knowledge while developing your skills as an analyst of international economic phenomena. You will graduate as a highly qualified linguist, with specialist communication, research, critical and evaluative skills that are highly sought after by employers.
Germany is the leading economy in the EU, making the joint study of Economics and German language and culture a powerful combination. Economics plays a part in every aspect of modern life, investigating the choices of consumers and corporations, groups and governments, networks and nations. It uses scientific methods to develop theoretical models of behaviour and markets, institutions and public policy.
This joint degree enables you to acquire in-depth relevant linguistic and cultural studies while developing your ability as an analyst of international economic phenomena. The linguistic and cultural knowledge you acquire from the study of German will allow you to apply your understanding of Economics in a global context. You will spend half of your time in the School of Modern Languages and Cultures and the other in the Department of Economics. German may be studied at Advanced or Beginner level.
German at Warwick enables you to collaborate with academic specialists to develop your language skills and intercultural competence. Our modules reflect the range and diversity of Germany’s culture, history and society. Intensive language work opens up the richness of German language and cultural subjects such as film, literature, politics, philosophy and history. This means you will finish your degree as a highly proficient, internationally mobile linguist with a deep understanding of key issues and developments in Germany’s cultural past and present.
Alongside your study of German, you will specialise in Economics: this is the study of choice, investigating the choices of consumers and corporations, groups and governments, networks and nations. It plays a part in every aspect of modern life, using scientific methods to develop theoretical models of behaviour and testing intuition with empirical analysis of markets, institutions and public policy. In Economics, you will study the choices of consumers, corporations, governments, networks and nations. You will also develop a deep knowledge of global and local economic trends, institutions and policies.
Your second or third year is normally spent abroad, either as a language assistant, or working or studying at one of our partner universities. This is an invaluable opportunity to immerse yourself in the linguistic and cultural contexts where German is spoken, enhance your language skills and build international connections.
You will have access to outstanding facilities and resources. This includes flexible collaborative and individual learning spaces, as well as a vast selection of print, digital and multimedia learning materials.
You will graduate as a highly qualified linguist, with advanced intercultural skills and a sophisticated understanding of key concepts and debates in German-speaking cultures. The specialist communication, research, critical and evaluative skills you will gain are all highly sought after by employers.
