Here's what University of Warwick says about its German Studies course.
German Studies at Warwick provides the opportunity to explore the extraordinary breadth and depth of German language and culture in collaboration with recognised experts in the field.
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. Our German Studies BA offers the possibility to take a range of optional modules in other departments.
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.
Germany has always been at the heart of the European intellectual tradition and is now the driving force of its economy and the EU.
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.
Your second or third year is normally spent abroad, either as a language assistant, or working or studying at one of our partner universities (at present including Berlin, Munich, Cologne and Dresden). 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.
