Students will study the literature and culture of German-speaking countries while acquiring comprehensive German language skills. Through specialized courses, students will deepen their understanding of the diverse and complex history and culture of central Europe, including Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, while developing the logical thinking skills required to analyze and interpret literary and artistic works, and imagination skills necessary for reading texts. The examination of different cultures will also provide an opportunity to question the state of Japan and ourselves today.
The Department of German Literature aims to cultivate flexible and wise insights into the world and people, by exploring Western culture from its underlying language, to nurture individuals who have acquired the ability to empathize with others and express themselves.
Curriculum
In the first and second years, students acquire basic German language skills in reading, listening, writing, and speaking. At the same time, they learn about German culture and ideas through introductory courses in German literature and literary studies. In the fall semester of the second year, up to five students may take prescribed courses at the University of Düsseldorf, Germany.
In the third and fourth years, students read literary works in the “Literature Exercise” in Group A, and in Group B, they study the literature, art, and language of German-speaking countries systematically and multilaterally, focusing on a variety of works. In the fourth year, students apply their language skills and knowledge of German literature and culture to their graduation research.
