The four-year German BA encompasses intense study of German language and culture from the earliest times to the present. This programme combines a strong emphasis on linguistic competence with an exceptional breadth of research-led teaching, offering a detailed understanding of the development of German culture and society.
In each year of your degree you will take a number of individual modules, normally valued at 15 or 30 credits, adding up to a total of 120 credits for the year. Modules are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional modules varies from programme to programme and year to year. A 30-credit module is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).
The first two years are essentially 'contextual', providing you with a broad overview and a methodological framework for your studies. Modules can be divided into the following broad areas:
Language - discussion and essay, comprehension, translation, grammar Literature and literary theory - authors, themes, textual criticism Cultural Studies - interdisciplinary analysis, diverse forms of representation Film - history, theory and analysis of film History/Politics - German and Austrian politics, and history and social and political theory Linguistics - linguistic theory, history of the language, sociolinguistics, political discourse
You may also take modules offered by SELCS, allowing you to study literature, history, film and linguistics from outside your subject area. This will enable you to focus on broad cultural movements, issues and approaches from an interdisciplinary perspective and draw on the full range of specialisms within the school.
You will spend your third year abroad in a German-speaking country: at a university, as an English language assistant within a school, or on an approved work placement. In your final year you will choose from a range of advanced options, allowing you to specialise in your own areas of interest.

Upon successful completion of 360 credits, you will be awarded a BA (Hons) in German.
