More people speak German as their native language than any other in Europe, and it is the third most popular foreign language studied worldwide.

This programme offers you the opportunity to study German in its cultural context while exploring how the English language has changed over time.

Combining the linguistic and cultural study of languages demonstrates that you are a good communicator, a resilient problem solver, and someone open to other cultures and new ideas – what employers value as intercultural competence.

Intensive language training, including a year abroad, will give you the chance to gain professional skills in all aspects of German, including writing, speaking, presenting and translating.

Your studies will develop your knowledge and understanding of:

the principles of theoretical linguistics
the way we learn language
the regional and social variations of language, particularly the English language
methods of communication
