This course has a distinctive comparative literary approach for those wishing to study of German language and culture together with the English-speaking tradition and the interconnections and interactions between the two. Germany has always been at the heart of the European intellectual tradition and is now the driving force of its economy and the EU. Combining German and English gives you the opportunity to explore connections and interactions between literatures and cultures. This means you’ll graduate as a highly qualified linguist with advanced intercultural skills, a deep understanding of key issues and developments in Germany’s past and present, and an advanced knowledge of English and comparative literature. We will track your progress through language assignments, essays, presentations, portfolio submissions and examinations (written and oral). Our Modern Languages graduates work for organisations including: British Council, BBC, Foreign and Commonwealth Office, PWC, Ministry of Defence, TeachFirst, United Nations, Amnesty International.
