You can study German as a joint honours degree with Spanish (50% German, 50% Spanish). This course will give you advanced skills in both German and Spanish language, and will give you a broad range of specialised and detailed insights into the cultures, societies and history that goes with them. The course has language at the heart of it, with core modules developing the key oral, aural and written skills every year. These modules also foster cultural awareness, which you will need for your year abroad, and later on, for the world of work. In addition to the two languages the syllabus includes a broad range of stimulating options for each of your subjects. First-year courses include an introduction to the history, culture, cinema and literatures of Europe. Second- and final-year options offer increasing levels of specialisation as you proceed towards your degree. They cover a wide variety of cultural and literary material from various centuries but with emphasis on the modern period.
