B.A. General in German / B.A.(Hons) in German
The B.A. General and B.A. Honours (Hons) courses in German offer a rich programme combining German language, linguistics, literature and culture studies of the German-speaking countries.
The courses extend over a period of three years of full-time study. The first year of the course is the same for B.A. General and Honours. All B.A. students at the Faculty of Arts study two subjects during their first year and they can choose from a vast variety of subject combinations.
After the first year, students can decide whether to opt for a B.A.(Hons) degree in German or whether to study for a B.A. General, i.e. to keep two equal main areas of study. Honours students write research-based dissertations during their final year.
Access detailed information on the B.A.(Hons) in German course structure and how to apply for the course. If you have queries, send an email or contact the departmental secretary Ms Charlotte Cucciardi.
