The programme in German will give you an academic perspective at the Germanic language in terms of linguistics, literature and culture. During the course we will instil within you a deep appreciation for the language by helping you refine and hone your lexical, syntactic and grammatical abilities in all of the language's mediums. Your heightened insight in history and culture will prove invaluable in the work field, and you will gain a better understanding of how the contemporary state of the German language and Germany itself have been affected by key historical events. We also encourage you to participate in the Erasmus+ mobility programme, as we believe a diversified and multicultural experience will give you a holistic academic journey.

In the undergraduate course in Sociology, we will provide you with an academic lens on the study of human behaviour and its causal and contingent relationship with social life in its versatile facets. By studying sociology, you will become knowledgeable on the cohesive and important structures of society and its organisations. You will have a heightened and refined awareness on topics ranging from economic and environmental sociology, to sociology of sport, law and religion. We will also encourage you to participate in an Erasmus+ mobility programme for a multicultural and diverse academic journey.
Communication and Academic Skills Programme
