Course summary
BA German and Spanish provides a comprehensive grounding in the German language, and the opportunity to explore German culture, linguistics, history and literature. You will be equipped with the skills and expertise needed to thrive in a German-speaking environment. You will also develop a thorough grounding in the language and culture of the Spanish-speaking world as well as the opportunity to learn Catalan.
German- Our core German language courses (at post A-Level or beginners' level) are complemented by a variety of other subject areas, including linguistics, and a wide range of cultural and historical units that use German-language sources to improve your core language competence, as well as your wider knowledge of German-speaking countries.- Specialisms in German include historical and contemporary linguistics, literary studies, screen studies, gender and sexuality, modern cultural history, minority cultures and Holocaust studies. - The third year includes a period spent in a German-speaking country. You can choose a work placement, teach English in schools as part of the British Council's assistantship scheme, or study at our prestigious partner institutions in Berlin, Freiburg, Hamburg, Heidelberg, Leipzig, Basel and Innsbruck.- Our teaching, praised in the Teaching Quality Assessment and by external examiners, is backed up by an innovative Independent Language Learning Programme, enabling you to take control of your own learning experience.- Enjoy strong links with the Goethe Institute and the Austrian Cultural Forum, which sponsor a varied programme of cultural events.
Spanish- Alongside your study of Spanish language, you will explore a range of options in visual culture (including film), area-specific history, linguistics and literature.- The breadth of expertise among staff across Spanish and Latin American Studies means an unusually rich and broad curriculum.- 80% of our staff are first-language Spanish-speakers, and language courses are taught by native speakers with specific training.- You will also benefit from us working closely with the Centre for Latin American and Caribbean Studies and we maintain strong links with the Instituto Cervantes located here in Manchester.The course unit details listed below are those you may choose to study as part of this programme and are referred to as optional units.
