Course summary

German involves the study of a key European language and its culture. At Glasgow we provide a wide spectrum of teaching, ranging from the 18th century to contemporary culture. You will combine the study of language and culture in courses that focus on using German in practical and professional contexts, which makes our graduates stand out when applying for jobs. The course you study in first year depends on how much German you have studied before. If you have an SQA Higher or A-level in German (grade A or B), you will take the level-1 non-beginners’ language and culture courses. If you are a beginner or near-beginner in the language and have some previous language learning experience, you can take the level-1 beginners’ course, which provides an intensive foundation in reading, writing and speaking German. If you study two languages, you will spend your year abroad in a country where one of the two languages you are studying is spoken and you’ll spend another three months abroad in your fourth year, which will allow you to go to a country where your second language is spoken.Language graduates go into a whole host of careers including: media, arts organisations, education / teaching, fast stream civil service, banking, management, public relationsdiplomatic service.Employers really value the transferable skills you gain during a degree in languages. A degree from the School of Modern Languages & Cultures will enable you to look at the world in a different way.
