German studies

The German Studies programme offers an intensive introduction to the German language and to the cultures and literatures of the German-speaking communities.
A broad range of subjects enables students to acquire a wide range of intercultural communicative skills in German. In addition to German, the programme offers the study of a second Germanic language, Dutch or Swedish, to acquire broader linguistic and intercultural competences.
Graduates of the German Studies programme will be able to perform jobs and tasks that require a good knowledge of the German language, cultural specificities and intercultural communication. They will work in various fields of business and various public and government services with contacts abroad, in various cultural institutions, publishing houses, and in the cultural and foreign policy editorial departments of several media. The programme also prepares them for further study in one of the second-cycle programmes offered by the Department of German Studies, where they can expand and deepen their knowledge.
The concept of the programme encourages students to participate more actively and creatively, developing a higher level of textual criticism, self-criticism of their actions, and intercultural evaluation.
