During each of the three years you spend in Exeter, you will follow a course in written and spoken German, which includes regular classes with specially-trained native speakers. In your first year you will follow a core module which introduces you to key developments in the history, literature and culture of Germany and Austria in the 20th century and which trains you in the skills of critical analysis. If you study German as part of a Combined Honours degree it is often possible to tailor your options so that they complement your second subject, and one module in the final year is taught by three departments within the School of Modern Languages. We are committed to updating our courses in response to developments in education at school and university level. Careful consideration has been given to our courses to help you make the transition from A Level to university work.
All modules are subject to change from time to time.
The following will be on offer in 2000-2001, and may be supplemented by others, as new staff members join us. Credit values are indicated in brackets. Students take courses amounting to 120 credits per year in all four years. The composition of a degree programme therefore depends on the credit value of the component modules. As a Combined Honours student you will normally take 60 credits per year in each of the two disciplines you study.
