You may choose a 3 or 4 year mode of study i.e., including or omitting a period of residence abroad. You will take one German Language module per semester. You will therefore accumulate credits and receive grades for study completed abroad. You will accumulate credits and receive grades on the basis of job evaluations, job placement reports and a dissertation. Our Language programmes aim to improve the full range of communicative competence.
Equal emphasis is given to the development of written, oral, aural and reading skills.
Written exercises may involve summary and essay practice in German, translation and grammar work. Other exercises are designed to improve reading and listening skills. On the oral side, role-plays, debates, short presentations and discussion with Foreign Language Assistants form the basis of your work. Language learning provides the perfect context for developing interpersonal skills. Techniques for achieving this are built into all language programmes.
