We have developed an independent language learning programme which will provide you with a helpful framework for your language activities outside classes. The content courses, though, are normally taught in English. For these purposes, you need to hone your mind in your mother tongue as well. We have also found that teaching through the medium of English allows students to focus more sharply on the sometimes complex concepts that we need to introduce them to. Assessment Courses are assessed by either examination or assignments or a combination of the two.
Some courses require the completion of projects or a dissertation.
There is, of course, also an oral examination in each year of study. You can find details of exactly how each course unit is assessed on our undergraduate course units pages. The German Department pages are maintained by Wiebke Brockhaus. Last updated 25 July 2000.
