In a global perspective, important and internationally renowned literature, science, technology, commerce and philosophy always have, and still do, originate in German-speaking countries and the German language. German at Waikato is characterised by its innovative approach. Our students, while studying language and literature, combine these with studies on European Integration and learn to apply their specific skills in commerce and government. The people who teach in our Section are enthusiasts and experts alike, and we enjoy working with students in an informal and friendly atmosphere. Careful advice on courses is given to students and study and career planning is considered central.
Students can choose from a range of opportunities to live and work in Germany.
All these activities are especially useful as extensions to some of Waikato's unique study programmes, such as the European Studies programme and the International Management Programme .
