German is very close to English; both languages are based on the same linguistic roots and principles, and share a wide range of concepts and vocabulary. You'll study the core language skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing.
German literature units are designed to provide a study of literary texts and cultural practices, authors, periods and literatures from the medieval period to the present day.
There are different entry options available, depending your individual level of language proficiency. The undergraduate program caters for students whose language proficiency levels range from no prior knowledge to native or advanced.
