Course summary

Studying English and German together gives you a unique perspective on how languages shape communication, culture and influence. In English, you’ll explore how the language works in different contexts, its history, politics and global reach, and how it is used to influence and persuade. Alongside this, you’ll develop your German proficiency and gain insight into German-speaking cultures. This combination equips you with both linguistic expertise and critical understanding of how language reflects and shapes society. By the end of your studies, you’ll be a confident, independent communicator. This is one of several subject combinations in our BA (Honours) Language Studies.
