Welcome to German Studies in the School of Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures (SMLLC)

German Studies has approximately 200 students currently enrolled, with four full-time staff and one Austrian Lektorin (supported by the Austrian Agency for International Cooperation in Education and Research). There are also several part-time staff, many of whom are German native speakers.

We offer courses that aim to

  • help students to develop their German language competence to a high standard;
  • introduce them to German, Swiss and Austrian history and culture in a comprehensive way;
  • develop their creative, analytical and critical thinking; and
  • foster a productive engagement with a culture that is not the students’ native culture.

We ensure that small class sizes and friendly student-staff relations create a productive learning atmosphere.
