Overview
Each year, about a third of your time is devoted to Czech. You spend half your third year in Germany or another German-speaking country; the other half in the Czech Republic.
The course combines intensive language training with rigorous academic study.
We teach in German on several of our modules, which cover literature, culture, history, philosophy, politics, language theory and usage in German-speaking countries. Specialist options include Dutch and Luxembourgish.
In the first year you’ll begin advanced practice in spoken and written German. You will also study contemporary German society and its history; and phases of German literature.
In the second year your language training becomes more advanced. Optional modules include topics from linguistics, literature, society and politics, history, philosophy and film studies.
Your language training continues in the final year. Major options include German thought, modern and pre-modern literature, politics, linguistics, Dutch and Luxembourgish.
