There are 100 million German speakers in Europe. This course aims to allow you to enhance your linguistic and critical thinking skills, together with developing an understanding of the culture and society of countries where German is spoken. An A level in German develops you as an independent user of the language with the confidence to interact in writing and verbally with users of the language. It will also enable you to engage critically with texts, films and other materials and equip you with valuable transferable skills.

You will be expected to have good independent study skills as a lot of reading and research will need to be carried out. You should be willing to learn vocabulary independently and thoroughly as well.
