German

Course summary

Although the disciplines associated with this subject are the same as GCSE - Listening, Reading, Writing, Speaking, and the study of grammar - the A-level course offers you a broad, “liberal arts” education. You will learn about the current trends, social issues, history, politics, art, literature and film of Germany and Austria. The study of German will broaden your mind and the subject links well to English, History, Politics and Geography A-levels, whilst offering a refreshing blast of culture for those studying Maths and Science. German A-level is a taster of what you can expect to study if you choose a Modern Languages degree at university.
