Our teaching involves not only the language, but also the arts and culture of the German speaking countries, equipping graduates with valuable intercultural understanding and key transferable skills.

Opportunities exist for suitably qualified students to spend an extra year abroad and graduate with a BA (International). If you wish to reach the level of linguistic proficiency required by employers, we recommend that you opt for the four-year BA (International) degree.?
