The MA (Hons) in German at St Andrews uses a specially designed language teaching programme that caters both for students who have already studied German as a main subject at school and for beginners.The MA (Hons) in German is also available as a five-year course with an integrated year abroad. The integrated year abroad is an opportunity for students to spend a year working in a German-speaking country between second year and third year.Ê

The MA (Hons) in German is a four-year course run by the School of Modern Languages. The course is available to both students who are beginners in German and to more advanced students who have studied German to A-Level or SQA Higher.

In the first two years, students will take modules which complement their level of German entering the degree. Students of all levels will build on existing skills in German and are offered a broad view of German literature, civilisation and culture.

Alongside German, in the first year of your studies, you will be required to study an additional two subjects. In the second year you will usually carry on at least one of these subjects, sometimes two.
