Why is this subject for me? German is the most widely-spoken first lan- guage in Europe. Studying German at UCD gives you the opportunity to master not just the lan- guage, but also to explore the cultural heritage of the German-speaking countries. World litera- ture and music, art and architecture, philosophy and the sciences would be unthinkable without contributions by German speakers, and the Germany of today is also the undisputed eco- nomic powerhouse of Europe. Studying German thus offers an array of cultural and business opportunities. You can get involved in extra-curricular
German activities such as debates, conversation coffee mornings and German Society events.
What will I study? Teaching is in small groups, and students have contact with all our lecturers. In addition to core language and introductory literature modules (necessary for German as a Major and marked by *), you choose optional modules in linguis- tics, history, cultural and area studies. Tese will further develop your cultural awareness and key transferable skills. Typical modules include:
First Year *German Language • *Introduction to German Literature • Introduction to German Linguistics & Translation • German Political Culture
Second & Final Year *German Language • *19th Century German Literature • *20th Century German Literature • Translation English-German & German- English • Swiss Detective Novels • Te Legend of ‘Faust’ and the Devil • History of the Tird Reich • South Tirol • Contemporary German Prose • Youth and Cruelty in German Modernist Literature

German BA (Hons) (NFQ Level 8)
Choosing German German can be taken as part of a BA Joint Honours degree (DN500). It can also be taken on a part time basis (DN501). You can also study French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese. Opportunities exist for suitably qualified students to spend a year abroad and graduate with a BA (International). If you have already decided that you wish to spend a year abroad as part of your degree, then consider DN532 International German. If you wish to study more than one of these languages, as well as spend a year abroad, then consider DN541 International Languages. Check out the other subjects you can study with German by looking at the diagram on page 33. Details of how to apply for these combinations, as part of DN500, are on page 184.

Kate
Rothwell STUDENT
Securing a year abroad was my top priority. I wanted to study English and a foreign language, so the BA (International) with German was perfect. Te International degree allows you to confirm a place in your chosen language and secure your Erasmus place – though you
still have to get the required grades! A language is a great combination with English; and thanks to smaller numbers and language-society events, you get to know plenty of your classmates. I’m aiming for a career in journalism and am getting plenty of experience through the great selection of student media outlets at UCD.
