Course overview
Economics plays a part in every aspect of modern life, investigating the choices of consumers and corporations, groups and governments, networks and nations. It uses scientific methods to develop theoretical models of behaviour and markets, institutions and public policy. Germany is the leading economy in the EU, making the joint study of economics and German language and culture a powerful combination.
This joint degree enables you to acquire in-depth relevant linguistic and cultural studies while developing your ability as an analyst of international economic phenomena. You will spend half of your time in the School of Modern Languages and Cultures and the other in the Department of Economics.
You will normally spend your second or third year abroad, consolidating and enhancing your learning.
Study abroad
We strongly recommend that you take a year abroad as part of your modern languages degree, if you are able to. If you are unable to take a year abroad you will move to a three-year. You will be required to complete further language reinforcement work. You will also be encouraged to spend time abroad in other ways, during vacation times.
You will usually spend your year abroad doing one of three things:
- Working as a language assistant teaching English in a primary or secondary school
- Studying full-time at a partner university in your chosen country
- On a work placement

Core modules
In your first year, you will follow a core German language programme at either beginner or advanced level, designed to develop your knowledge and understanding of written and spoken German. You will also be able to focus on aspects of contemporary German culture and society, as well as German culture from the late eighteenth century to 1945. This foundational approach provides an excellent basis for studying further aspects of German history, culture and society in the later stages of your degree. You will also have two core modules in Economics.
In intermediate and final year, and in addition to core and optional modules in Economics, you will further develop your language skills, and your own interests beyond the language.
Our modules reflect the research specialisms of academics in German and cover a broad range of subjects in German culture, business, society, literature, film, history and philosophy. You can also opt to study some of our interdisciplinary cross-School modules.
You can choose to spend your year abroad studying at a university in a German speaking country or on a British Council Assistantship or a work placement.
Year One
Modern German Language 1
You will develop your translation, grammatical and speaking skills in German, and in doing so broaden your vocabulary and range of idiom, expression and awareness of various stylistic registers. You will work in a pair or group on a media project under the supervision of a tutor, which will contribute to your end-of-year mark in spoken German.

Modern German Language for Beginners
As a beginner in the acquisition of the German language, you will cover the main linguistic skills in speaking, listening, writing and reading. You will focus on gaining grammatical accuracy as well and communicative fluency and competence. By the end of the year, you will be expected to be able to sustain everyday conversations in German, read authentic texts such as newspaper articles, follow the gist of TV extracts and be able to write an intermediate range of texts in German. You will also work on basic translations to and from German as a means of consolidating your knowledge.

Provincial - Pariah - Powerhouse: Reading German-language Culture in a Global Perspective
Which stories, sounds, images, and events come to mind when you first think of Germany and the German language? This module focuses on the media and representations through which many of us first encounter German-language culture: fairy tales and adaptations; performance, visual, and screen culture; music and sound.
Across the module, you will build up your linguistic confidence by engaging with sources of increasing length, giving you a sense of the nuances of German delivered in diverse settings. Our aim is to equip students with a toolkit for critically engaging with the narratives and media that determine our relationships with contemporary society.
We will meet a wide variety of notable characters, including Nobel Prize winners and pioneering figures like Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, whose works helped to define what German culture meant at a time when “Germany” did not yet exist as a nation state, and when the global elite looked down upon German as a provincial lesser cousin to Latin, Italian, and French. How, then, did German culture transform the status of the German language? How did German-speaking artists shape the cultural genres that we all consume today? And how does engaging with such works give us a more differentiated understanding of the positive and negative aspects of Germany’s history and its global influence? Ultimately, we seek to understand developments that led to Germany’s emergence as a cultural, political, and economic powerhouse.
