Bachelor of Art - German Philology

About

Our German philology program not only teaches German at an expert level, but also provides practical abilities and skills necessary for a successful career in language services as a teacher, translator, communication and intercultural integration specialist, editor, or entrepreneur. You will acquire basic scientific knowledge and competences in the four areas of studies: modern German literature, medieval German literature, linguistics and German as a foreign and second language. At a more advanced stage in your studies, the curriculum provides you the opportunity to set individual focal points: You can specialise in individual subject areas through freely selectable courses and complete a non-university internship. Thereby, you can individualise your qualification profile and adapt it to your professional goals and subsequent master's programmes.
Career Path
Your in-depth understanding of language will open numerous paths with an international dimension, and you'll have developed excellent all-round communication skills that will make you a strong contender for openings in the media, PR, and similar areas. Many of our graduates go straight into business services, marketing, advertising, management, banking, or communications.
