ObjectivesThis degree maintains a strong focus on German language, politics and culture, whilst offering scope for those who wish to develop their interest in politics and international affairs. It is designed to meet the needs of those intent on careers in the socio-political and business spheres or within an area of the EU. Although during the first two years of your degree three of your four modules will be based in the Department of German Studies, in the final year of your programme you can select up to half your modules from the Department of Politics and International Studies.
