Master of Arts in German and English Language

Program Overview

More people speak German as their native language than any other in Europe, and it is the third most popular foreign language studied worldwide.

This programme offers you the opportunity to study German in its cultural context while exploring how the English language has changed over time.

Combining the linguistic and cultural study of languages demonstrates that you are a good communicator, a resilient problem solver, and someone open to other cultures and new ideas – what employers value as intercultural competence.

German

Intensive language training, including a year abroad, will give you the chance to gain professional skills in all aspects of German, including writing, speaking, presenting and translating.

You will also explore German-language literature, film and theatre, all within the context of historical and political developments from the eighteenth century to contemporary times.

English Language

The English language has a well-recorded history of more than 1,000 years, and its changes can be traced through written materials ranging from medieval manuscripts to text messages, and more recently, through recordings of spoken English.

Your studies will develop your knowledge and understanding of:

  • the principles of theoretical linguistics

  • the way we learn language

  • the regional and social variations of language, particularly the English language

  • methods of communication

As part of the programme, you can opt to study the Scots language, which has its own rich linguistic and literary tradition.

English Language courses of particular interest to students of German cover:

  • the speech sounds of the world's languages

  • variation in the languages of the world
