German Course content

You will learn about culture and society (literature, cinema, Landeskunde (area studies), history, popular culture, current affairs, language in society etc.) in Austria, Germany and Switzerland. Frequently, award-winning authors and other eminent speakers from these countries visit us and our students get the opportunity to interact with them directly. You will also, of course, be developing your language awareness and your German language skills by working with exciting and topical texts, visual material and online digital resources, and, at an advanced stage, developing your translation and interpreting skills. From the beginning, you will be actively involved in the classes and will find yourself doing research on new topics, often with your fellow students for group presentations, video projects, podcasts and essays.

Note: German is available at beginners’ and post-Leaving Certificate (advanced) level. Students require a minimum H4 grade in German to study German from advanced level. Students require a minimum H4 grade in a language other than English to study beginners’ German.
