More about Language and Linguistics

Subject

German

German is one of the most important languages of Europe, and it is the first language of about 100 million people. It is an official language in three states: Germany, Austria and Switzerland. For historical reasons, German has an important role as an intermediary language in Europe. A reason for this is, among others, the great economic and cultural position of Germany in our part of the world. For centuries Germany and Austria have exerted great influence on Swedish culture in areas such as music, art and literature. Germany is the largest and most important trading partner of Sweden, and for that reason, good skills in German are in high demand on the labour market. This is why the German division at the Department of Baltic languages, Finnish and German offers courses in German at all levels, from beginners’ courses to courses at the postgraduate level. Most of these courses have been divided in a number of subcourses. Some courses emphasize language skills and capabilities to communicate in German in both speech and writing, while others impart knowledge about the literature, history and sociology of the German-speaking countries, as well as about the structure of the language. You may study German as a complementary part of another program (as a Minor) or as a complete program which may lead up to a Ph.D. degree. Also, you may study German within the Joint Programme for Master of Arts and Master of Education that leads to a Degree of Master of Art and Master of Education. Please note that, with most day time courses, a certain amount of teaching will take place in the evening.
