A degree in modern languages provides you with exceptional communication abilities, analytical thinking, and research expertise - qualities that employers highly value. The German and History (BA) program merges comprehensive German linguistic and cultural studies with diverse historical topics.
This program blends rigorous examination of German language and traditions with extensive historical coursework.
In addition to German language studies, you'll benefit from the strong connections between both academic departments. Opportunities may include exploring post-1918 German society (covering the Weimar era, Nazi Germany, and postwar developments), or delving into 18th-19th century cultural movements like the Enlightenment, Romanticism, revolutionary periods, and the emergence of modern capitalism and imperial systems.
Your history curriculum will further allow you to investigate both European and global historical developments.
