The Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures provides an extensive curriculum covering literary and cultural studies, with specializations in film and music. Students can choose to focus on German Studies, Scandinavian Studies, or combine German/Scandinavian studies with another discipline. Our objective is to immerse students in the exploration of foreign languages, literatures, and cultures, helping them develop fresh insights about their own linguistic and cultural backgrounds. The department also highlights how German-speaking and Nordic nations have shaped Western civilization. Through mastering German or a Scandinavian language, students develop valuable skills applicable across diverse professional paths. This program caters both to those pursuing advanced studies in Germanic fields and those entering professions like medicine, law, public service, scientific research, commerce, creative arts, design, and more.
