Bachelor of Arts with Honours - German

The University of Otago

German culture and creativity form much of the Western heritage in music, visual art, architecture, philosophy and the sciences. It’s easy to see that the study of German can enhance the study of many other disciplines. German is one of the world’s major European languages and one of the two principal languages of Europe. Germany is one of the world’s largest contributors to research and development, and its well-funded universities are an important destination for scientists and students. Knowledge of German language and culture has long been an asset in Europe but it is also a major advantage within New Zealand. In our world of global communication and travel, language specialists find themselves constantly in demand. German involves the study of a language that is closely related to English.
