Undergraduate
BA German and Italian
Is this programme for me?
German and Italian are key
languages in Europe today, with an ever-strengthening
role. This degree will give you an intimate first-hand
familiarity with European culture which will put you on
a cosmopolitan 'wavelength' in life, and in your
reading. Exploration of other cultures, past and
present, is an enriching experience, giving historical
perspective and enhanced cultural, social and aesthetic
vision. As you advance towards graduate status you will
acquire the ability to read, speak and write German and
Italian accurately, and with ease.
Programme aims
The BA offers a range of
interrelated options in German and Italian language,
linguistics, literature, society and thought.
You're expected to gain an outstanding facility
in reading, writing and speaking German and Italian, but
also, and principally, a trained mind. In addition,
you'll develop the confidence which comes with
appraising intellectual issues, articulating your own
conclusions by developing an independent and
enterprising spirit.
Programme structure
The degree consists of 12
units.
Prestige and career
progression
The programme has been
developed by the Departments of German and Italian at
Royal Holloway, both recognised centres of excellence in
teaching and research in the UK.
The intellectual and personal qualities which
degree-level work in the humanities develops are in
demand in the work place. You can expect to achieve a
broad range of transferable skills, communicative
competence and the ability to discriminate and analyse.
The degree will prepare you for many careers including
the public services, teaching and research, journalism,
media and business.
