Overview

It concentrates on the four basic language skills: reading, writing, speaking, comprehension. Students attend language classes, a reinforcement tutorial conducted in German and a practical class in the Language Centre.

The course may be taken alone as a pure language course, or in combination with GM 1031, and can lead on to a degree with Honours in German.
