Course summary

We aim to equip you with excellent communication, research, critical and evaluative skills, all of which are highly sought after by employers. Our German with Film Studies (BA) degree gives you the opportunity to specialise in the German language and culture while spending a quarter of your time on Film Studies. German Studies at Warwick provides the opportunity to explore the extraordinary breadth and depth of the German language and culture in collaboration with recognised experts in the field. Germany has always been at the heart of European intellectual and cultural traditions, not least the birth of early cinema. This creates a natural synergy between these two subject areas. Combining German with film means you will graduate as a highly qualified linguist with a deep understanding of key issues and developments in Germany’s past and present. You will gain advanced intercultural skills and excellent knowledge of visual aesthetics, cinematic culture, and narrative forms. You will normally spend your second or third year abroad, consolidating and enhancing your learning.
