German Studies (Bachelor)

Translating Middle High German texts, reinterpreting classics of literary history or analyzing digital messages in social media from a linguistic perspective - all of this is part of the curriculum when studying German Studies at the University of Kassel.

The broad spectrum of the Bachelor's degree course scores points for its practical relevance and initially teaches basic knowledge in linguistics, literature and media studies as well as key skills in communication and academic methodology. Later on, a compulsory elective area is added, which enables students to specialize in specific professional fields.

The BA course in German Studies is suitable for those who have a love of reading and communication as well as a special interest in language. The use and analysis of language are fundamental elements of the course, as is the promotion of individual expression skills. Germanists also like to think outside the box and work with the findings of neighboring disciplines - from philosophy and history to psychology, education, neuroscience and gender research.
