Overview

Graduates of the Languages and Cultures (German) and Linguistics (with a year abroad) (Hons) course from University of York have an excellent record of pursuing fulfilling paths after graduation.

Quick Facts:

Develop your modern language proficiency. You'll be taught in the language you’re learning, with a focus on society, politics and culture. Guided by our supportive staff, many of whom are native speakers, you’ll rapidly develop your fluency and knowledge. If you choose a language as a beginner (ab initio), you’ll be amazed at how you progress.
Learn the science behind how we communicate. In linguistics, you’ll engage with language on a conceptual level and analyse linguistic data. You’ll have options to explore syntax, semantics, phonetics, phonology, sociolinguistics and more, with academics who are leading researchers with a genuine passion for their subjects.
Explore specialist labs and facilities. Depending on the modules you choose, you’ll learn in dedicated spaces, including our e-lab. We’re also home to a premium multilingual interpreting and translation suite.
Enhance your experience with a year abroad. You’ll study at one of our partner universities, or take a work placement or internship. Your plans will be supported by our year abroad coordinators. If you prefer not to go abroad, we offer a 3-year Linguistics with German degree.
