Welcome to the Department of German and Russian

In German and Russian, we do more than just teach you a language.

We offer undergraduate programmes and courses in German literature, culture and language, German for business and commerce, and Russian literature, language and culture.

We also offer excellent opportunities to sharpen your language skills and experience their cultures first hand with programmes delivered in Heidelberg, St. Petersburg and Nizhny Novgorod.

The knowledge of two or three languages is vital in today's global environment.

Training in German and Russian helps prepare students for careers in international business, the foreign service, the publishing industry, as translators, and in international law to name just a few.
